    There is going to be further talk of jam roly poly I’m afraid folks as I still haven’t made it, so on the list it will go for today 😂

    I’ve been up early again and enjoyed browsing a food website where I’m having a small delivery later in the week. They have lots of other yummy produce on offer and it’s the first time since lockdown that they are able to deliver lots of the products so I thought I’d take a look. Please to say only 1 item was added to my basket that was very reasonably priced and will be added to the meal plan. Saw lots of other lovely things and previous spends me may have added more, but it was very satisfying thinking I could make that instead for less etc... And I wasn’t tempted. Was nice to window shop for a bit though. 

    Also signed up to 2 months free of read1y.com its got loads of magazines on it and back issues to read online. Made a note in diary of when free period ends. Hopefully of use to someone. 

    Anyway, today’s list:
    make jam roly poly
    smalls to have music lesson via face time
    juice some beetroot
    talk to DH about holiday that has been cancelled, they have given us the option to rebook or refund.
    process whatever the outcome of ^^ is online 
    reconcile just for points CC, pleased that everyday spending has got us to £25 of vouchers so far
    look at mays budget and see if it can/needs to be tweaked 
    make a cake/biscuits of some description with smalls. 
    Stewed fruit for breakfast, will freeze half the batch I made yesterday 
    Water seedlings 
    water fruit trees if we don’t get any rain that’s forecast
    knit or sew or crochet for relaxation later 

    have a good day all. Purps.

    Morning all :)
    Been awake since about 2.45 am, gave up and got up just before 5. Not sure why, as I have been sleeping quite well lately. Anyway, it is pouring with rain and the dog has informed me he is not going out in it :D Just had my porridge, a bit earlier than usual, as I was hungry. It is obviously not going to be a gardening day, so today's plans look like this:
    Sort fridge out. I will do some batch cooking to use up some bits. Got chicken breasts and mince out of the freezer in readiness. I think I will make a ragu and a chicken bhuna. And something with leftover pastry. Trouble is, small packages come out of the freezer, then I need to find space for large tubs of cooked meals. Advanced tetris skills needed I think! :D 
    Some cleaning / sorting / putting away, not sure exactly what yet, but there is plenty to choose from!
    And I might sort out the accounts for my poor little abandoned business, as I will need to do a tax return at some point. This might be a step too far given lack of sleep, but if it is on the list it will get done, even if it isn't today.
    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    Thank you @PurpleFairy26 for starting this weeks thread : o:)

    Yesterday I did the weeks shopping, no more plans to use the car in April. We also started a claim for the cost of holiday accommodation, we are not expecting this to be successful if it is not, we will put in a charge back claim on the credit card, feel good to have taken some action, not having a plan was making me unsettled.

    Today has been damp and cool and the last couple of hours its rained. The living room felt uncomfortably cool so we have lit the fire and it is now toasty. 

    Today I have:
    :heart: checked bank accounts
    :heart: recorded yesterday's  spends (nothing else planned for the week)
    :heart: made a loaf of bread
    :heart: made a batch of porridge
    :heart: updated freezer inventory 
    :heart: filed the paperwork that came in today's post, this is a biggy normally it sits on the side for weeks 
    :heart: Pmp etc
    :heart: Correctly delivered survey
    :heart: Put the kettles on the stove for free hot water
    :heart: enjoyed reading my book
