Yeah, but so much less laundry!! I am enjoying the washing line, and I think the dryer has only been on once this week.And as for that snow flurry just after 9am today, what was all that about? 2 minutes of madness.So, I have masses of yoghurt in the fridge that needs eating. Suddenly nobody is eating it. About 5 litres of it. All flavours. So that needs to go asap. I have nothing to layer it up with, that might be the problem.Lunch was fridge bottom soup, and it was gorgeous - 10 veg in there (sad looking veg). Supper is a veg chinese - I found asparagus and aubergines and baby corn and mangetout in the fridge, so that will all go tonight with mushrooms and carrots. Massive veg hit today. Thanks to the £1.50 Liddle vegbox on ThursdayI am volunteering in the morning, so will try and nip to the supermarket on the way home. I am only leaving the house on Mondays and Thursdays - scarf over face. Nobody else is leaving my house. I am trying to do a once a week shop, but with all these 2 item / 3 item / 4 item restrictions, and empty shelves, it is not easy, but I get out of my car, cover face, use handsan, do the shop, put the stuff in the boot, use hand san, get home - wash hands and face, unpack, wash hands.It is not easy to meal plan, so we are being creative - dh made flatbreads yesterday with s/r flour and yoghurt. He has made seitan, He is also trying to make a sourdough culture - we are on day 3 and it smells like yeast so I would say it was working. The lengths we go to.... There are empty places in the pantry and I could not tell you for money what used to be there. I have masses of tins of chickpeas and kidney beans, tomatoes and passata. If the death rate continues to rise quite this steadily, I will be shopping tomorrow and possibly leave it at that for 10 days.DS4 is currently half way through Thursday's work. By the end of today he should be ready for Monday.As long as we ignore the art.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

f0xh0les I hope the art doesn't call for used toilet roll centres...they're in scarce supply atm due to rations!
I tried the 'must get dressed like normal office' routine, tbh I fell off that band wagon long ago - it doesn't really matter what I'm wearing if I'm working.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Art is LS Lowry, what they don't get down here in Le'Shire, is that having spent 10 yrs in Salford, each and every one of my kids could probably write a 3000 word essay on how much they hate the song 'matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs' and that they started on Lowry-style imitations in yr 1. They have been to see the original, plus his portrait work, in many exhibitions, and this is not novelty, it is torture.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

They hate it all so much it is not given house room. Each time is reinventing the wheel. Oh well, at least they know what is expected.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

The silver lining, he should be able to complete his art very quickly and then get on with something less torturous.Fashion on a ration 2024 66/66 coupons remaining

Oh Calamity! DS3 (12 years old) is now up to my chin-height. He was shoulder-height at Xmas. I fear it is going to be totally new school everything by the time he goes back. I am going to be surrounded by giants. The older 2 find it too funny for words to be taller than me. At this rate I would predict by Xmas I will be 2nd shortest.Today I have done erm... pretty much precisely nothing. Had a lie in, so got up just before 7, had lovely, lovely coffee, waited for all and sundry to get up and go through the bathroom, had a long lovely bath, did all the banking business, had lunch - lots of raw salad and a pitta - then had volunteering cancelled on me with an hour to go. So watched 'how to' type tutorials on UToob and kept quiet as DH had a conference meeting thing at 2 til gone 3.30. Ridiculous amount of time to have to keep quiet and out of the way. So unless I get some motivation or inspiration or something then today was a wasted day.Finished one book last night, hooray!! Going to get on and try and get rid of another one today/tonight. I am going to have a ridiculously full boot by the end of this, filled with things to leave my house.Supper is Spannakopita (with tinned spinach leaf), I have still lost no weight for 2 weeks. DH is now 4lbs less than me, and I am still eating less than any of them - plenty of raw veg though.Managed to get to the supermarket last night after the f/b, £10 in Mr A's £30 in Mr T's.Should do us until the weekend easily - lots of ys watercress, salad, cukes, the kids have loads of snacks and nice things, so they will not complain. Right, off to get something ready to go in the oven.At some point my ridiculous body is going to realise that this is all it has for fuel, so it has to start burning up the energy stored in my hump. Actually, I think I can see my stomach is getting smaller. Or maybe I am just looking at it for once. Who knows?4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!
