The food shop sounds healthy and a bit of cake after all your walking is fine. I havent walked for weeks! Well done your friend. I think this bodes well for your plans for your house hurrah. It is dry here today and v sunny. Only two days till the weekend. Hurrah.

The wind seems to start up at bedtime.

Very jealous about your cake, that's a yummy one and indulgent with custard! Meals look tasty.

Didn't take long for more buyers, hopefully that's eased your fears about selling too.

Insurance money has arrived and it is more than I thought 🤗 bill was £528 and they knocked off £100 excess, £1 bloodbank donation & £16 admin fee charged by vet for filing the claim online. I will cover the rest with council tax money (in my budget this month but not due as paid over 10 months) until DS pays me back. 

I walked to the post office after work to send my sister a birthday card and spent £5 on chilli crisps £1, magnum ice creams £2 & box of heroes £2. 🤦‍♀️ Oh dear, not very healthy. 

Had pilchards on toast for breakfast, frying steak & veg stir fry for lunch & pasta bake for dinner with mince beef, mushroom & onion, couple handfuls of wholewheat pasta, tin tom soup, sprinkle of mixed herbs & cheese on top 😋 and enough left for a portion for the freezer. Still enough mince left for 2 x spag bol & 2-3 chilli which I will make tomorrow.

They sorted it out quickly.
Treats were earned because of walking 😃 and your meals sound delicious, may have to slip a tin of pilchards on the shopping list!

Hope the weather has settled and you have a productive, buy restful, weekend.

Walked the dog for an hour this morning then bumped into my friend (the one selling her house) & the other friend I sometimes meet up with to walk the dogs, so we all carried on together & had a socially distanced walk & chat for another hour. Lovely sunny morning but very blustery wind. 

Have had a big fry up for breakfast, it will be garlic chicken with onions peppers tinned sweetcorn & Moroccan cous cous for lunch. Dinner tonight will be beef mince/veg/bean chilli.

The new waste water bill has arrived.  £29.24 in April then £29.17 may to dec was £28.36 so less than £1 increase not too bad. New council tax bill not arrived yet.

Yikes to new bills I have had one water one and am wondering how much council tax will go up. I am grateful to live where I do though as we have been looked after v well during Coronavirus. It's brill that you walk every day i am getting quite plump as i have stopped. Yum to your fry up. Well done on insurance. It is windy here I hope you are resting and taking it easy.

They've not increased the CT up here, it may be a UK wide thing and it's worth a quick look on your council site.

Hope the wind has settled.

I fell asleep with the dog after walking yesterday. Woke up at lunch time when DS appeared & offered to buy me lunch (delivered) from a local tea shop for Mother’s Day.  Had a lovely lunch with DS & his gf, I had jacket potato with chilli & cheese and a large salad plus carrot cake 😋 I spent the rest of the day lounging on the sofa watching tv and snoozing 😴 

Thinking of my lovely mum today 😢

Virtual hugs Skinty, your mom will always be with you.

Lunch sounds great and shows appreciation.
