Get a grip !

Skint_yet_Again

Just back from walking the dog and breakfast is cooking nom! It’s grey skies & heavy showers, we just got back as it started to rain. The dog is now snoring in her chair 😆 after charging around the field with her ball. It’s still very warm in the house so the patio doors are open. 

The new clothes have arrived and I will try them on later after a shower & hair wash. I usually buy clothes once a year and usually from Asda online. I like the quality and fit for the price. Most of the tops were £6 each and are for “everyday” wear at home or work. I rarely splash out on going out clothes as I rarely “go out” these days 😆 Usually if I do go out it’s for a cheap lunch with friends. I miss being able to do that but won’t be rushing back to pubs & cafes once they reopen.

I have found my prescription and ordered 2 pairs of sunglasses discount of £96 !!! Total cost £22 🤗

I am quite excited as I haven’t had prescription sunglasses before. Last time I wore sunglasses was when I had contact lenses at least 10 years ago. 😎

I am envious of how animals can go from awake to sleep in a split second.

I'm not sure many of us will be rushing to go to busy places, when they open.

Your clothes sound fantastic and I'm pleased you found your prescription to order your sunglasses, it will make such a difference.

Hurrah for new sunglasses. I wish I'd had a recent sight test to take part in the offer. 

Skint_yet_Again

SW my sight test was August 2019. Your prescription has to be less than 2 years old. The offer ends Monday 11.59pm and the code is in the MSE email. 

The rain has stopped but it’s very blustery. I’ve been out in the garden chopping back some of the shrubs. I will do some more tomorrow & cut the grass if it stays dry.

It’s sunny this morning but very windy. I have weighed myself and I am still 11st 3. I would like to be under 11st but can’t seem to motivate myself. At least I haven’t put any weight on!

Plans for today 
b - bacon sarni
l - Soup
d- Chicken Balti & rice. I will make enough for 2 meals & freeze one.

I cooked the belly pork last night. 4 long slices cut into thin pieces (about 2-3cm), tossed in chinese 5 spice and cooked for about 30 mins until crispy. £2.79 for 4 meals. I had one portion with half a pack of microwave rice and stir fry veg with soy sauce & ginger. The other 3 have gone into the freezer. 

Will walk the dog around 9am. Later I will do some more gardening - chop back shrubs, cut grass & pour boiling water on patio weeds (when the dog is safely indoors.)

It was too windy here too. Well done on gardening and I hope your foot is better.

Not many of us can motivate ourselves with weightloss at the moment 😁
Pork belly and five spice is great. 

Hope your walk was revitalising and the weeds have learned their lesson!

savingwannabe

When you have would you ask your weeds to speak to my weeds about their behaviour? 

Skint_yet_Again

My weeds are very unruly SW 😆 boiling water, salt & boiling water or weedkiller if needed. In the dog area we get lots of dandelions which the dog eats so we only use boiling water on them.  

Walked the dog this morning in the rain which was actually rather nice. No one else around (or daft enough to go out in the rain !) so the dog had a lovely time charging around the field after her ball. 

Payday today. Yay! Shopping was delivered £40.83 with free delivery. Gammon was out of stock 2 for £2.00. They offered me 2 different ones for £3.50 and I declined but they put them in anyway. So 2 free gammon steaks 🤗

Have some beef, onions & carrots in the slow cooker. May be stew or beef curry tonight I haven’t decided which yet. Also ordered a yummy rhubarb crumble & some custard so I am looking forward to that later 😊
