    Morning everyone

    Hugs to all those that are feeling sad/poorly x

    Dry, bright and sunny but very windy again here this morning. Was very windy and noisy in the night. Will put washing on the line shortly, will double peg it all so it doesn't fly away!

    DH up and off to work stupid early.

    Dinner last night was pork chops, mash, LO cauli/broc cheese, carrots, green beans, peas and gravy, Victoria jam and cream sponge for dessert for the menfolk. Tonight will be egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, beans, LO fried mash, for the menfolk, I will have a smoked sausage and mushroom omlette and salad. I'm being very good foodwise at the moment, and have been getting the results I want but now seem to be at a plateau - so am trying to kick start the weight loss again. I have several pieces of fish in the freezer, if I'm still not losing I will have several portions of fish next week - in the past it has assisted my weight loss.

    Have all the normal chores to work my way through today - and some more besides - need to get on top of everything before the work in the bathroom starts on Monday - otherwise there will be even more mess everywhere! I'm going to the hairdressers first thing - there's been a disagreement between the owner and her main co-worker so the co-worker has left - I feel loyal to both so may go this time and then decide what I want to do. The appointment was made the last time I was there before they had their disagreement, I go on a regular basis. I don't want to get involved or take sides so may be easier just to find another hairdresser, but that's sometimes easier said than done when you find someone that cuts your hair the way you like it!

    Best get going and get myself organised othewise nothing will get done!

    Keep safe and well x

    Good morning all,

    🙋Hi Bitsy, nice to see you back Hun, hurray for the cleaning being done on Tuesday, one of the advantages of house viewers, I know they are not many, great to see you:j:T
    TTFTM put the steam cleaner down and walk away:rotfl: (I've secretly begged dh to buy me one:D)
    Off out with dh this morning as he has a job in town and I need a few bits and bobs, saves me trying to get there with my bad leg.
    Need a quick tidy before we go.
    I'm planning to crochet some more of my blanket today.
    Tea last night was delish, I made a sticky sauce for the pork steaks and we had it with rice mmm.
    Anyway have a good day, try and keep your hats on🌾🍃

  • Morning all.

    Really blustery day here today .. Great for drying the washing though, which is good cos I've got 3 loads to do.

    We had a sad start to the day, I went to let the chickens out and one of our Bantams had died :( the other bantam isnt an happy chappy cos he's lost his mate...
    We spotted a notice in our farm shop last night advertising bantams for £3 so fingers crossed they have some left.

    Not a great deal happening here today, got a few jobs to do round the house, DH is home today so he is going to get on with pointed the walls in the outbuilding ready for painting over the weekend.

    Right I'm off to put the BM on & do some hoovering.

    Hope you all have a lovely day .. X
