Impressed by both the crochet and the inclusion of photos on the post, clf! Thanks for the online exercise tips too folk!
Feeling a bit back on track today:- Baked scones with DD for snacks, entertainment and general feel-good factor today as she was keen on a duvet day
- She got up so late we only had one meal today (beyond scones!). Used up LOTS of veg in different ways, including some bits that were nigh on past it. All pretty healthy except the 3 roast potatoes! Enough left for at least one meal this week, plus cooked Jacket Spuds at the same time for a easy meal sometime. Have a much tidier fridge now!
- Also used up some gone over fruit in a crumble, stretched out with a pack of porridge oats. Mango, kiwi, a few berries, a eating apple. Was scrummy.
- No entertainment costs, still working our way through a box set I gave her for birthday in the autumn.
- Registered for expenses for this past week. £102. Can see I have over £500 coming in next pay packet as ones put in at the start of Jan didn't come through yet. Aiming straight to the cc.
- Didn't do any work at all today. First weekend properly off in feels like forever.
- Made inroads in sorting a few things out which needed DDs input.
- Reviewed A1rb+B price tips, reduced prices for this coming week. Just dealing with a resulting enquiry now. Balancing the hassle factor with a desire to get some bookings through. Also balancing fact need heating on if guests are here. Its more straightforward to work out what it 'costs' me (hassle,food,washing) in warmer months!

Home delivery of food. 71.12. Now we'll over Jan target.
On a brighter note at 5.30 I wandered out to lambing shed to find 2 enormous twin lambs that the mum had safely delivered into the wTer trough. Oh dear. Both alive , which is s miracle really. Now dried, suckled and having s nap. Poor babies. Another 2 minutes and it would've too late. Another ewe is just getting going now.
Have fun all.
