My Champagne moments are acknowledging after a lot of willpower over so many weeks, I have completely cut chocolate, sweets, cakes, biscuits and crisps out of my diet. |I am determined to lose weight safely and slowly. 

I am making much healthier choices for my lunches and dinners each day,

No need to feel any shame LL    I used to indulge myself with Tesco Finest sultana scones, but alas I have had to stop buying them as I am determined to lose weight and get my body to be a lot healthier than it currently is.

i have had some problems too, only ever with the MSE website though.  Everything else is fine so I think it's just this site.

Well hello my lovely friends.  

The countdown to my voluntary lockdown begins.....I am working through my to do list to get ready. Aiming for Saturday.  

Went shopping today. Champagne moments, picking up some more plants, just cheapies from Aldi. £1.69 each.  You can't go wrong at those prices.   Two little fruit bushes, raspberry and black currant and a lavataria.  

Popped in the Chazzer and picked up 6 books, they do 3 for £ and a shades of blue patterned velvet skirt, Midi length and quite heavy so nice and Cosy over leggings or woolly tights.  Being velvet is actually quite glam.  And only £2. Some some great bargains this Mornjng.  

Managed to book a hair cut for Thursday so at least I'll start lockdown looking well groomed. 😂

SUgarbaby......last time I regained over a stone during lockdown.  This time I'm determined not to fall into the same trap.  In fact I want to lose the weight I've gained.  So today I very studiously avoided anything naughty.  😂.  No chocolate, biscuits, cakes.......just healthy stuff.  I'm counting on my virtual friends to help me stay on. the straight and narrow and give me a kick up the derrière if I falter.

Under the circumstances your voluntary 'lockdown' seems to make sense, LL! I do wish your DIL all the best for the birth, although having had a botched caesarian with DS (breach birth) I don't envy her. The 36 hour labour followed by that put me off ever having another baby. Mine was an emergency caesar though, the epidural had been topped up so many times and ended up not working (I could feel everything - it felt as though they were doing the washing up in my stomach  ) so I had to have a general. It was hideous. My back has never fully recovered either. An elective caesar will of course be so much better and I don't mean to worry you or her  Wish I'd been offered that at the outset......

Here in Wales, the wearing of masks in shops only became compulsory yesterday and although I've made some masks from vintage fabrics I don't plan on going into many shops from now on! We've stocked up on decorating/building materials and afaik we have everything we need for fitting the new bathroom, having purchased the sanitary ware over two years ago. Actually, the loo was bought back in 2015 for our last house where we decided not to fit it. It's a fabulous vintage 1990s gothic style high level loo that's no longer in production. We fitted the same model at our Wiltshire house and managed to find another one, brand spanking for a very good price on fleabay (I suppose I shouldn't add that it then cost £200+ for our courier to bring it over from Ireland!). You wouldn't believe how excited I am about this toilet, lol!

Of course there's bound to be something we run short of - and plaster is definitely likely to be an issue - but hopefully we've enough to keep us busy till Christmas at least 

It's been showery here today and a little cooler. I've been painting a ceiling (pink!!!) but just popped outside with the dogs and took a few pics. The heleniums that only cost a couple of £££ each are still going strong and the hydrangea Little Lime is now a lovely autumnal shade. One of my favourite DA roses (Fighting Temeraire) is one of many still blooming away, although in reality it's much more apricot in colour.....

I meant to say, the salads and the scones both look delish.... although I've never particularly liked cream so don't have to worry about that aspect, lol!
