What small DFW things will you do w/c 17th August?

I ran out of onions twice over the last few days @ditty1234

Nice to 'see' you back DNMS, still allotmenting and sewing I see

Up early and went to an outdoor market / boot sale thing this morning. Walked dog first.

Just sat down with a coffee and a couple of the biscuits I made yesterday  

Washing machine on, though the weather isn't looking promising for drying...

Chutney jars to label and put away

Bit the bullet and ordered some new 1lb size jars with lids from Ama@on - I reuse all the jars that I get, of any sensible size and any I can scrounge from other people, and use them over and over till such time as they break, but I have been busy squirreling things away and am now down to my last few, and there is loads more preserving to be done. Luckily I had half of what they cost in vouchers from survey sites.

There is leftover tomato, pesto and goats cheese tart for lunch, and I will 'do something' with mince for dinner

The beans will want picking again, as will the raspberries

I must check for courgettes before they trun into marrows

And water the basil plants

Bit of housework

And that will do I think!

Hi

Sorry I’ve not posted again since the beginning of the week, am not sure where the week went.

I’ve had an ok week:

- got payslip ahead of month end payday so sorted out budget for September
- requested opticians voucher from work which will cover cost of eye test and possibly part of value of glasses if I need them. Appt on Tuesday
- won prize in SW raffle of 6 weeks free so saving of almost £30 😁
- had a very constructive Zoom call with a financial adviser who told me how much I could get mortgage-wise based on my current salary and outgoings. It’s a lot less than I’d like but it gives me something to work towards

Today my plans are:

- Zoom call with brothers and their families
- tidy up in kitchen and put dishwasher on
- go through recipe books that one of my brothers has lent me and decide what recipes I want to copy
- get chicken out and veg prepped to do slow-cooker curry tomorrow
