Caught up on a few household chores this morning, laundry needed to go on the heated airer but it didn’t take long to dry the small load I did.

Stilton and pear salad for lunch and for dinner I’m making a hotpot. I haven't had one for ages but it is warming comfort food at its best and a bonus of leftovers for tomorrow 

Brambling

Not a lot done today 😁 popped washed clothes to EF in hospital after lunch and gently suggested calling her neighbour at 5am on Sunday wasn't ideal although to be fair i don't think she knew it was Sunday!  I came home via my sister as she is borrowing my car tomorrow when hers has its battery replaced, they're fitting it in as somewhen during the day so she's dropping it off at 8am. She brought me home after a cuppa and instructions from me not to fiddle with auto settings (ie lights, windscreen wipers) 

lunch was beans on toast

I roasted a chicken thigh for dinner for a mini roast dinner with new potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, French beans and broccoli

@Brambling…..Somewhen….thats an Isle of Wight word, you’re not over here too are you?

@suzeesu2000 no I'm originally from Dorset, from older parents so occasionally some words from my childhood creep back in 🙂 as well as some pronunciations

Snowy sprinkle this morning, nowhere near as bad as others, but just a smattering is enough to cause havoc here, looks nice though in the sunshine & blue sky

I had a productive personal admin session yesterday, shuffled various savings and feel set for 2026.   

That's what i need to do, I've an ISA maturing soon and need to sort that out sharpish

I'm getting fed up with gammon now, so will try to hide some & and make a crust less quiche for today, one good use for AI, just asked Chat for easy recipe with what I've got, easy peasy apart from cooking it

Lunch, pinch Brambling beans on toast idea 

Dinner, the HM AI crust less ham & cheese quiche, with any LO lunchtime beans

Good morning everyone, 
We had a spell of hail/sleet yesterday just before dark fell which promptly froze and is still frozen! I've been given strict instructions not to venture out the back as it's like an ice rink, I'm perfectly happy to do as I'm told lol! 
Yesterday I made a pot of fridge gravel chicken and veg soup using up cooked chicken  drumsticks LO from lunch a few weeks ago and a shed load of veg. My planned lunchtime bowlful will contain most of my five a day and it's low calorie two - win win for me as it's back on the straight and narrow now the festivities are over! I had planned omelettes for tonight but might pinch Farway's idea and make crustless quiche instead. Either way we'll have it with AF chips and salad.

The restaurant was much better after the walk yesterday. I had winter veg soup with a roll and then mushroom wellington with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots veg and gravy. I did close to 40,000 steps over Saturday and Sunday!

My legs are feeling like lead today, although I did have to go out and get cash for the appointments this week. It is sunny, but cold again.

I am just having a bowl of grapes and a bowl of crisps as I didn't realise how late it was. I'm going to have some proper breakfast/lunch in a minute.

That roast dinner sounds delicious Wednesday and well done on the amount of steps you achieved, certainly putting this couch potato to shame. Once the snow clears a bit I’ll get out there too.

I used up some of the carrots and the sweet potatoes to make a soup for lunch and have the second portion of yesterday’s hotpot for dinner tonight.

Ooft, first day back at work after Christmas is always the longest day, was ready for a nap by late morning and hit the wall mid afternoon 😅

Avocado and scrambled eggs on toasted bagel for lunch. Posh breaded fish out of the freezer with the last of the LO new potatoes roasted plus the end of the tenderstem tonight.
