You are doing really well.  Sorry about the Covid outbreak at your school.

Had a whole chicken from food group last week and a massive pack of chicken drumsticks so this week's menu is this;
Sunday- Roast chicken dinner
Monday- (leftover) Chicken soup and crusty bread
Tuesday- Beef Taco 
Wednesday- Homemade pizza
Thursday- Fried chicken fakeaway 
Friday- Bami goreng (Indonisian veg dish)

Also found this great and tasty Peaches and custard crumble that I made last weekend- a really good using up tins recipe.

Drain 2 cans of tinned peaches and then tip the peaches into the bottom of a baking dish. 
Empty 1 tin of custard evenly over the peaches
Mix together
 3/4 cup brown sugar
 3/4 cup plain flour
 3/4 cup porridge oats
50g butter
 1tsp ground ginger.

Spread out over the peach/custard mix. 
Sprinkle some cinnamon over the top. 
Bake at 180 degrees for 25 mins. 

Really good- I wouldn't have thought of putting the custard inside the crumble. We had it with ice cream and went down well with everyone.

Last day of self isolation! I'm a person who is entirely happy in their own company but I've really missed being able to go out and about and being able to pop to places or go to the beach. And I've really missed work. 

Making fried chicken for a fakeaway dinner tonight. Currently it's sat on drip tray after first fry. I do need to clean the oven this afternoon as well but mustering up the will at the moment.

Congrats on getting through isolation! I bet it's been tough especially with the weather so poor that you can't even really sit in the garden.

So been busy on eBay and with auctions finishing this morning and then tomorrow I look to have made £55 outright profit with roughly half the things sold.

Wow that's great! I just put a few things up but only for pennies. It really adds up though!

It's been the kids coats and my really nice but now too big clothes/coat that have made the most money. I had a lot listed at £0.99 which sold at that but I've had three items go for more than £10. 
Weirdly I've listed my daughter's tap and ballet shoes and leotard and there is no interest at all (been relisted twice now) When I was trying to buy those in the first place there were people sniping stuff left, right and centre.

Also 9 more days until my gas/electric switch is complete. I am looking forward to knowing the price is fixed at a decent rate for 2 years. 
Still not turned the heating on at all- currently wearing 3 layers! I'm seeing if I can get to Nov 1st without it on at all. I'm looking forward to being in my nice warm classroom again on Monday!

Could you sell them on local groups, or even through the dance school? I did tap as a child and I remember we used to get all my bits purchased from the older girls.
