What are you making for dinner?

PN Poor you x next visit to shops, treat yourself to a tub of yummy Icecream (as opposed to grim mint chip), purely for medicinal purposes, you need to sooth your throat in these temperatures x

Poor you PN, it makes it worse when all you want to do is get under the covers, but it is too hot to. Can you get honey and lemon ice cream?

Another dog walk tonight, home and made actifry oven chips, specially selected ones from Lidl. It was like eating roast potatoes. We had these with the Lidl specially selected 6 in a box cod fillet fish fingers. They were ok, but a lot of coating. Don't think I will buy them again.

Not as nice as my Friday night favourite of double fried egg and actifry skinny fries.

DH is off on a stag do later, so I have an evening alone, is it bad that I have been looking forward to it? I intend to read my new book (in interrupted) have a mushroom omelette and a glass of wine and relax, till DH comes Home all wibbly - he rarely goes out 'with the lads' and has been working so hard, deserves a night out.

Birthday bbq at DD's house tonight so I'm making a trifle - first time I've bought jelly in years and I was horrified how most of the jelly sold now is ready made in little plastic pots, we are such a wasteful society

Today, still heavy with cold/sore throat, I've grazed my way through:

Breakfast: sausages, scrambled eggs, beans and spicy bubble/squeak (should've been hash browns, but didn't have any, so grabbed B&S instead)

6-8 cocktail sausages, picked randomly from the fridge in passing, 1-2 at a time.

A cheese/salad cream & crisp sandwich; then the rest of the crisps.

Two egg custard tarts, about 2 hours apart.

3-4 sweeties

I think that's it... worra piggy wiggy.

They say feed a cold and starve a fever PN so you're just being a sensible girl!

Hope you're feeling better soon PN I always think summer colds are worse than winter ones when the air is hot and stuffy already the last thing you need is your head to be the same.

I do the same thing with cocktail sausages in the fridge too

JIL fab idea about the honey and lemon ice cream, if they don't make it, they should.

Well I have spent all day paying for one too many drinkies last night honestly even my teeth hurt with the headache, I didn't even drink that much by my standards (well not enough to induce such a horrific hangover) but that will teach me...until next time

consequently today has been spent malingering in bed doing nothing of what I had planned. In my defence, it's been the first time in a long time I've been able to do that and we're now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel to a rather stressful building episode that has been going on over a year (got stung by a builder who wasn't up to the job last year and now have a lovely landscaping company in fixing it all) so perhaps it was just my body needing a rest.

Anyway, OH has treated us to an Indian takeaway which should be due imminently...it is both breakfast, lunch and dinner for me

That's my "defence"

I'm sure many people eat as much as that in a day ... BETWEEN meals... so I don't actually feel "guilty".

I cannot be food-shamed as I'm too dense to take in what anybody trying to do so would be posting at me
