    You’ve done really well after being so poorly 👏 Health is definitely more important than money. I’m also sceptical about the LFTs, not convinced they are accurate. I don’t like Zoom either 👎

    It certainly was Beanie 😁 nothing exciting but a walk by the sea and fish and chips scores highly in Milannland…..I’m a simple sole at heart.
    I love that fish and chip pun in "simple sole". 😋  That was all I wanted during the last lockdown - to be by the sea and to be eating fish and chips.

    OBL…..I love Christmas cake but can take or leave the pudding. No idea why think it’s because I hated the taste after my dad always set it alight. I don’t do that but the image and taste lingers….
    I never liked the puddings until I hit my 40s then for some reason I found a taste for it, I don't like fancy ones though only cheap ones 😀

    I have felt a bit flat this week too, I think it's a post festivities come down which is daft because before it got here I was looking forward to it being over but now that's  happened I'm sad 🙄😀. I'm also going to work tomorrow after a week off and I'm not looking forward to going if it's like it was before Christmas 😟

    Not much happening here today. I’m not planning any spends so my 2022 spends should still be 0 😁
    I'm having a bit of a tidy but nothing too drastic as I’ll do it properly when I take the decorations down on Thursday.
    Tea will be leftover leek, potato and carrots from yesterday with a stir fry of chicken, bacon, chestnuts and sprouts. An odd combo but should be tasty and use some stuff from the bottom of the fridge up 👍
    scottiedog - I’d not even clocked the sole and fish and chips pun 😂😂😂
    OBL - we were at a friends a few years back and she went on and on about her fancy pudding from a posh London shop which is frequented by royalty…..what a letdown. I preferred my Aldi one 😂😂

    Your tea sounds quite delicious milann - and very healthy with all that veg!👍
    Unfortunately for me and my weight, I have always enjoyed a pudding or dessert or whatever you like to call it! I don't care where it comes from!😂😂😂

    SSG it was even more delicious than I imagined it would be. I’ll definitely do a stir fry like that again - my new way to use sprouts up.
    I’ve got a phone appointment with DWP tomorrow then I’m seeing a friend I used to work with Ive missed her as she is a character and a half. We usually end up laughing - even though she’s been through a tough year herself.

    I love sprouts sliced up in a stir fry 😋 Hope the DWP call goes well and enjoy your catch up afterwards.

    It was ok today….not the usual lady - I was on the phone to DWP all of 2 minutes saying nothing had changed. Next week I have a medical appointment with them…..will have to see what that brings 😏 they might say I’m fit for work…..nothing would surprise me any more.
    I had a lovely meet up with my friend. I think I made the right decision about work as it sounds horrendous atm. We had a laugh and put the world to rights and she treated me to dinner 👍
