Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

So .... got a huge pack of turkey mince at Mr A (800g) - actually just wanted the 450g one but they didn't have any:(

Then ended up having to buy more Dol*mio sauce as the one I've got won't do that much meat (I know! but I know it agrees with me & I really can't be bothered to cook from proper scratch just now!) ..... managed to get 2 @ £1 each so not too bad.

Managed to get 5 portions from the batch the other day so hoping with an extra tin of toms, few more mushrooms, I can maybe squeeze 10 portions from this one.

That would cost errrr 65p / portion so not too bad.


Had a nice walk on the beach & it stayed dry (spitting now), Maisie did her new trick of going over the burn bit (left when the tide goes out) over to the other side (where I can't get:eek:) but she did come back!

She's collapsed on my foot (not great, as she's wet!!) so hopefully I'll get peace for the F1 (which is starting very soon!)

Rising,

Aldi do a really nice bolognese sauce if I remember rightly. It's my dd's favourite, and I think it was 69p last time I bought it.

Hello you! Hope things are good - I'm afraid I've not done any diary catching up yet:o but I really will do soon!

Race was pretty good:)

Ohhhh thanks Wannabee I'll have a look the next time I'm there

Glad to hear that you've had a lovely week and feel rested

rising_from_the_ashes

mmm that rested feeling is starting to wear off already :eek:

Really wish I could drop 1 or 2 days at work but unfortunately, being by myself, there's just no way

Hey ho ..... plodding along we go

beanielou

I feel your pain.

So .... another week's trundled by!

Mixed week - woke up in agony middle of Weds night with earache (OMG can't believe how painful it is - how do kids cope with it!).... ended up a Drs and have a "raging infection" in there :eek:

On antibiotics which is a bit worrying as they're the most likely cause of the Crohn's flare .... hopefully it'll be OK as should be short term (last lot I was on a month!)

Found a really bad leak under my sink yesterday :eek: tried to fix it but not successfully:o so I now have a tub under there that I have to empty a couple of time a day .... can't afford a plumber - honestly the whole load of pipes under there need replaced so can't let a plumber see it .....

Had a sore finger afterwards .... it then went "crack" when I was out walking Maisie and I thought "great, it's gone back into place" #

Unfortunately when I got up this morning there's a huge lump on it and it's bloomin' sore .... so off I trundle to the Minor Injuries Clinic (at WGH where I was when I had my flare - miles better than A&E at the other hospital!) ..... so that's 60 odd miles of extra fuel used!

I was 1st in the queue :j ... saw nurse .... had xray ...... had broken finger strapped up ...... *sigh*

Came home & broke a match stick ... don't need anything else to go wrong!

Not sure how it's going to go down at work - I can type .... just not as quickly!

So .... Need to get myself sorted & take Maisie out ..... it was really thick fog when I was out earlier & the amount of people driving around with lights was ridiculous - hope it's better now!
