Nice slippers! They look very cosy.

I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Well I was hoping for another sunny day today but it's decidedly cloudy here. I have done some washing and pegged it out because it's not actually raining and I'm hoping it will still dry.
I haven't got any house stuff to do today, I did hoover yesterday because it was getting on my nerves. I've taken B for a short walk round the block but I did have to stop a couple of times because I was out of breath, I do have to walk uphill for a bit so that doesn't help. I also woke up a few times last night because of night sweats which I'm presuming is a menopause symptom come back to bother me, they had stopped but seem to have come back which is very annoying
I was supposed to be making leek croustade today but forgot to buy nuts so I will have to make it tomorrow instead 🙄I'm going to make Honey and mustard chicken instead to have with carrots, swede and Brussel sprouts 😍😍
Im also going to make some ginger biscuits after I've had my lunch 😊Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944 -
Oooh OBL, I love making biscuits. They are one of my favourite things to bake.

I made my biscuits and they came out really nicely, the ginger goes out of date this month so I want to use it up,I couldn't taste it in the mix but I can taste it in the cooked biscuit, they look a bit like Farley's rusks but don't taste like them 😀
I was very naughty though and didn't make the Honey and mustard chicken because I just didn't fancy it, I had a chip butty instead which was lovely 😀 I feel like I'm losing my appetite today 🙄I had better not be coming down with something else, I can't take anymore and I'm going back to work on Saturday
This evening I took B for our favourite walk which was nice and relaxing
This is going out 😊
This is coming back 😊

Looks lovely and rather autumnal with the leaves. I hope you’re not getting what I had with the lost appetite, nausea and stomach cramps because it was dreadful 😩 It followed a few days of cold symptoms.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I've noticed the leaves starting to change colour and drop this week so autumn is definitely on its way 😊
