Good evening,
I slept late this morning and my balance was decidedly awol when I did get up so a quick cuppa & a banana was grabbed before I headed back to bed again where I promptly fell asleep again until just after 1pm. Had a bowl of soup for lunch and then it was horizontal again. Consequently it's been a bit of a wasted day but I'm much steadier on my pins now thankfully (and showered and dressed) . There is a portion of soup left so that will do my lunch tomorrow. I've rice mix left from last night and a couple of frozen cooked bangers so that will be the basis of dinner with some veg and frozen toms to make a quick sauce:).

Hugs lovely sorry you are suffering. Try not to think of it as a wasted day but rather as a much needed restful and healing day It works for me when I have bad day with arthritis flare up and cant be asked to do a lot.

Phew, dinner scoffed, I really did not need to eat the stewed apples & yoghurt after, now fully stuffed for the evening

Thanks meg I'm used to it by now but still get frustrated. Still this time last year nearly every day was like that so I can't complain:)

I went for a walk round Sainsbobs, found myself in the doughnut aisle... bag of 5 acquired. Toddled home excitedly and scoffed two from a plastic picnic plate. A bit later on .... I scoffed another over the sink, while waiting for the kettle to boil, so I didn't have to clear up any sugar droppings

It's that time of year - consider it as stoking your internal central heating (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it....:rotfl:)

Caronc Hope you're feeling better:grouphug:

I really must drink a lot of tea, cos I buy 4 pints of milk, and only use it in drinks!!!:eek: apart from dgson has a glass of milk at the weekend, in my defence mlud, I do get
a visitor most days.

Really enjoyed my tea of chicken pie sliced potatoes and onions, cooked in stock, with broccoli.
I've taken out a salmon fillet and a portion of dauphinoise potato for tomorrow, that with broccoli and peas I think.

I haven't had doughnuts for years. I used to love Sainsburys jam doughnuts and used to buy those bags of 5. I can't decide whether I fancy chocolate fudge cake or a fresh cream chocolate gateux right now, not that it matters because I don't have either .

I'm going to make do with a crumpet instead .

had the perfect easy CFO tea tonight - none :rotfl:

I had a massive portion of dinner from the work canteen so wasn't hungry. I am thinking to start taking a container into work for occasions like this as ideally I should have brought some home for another meal. It depends who you get serving some of the staff are more generous than others.

Tip for doughnuts if they are getting past their best (if they last that long) pop in the microwave for a few seconds this revives them.

I am not over keen on them, wish I was as they are very reasonably priced.

Starting with a 69p pizza, I ended up with one costing me £1.30!

Ate it all... I'd cut it into six and after three thought "shall I stop now and put the rest in the fridge for later?" ... but then I thought "Just one more slice" - and then the final two looked so lonely I just ate them.

:rotfl: I always do this, really good intentions to eat half a pizza and save half for the next day, after 3 slices it tastes so good I have a 4th, then think 2 slices are not enough for a meal tomorrow so I finish them off
