Flapjack made, ironing done, all clean washing has been put away, all is good this afternoon

Drawingaline

I made a meal plan this week for the first time in months! Feels good.

It's a habit I've never quite got into Drawingaline, but I am slowly easing myself into it and am finding it quite helpful, even just to stop me from staring blankly in the fridge then ordering a takeaway

Tonight we've got beef casserole, the beef was marked down, a bag of casserole prepared veg and some stock, all chucked in the oven and it's smelling lovely already

Ahh, saturday afternoon and time to chill.

Ds went to a party last night and had his first experience of being drunk :cool: I picked him up at 10 as arranged and he spent the next hour and a half with his head in a bucket. He then had a great nights sleep and woke up bright as a button this morning. I wasn't impressed but tbh I think I'm quite lucky that he's got to 15 without ever asking to go to a party before. Hoping he won't be in a hurry to repeat the experience

I've just been to Sainsburys to use my double up points as it finishes tomorrow. So I had £40 of nectar points, so that's £80 of double up. I spent it on Fifa 19 and Forza 4 and 2 new pillows, then having spent them they realised they don't have any Forzas left in stock. They couldn't refund it as it's a double up and won't have another delivery before the offer ends. So they ended up refunding it onto a giftcard and gave me another £5 for the trouble, so for my original £40 of points I've come away with 2 new pillows. a £35 gift card and Fifa 19 that I can stick on eBay for about £40ish :money: Happy with that lot

Now I need to go to Tescos to do the proper food shop so I can get clubcard points towards our next holiday

Today I woke up to the very sad news that Tigzem, a lovely lady who I 'met' on here years ago, and have met up with in real life several times, sadly passed away on Monday after a short battle with cancer. She was a lovely smiley lady with a beautiful daughter, a couple of years younger than my ds.

Yet another one taken far too soon, RIP Tigz, and thank you for the happy times xxx
