Get a grip !

If you're not feeling the elephant love return it and go for a meal instead.
You were all wrapped up and it sounded cosy, just what was needed today as it was a tad fresh!

Ordered a top up shop from
co op as we are almost out of milk and dishwasher tablets. Also got yoghurt & nibbles on offer, total £16.23 includes delivery. Must be more organised. Just so tired after work I don’t feel up to going shopping at 4pm. DS’s gf got in from work and walked the dog this evening before it got dark. I’ve been snoozing on the sofa since dinner but still feel tired so now off to sleep 💤

Good morning. ☀️ Another sunny bright day but it’s so cold 🥶 you can see your breath. 

Was very glad of my thermal insoles from pound land in my wellies as the field had frost/ice on. Had to bang the ice off my boots when we got back on the path!

Got running around playing football on the field with the dog so soon warmed up. Then she found a tennis ball & carried it all the way home 🐶 Thankfully she doesn’t pinch them off other dogs, but we do have a collection of abandoned ones she has found in the long grass or the bushes. Saves us a small fortune not buying them 😆

Just putting slow cooker on. Curried parsnip soup - 2 carrots, 2 parsnips, half a red onion, stock & a little curry powder, salt & pepper. Will blitz in blender once veg is soft & freeze remaining portions. Tasted lovely last time I made it in a pan, first attempt in slow cooker.

Weather and work is what I put tiredness down to.
Dogs have a homing beacon for finding homeless balls. 
Soup sounds great, just what's needed now it's getting colder.

Have sorted the dog & had a cup of tea and hoping to snooze a bit more.  

Had a long dog walk after work yesterday with DS’s gf then a portion of Parsnip soup which was lovely, had it with a toasted muffin with a little grated cheese melted on it. Another portion of soup for lunch today. Next time I will double the quantity and should have 4 portions. 

Chicken fillets taken out of the freezer to defrost. Later I will make chicken, mushrooms broccoli and onions with creamy garlic soft cheese sauce & pasta. Should be at least 4 portions.

Fantastic food and the walk sounds great.
Hope you got more rest this morning.

Managed to snooze then headed out to the field with the dog this morning, then realised I had forgotten her ball 🙄 So we had a walk round the pond and nature reserve instead. Cold & frosty but bright and sunny. 

Have just had fakeaway mc d sausage and egg mc muffin with cheesy hash browns 😋 Feel ready to take on the day!

Went to the range after work, it’s only 10 mins drive down the road & returned the elephant for a refund £12.99

Have made 4 portions of the chicken pasta dish. I steamed all the broccoli & used half in the pasta dish & will freeze the rest once it’s cooled. 

Had a text from george to say my jeans are ready to collect so I will have to pop & try them on in store to save having to bring them home & back again if they don’t fit.

Thought PD would find a lost one and claim it!
Making me envious with the food, may have to treat myself to a McD after I leave.
Hope the jeans fit.

MF she gets so excited going on the field to play with her ball that I couldn’t take her on there on the off chance she might find a ball. 

With the amount of food I’ve been eating lately I will be surprised if the jeans do fit! They are my normal size and didn’t have any other sizes left in the sale so fingers crossed. It’s says collect by Thu 11 Nov and that’s when my next late shift is, so I could go before work instead of after when I’m knackered. Do you think if it says collect by thu 11 that means I can collect on Thu 11th ? 

The heating has been on the last few evenings. Once I still feel cold despite a jumper plus zip up fleece cardi and a throw it goes on 😆 I don’t have a thermostat, but my timer has 15 minute slots. So it comes on for 15 mins at 3.30, 5pm & 8pm. That’s enough to warm the whole house and keep it warm all evening at the moment. 3.30pm is after finishing work when I emerge from the living room and feel the cold.
