Well the first thing that popped into my head MG was smile - I need to smile more and I think that will make a huge change because it will cheer me up:D

Frogs chomped - am about to head to the post office - MG look out for a recorded delivery packet tomorrow.:D

Glorious day today - the sun is out my washing is on the line, I might treat myself to some daffs too.

Good Morning

A beautiful day here too washing on line second load in machine , going to have to pop out for pegs as I seem to be very low on them.

Kitchen cleaned, living room not too bad so I am going to tackle my bedroom today, it always seems to end up a dumping ground for everything.

You know there is a whole lot of research in the States that getting people to smile (even is they have to force it at first) raises the quality of their immune system, lowers their blood pressure, reduces severity of migraines, eases PMT.

Not an expert - but I think the smile thing is a cracker - so I will join you in smiling more to myself, the kids and random strangers in the street (its all right MrF will bail me out I am sure:D)

There - that's my first official smile

MG: I had 3 immediate responses to your challenge:eek:1)Reduce my smoking 2) Reduce my spending and 3) Reduce my time on internet:eek::eek::eek:
Going to try all of them starting tommorrow!

Greenbee:
Try to have a tiny amount of solid food - sometimes being so ill and not feeling up to eating becomes a real problem because we then don't want to eat. OH was like this years ago and went down to 6 stone. Dr eventually told us to make him have tiny, minute bits of food. !/4 a roud of sandwich, 1 biscuit, 1/4 of apple etc a tiny bit every couple of hours.
Also for coughing suck 1 square of dark chocholate better than any cough medicine. A doctor told us that one also and it works!

Just back from the post office which was shut:mad: I asked at the shop counter when it would be open and the girl didnt know but told me that the computer system was down not only at that office but also at the main one in Northfield - post will have to wait until tomorrow:mad:

However, I smiled all the way to the florists where I treated myself to some gerberas and then as I was wandering past the local hardware shop noticed that they had little pots of tete a tete daffs for 99p - of course I bought some and they look jolly nice (far better than the gerberas) plus when they have died back I can plant them in the garden and I know just where I am going to put them:D

Still smiling despite not being able to see with this poxy spex - come back David all is forgiven you were the best optometrist the eye hospital ever had you replacement is nowhere near as good.

Got two challenges immediately then - walk and work - walk more to get fitter and work at the stuff I need to get done instead of faffing aorund and wasting time and then having to do it far too late at night and no more playing catch-up with stuff.

If I was to do decluttering one hour every evening that would be absolutely AMAZING!!!

Right in response to my "Flat Battery" post today I have been inspired to clean up my eating a little.

Looking for a quick substitute for mince for me with the kids favourite recipes (spa bol, chilli, shepherds pie kind of thing) ................. so looked at quorn mince. Sheeeesh but its expensive.:eek:

So had a ponder and a rummage in my store cupboard - looking for cheap, looking for high nutritional value. So I have cooked up (separately cos they all take different times to cook) the following.

1/2 cup green lentils
1/2 cup red lentils
1/2 cup mung beans
1/2 cup bulghar wheat

Now what I have got is a bowl of greeny / brown grainy textured mushy stuff. It is a complete protein mixture - because I have combined pulses and grains - so :j

Now although it doesn't look gorgeous I can see it being stirred into an onion gravy for a shepherds pie base, tomato and herb for bolognaise, with extra kidney beans for chilli ............. do you get the idea??

In fact it would be nice tipped into some of my vegetable soup base to make a more filling soup.

Just checked -this is free on SW Green (so that decides which plan I am following :rotfl:) and of course was FREE to me as I had everything in stock.

Now I think I will freeze this in my muffin tins like I did with all my soup components and play around and see how many great meals I can make for myself in the next couple of weeks.

ETA It makes 12 muffin cups full.
