    I had such nice classes yesterday. I have my wonderful cleaner here at the moment. I don't know why I dithered so much about that.

    I have had sourdough toast and Flora so far today. It feels cold now as I had the windows open so I put the heating on.

    Good morning everyone,

    Cold, wet and blowing a hooley here. Winter has return with feeling! Woke up this morning with a swollen lip and a huge cold sore, my lips are chapped after having the cold and I missed the warning tingles so hoping the cream still helps it go away.

    Need to catch up on a stack of voluntary admin and various chores so once I finish my cuppa will get cracking. Eggs with LO veg & lentils for lunch. JO's sweet and sour pork with rice and veg for dinner.

    Very cold and windy here too but the sun is shining at the moment.

    I had a pub lunch yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed what was a huge portion of steak pie and chips so I only needed a slice of toast and a piece of fruit later on.

    Back down to earth today with soup from the freezer for lunch and tonight I’ll have pesto crusted salmon with roast vegetables.

    Wet & windy evening, but cold & sunny this morning

    Took the opportunity to go to Morries, just a YS mooch + cheese. Finished up with a nice cauliflower and some on offer leeks. I foresee cheese sauce on the horizon

    Had hoped for maybe Easter offer on salmon, but none found, lamb & pork, but not what I wanted.

    Morries have given up tempting me with £6 off £60 spend, they found I'm a cheapskate, so new offer is £3 off £30 😁

    I hope to complete my Asda delivery shop for next week, offer of £3 in my bin if I order before 1/4 and delivery is after 2/4. Mine would be anyway, but may as well make sure

    Still have LO chicken, but not really fancying it so may do "chicken something" in pressure cooker and freeze it for another day

    Lunch, cheese salad sarnie

    Dinner, TBD, plenty of salad bits plus LO apple crumble
