Apple muncher's number crunching

Watty1

Late catch up but I do need to say congratulations on being MF.
Go you!

And well done on so much more besides too.

Liddle have made me happy:

a gazillion little button mushroom

15 white onion

9 satsuma

6 pepper (4 green 1 orange, 1 yelllow)

4 orange

4 nana

2 kiwi

1 apple

1 potato (just as well I bought a couple of their 19p for 1.5kilo packs of tato)

1 pack of dill

I also bought carrots, a red pepper, grapes, pears, baby plum tomatoes and a cuc.

I already had a glut of citrus so now really really need to use some of it up before it goes mouldy...

I made such a yummy mushroom soup. I'll finish that off today and then make more with the other mushrooms! It also got rid of about 6 onions and some garlic and the remains of some chicken stock.

I took pip climbing yesterday and did a workout while they climbed. We synchronised our finishing perfectly! Also synchronised is our hair as I am also channelling my inner flamingo. Though it's mostly on the greys, which is rather a lot these days... SO I'm more of an older flamingo... Dh refuses to synchronise and has gone out .

This is the last Easter hols that I'll have to be thinking about school prep .

Today feels like I am finally on holiday.

A few days later...

The hols are going fairly well, in my opinion. Pip has done a few things and has a few more arranged.

We've hit a bit of a brick wall today though. The school has recommended that the y10 students do 13+ revision sessions of 45 mins per subject over the hols. But also take time to rest and relax... Those recommended sessions alone take over 6 full hours per weekday... Sigh. Obviously no mathematician was consulted as to just how much they are asking children to do... Or mental health person... Twonks. Needless to say, we ain't gonna be doing anywhere near that much...

I'm consistently doing a series of 3 workouts during the hols, increasing the number of sets/weight each time. But I'm also consistently sitting on my backside for many many hours each day. Whoops.

That's blooming ludicrous for Pip.  We all need rest and it concerns me how much youngsters seem to be expected to do between school, homework, activities and exercise.  

Fortunately you can monitor Pip but not all parents will have the confidence to say it's too much.

Hope you both get some rest

Thanks peb.

So far today I have opened a m3tr0bank account, bought undies from mns, bought some thank you cards, had a coffee in c0sta while waiting for a friend who was 45 mins late!!!!!!!, had a water with said friend for 45 mins, come home for lunch.

Now to head to ikealand for more fun!!!

Pip's friend was 1 hour and 25 mins late. Pip did not cope well with the situation, as they always take such care to be on time for their friends... However, they both seem to have enjoyed ikealand and then I took pip over to friend's house and friend's mum brought pip home for me. I got home myself just before DH went out for tea with friends- I could have gone along, but I'd been on the go since 8am and it was now 6, so I just wanted to chill out at home.

I did find the big mirror I wanted in the blue and yellow shop, plus a set of 8 cards for 50p. I need a lot of cards so I bought 7 packs!

My 6.3k dumbbells are actually 6.9k. Go me!

I still have a week of holiday left, though am invigilating on weds am and Thurs pm. Dipping a toe in the water and all that.

Pip is back at school on weds. Their Tuesday evening friends haven't seen the super short pink hair, so the hair stays pink until Tues night when it'll get buzzed and dyed brown.

I had some good finds in the ch shops yesterday. A thin black leather belt, a BNWT l/s work top. a jade coloured summer top, 2 bow ties for dh, an exercise top, some fluffy white wool. £8.25 well spent.

Is Mr Apple partial to a bowtie then? Or are you going somewhere special? Or else I am just going to be picturing him doing the hoovering in it😂🤔
