 Knees hurt as usual, i'm only 26!!  

Could poss be your position when running. Try to drop your hips forward but keep your shoulders up (as if you were falling forward). Any try to hit the ground with the middle of your foot, not your heel or toe. Otherwise it could be a case of either warming up more before running or strengthening your leg muscles.
HTH!

or get your gait measured and get trainers that support your style of running. Also knee supports can help

Due to the current lockdown not a lot is open but I will once it's open I've found some supports today actually 😊

I cancelled 2 charity lottery DDs = £20 saved a month. 

Haggled my RAC cover from £22.50 to £10 =£12.50 saved.

£390 a year saved.

Clf just spotted the word lasagne. DS 1 made shepherds pie last night, that was great and now I crave lasagne. What happened to salads!
Will do a hiit before doing my job, teaching from my bedroom, and later when I am done with work I will go downstairs to the bar and maybe have a late afternoon G&T! If the bar is open - I will just have to wait and see. 

Our lasagnes are still quite healthy - they come in at about 600 cals per portion I think. I make bolognase sauce in bulk but I use lentils too which helps cut the fat content. We then use portions of it in the lasagne. OH also put a layer of pumpkin in it which helps up the veg content

Ooh do you have the sauce recipe?! I love making lasagne and would love to try and make the sauce myself!

I usually just make a white bechamel sauce :-)

Hi guys hurrah it's the weekend! slept in till 8.30 - bliss! Woke up to snow! Madam and oh out playing snowball fight, I am not!

Not sure what is on the agenda for today - catch up on hw not done during the week, play games, watch some educational videos/a film, go over to the farm shop and pick up some bits, read, do some sewing

dinner will be fajitas I didn't make yesterday (when I realised I didn't have enough veg to make veggie fajita fillings!) Have just put some pinto beans in pc for refried beans mmmmmm

No doubt we will allow madam to go on roadblox for longer than we would ordinarily due to her current isolation

Ok think I will start tidying up. Never ending story atm!

Afternoon all

Another dark, gloomy, rainy day here, but at least it isn't snowing as it is in some parts of the country. Not much on my list today. I have sold a substantial item on FB marketplace which was collected earlier. More space in my cupboard, and £50 in my wallet, so all good. I rarely sell on FB, and am not keen on the idea of doorstep pick ups atm, but made an exception as this was quite a big, no longer used household item that would have been a pain to pack for ebay. Speaking of which, I have several ebay items ending today, too, but these are only little things.

I have a load of washing on the line, hopefully not getting rained on, and another load in the machine.

I have listed a couple more items on ebay - all the ebay stuff (though not the FB item) is business stuff, bought to sell on, as the shop where I normally sell is closed currently. At least I am able to continue to sell a few things.

Finished up some fridge bits for lunch

Dinner will be chilli, jacket potatoes and coleslaw

I need to write a sympathy card to a former neighbour whose husband has sadly died   

Not the most uplifting day, but we are warm, fed and healthy, and at least I haven't had to spend any money today!

Right this morning I wriote the most ambitious of to dolists:

• Journal (4 pages every morning) done
• 60 min writing meditation(weekly) done
• Mark student work oops not done
• Call 3 family members texted with one, and talked to a friend
• Make lasagne - nope will be a vege and bean pasta sauce
• write personal statement for new masters - will try now
• book poetry reading tickets - done
• sort out some chr gifts gone astray
• Run 5 m - went for 4m walk
• Draw something from the garden/colour(a sculpture trail idea, a surprise in the garden, get ideas for new photos, mirrors hidden mud? (WHY)?
• Do some reading - will do later
• plan a retreat day - am tryin gto come up with ideas where I feel in an other space for a day, not easy under lockdown. Might just rearrange living room for a day!

Anyways so did a few things, only spent money on poetry tickets, prize is no wine this weekend,  which will help my weight. The walk and the not marking is me feeling sick of sitting by a screen all week. Now I feel better and a bit hungry, time to cook, hang some laundry and start notes for personal statement for marking tomorrow. Tonight is Bridgerton - hilarious period spoof. I never got on with Downton Abbey.

Morning all

It is a nice day! Sunny, not raining, not icy - a chilly wind, but it is January after all. Dog walk done, nice to see bulbs starting to appear. Put some washing out, then spent an hour in the garden tidying up. I cut back some lavenders and herbs that had somehow been missed, pulled out a few weeds and swept up the fallen leaves, while OH swept the yard, which was messy mainly because of fire wood chopping. Much better now, though will be better still when my sales unit can reopen and I can sell the assorted large pots / garden ornaments that I accumulate for sale.

Came back in to find OH cleaning the hall. Coffee time now!

Other plans:

Stew in SC for dinner Smells good!  Asked OH to open one of the big catering tins of tomatoes that I bought at the start of lockdown when the only delivery I could get was a wholesaler (advised to shield due to health condition). Used some in the stew, and froze the rest in small tubs. The tin is quite a good size and attractive, so I got OH to smooth the sharp edges where it had been opened, and drill some holes in bottom. It will make a nice pot for herbs   I have 2 more of these, and they will look nice with parsley and basil in!

Middle floor needs cleaning again Done

I have a few things ending on ebay - might list one or two more Didn't get round to listing any, but fetched some things in from the garage to be cleaned up ready.

Write and post sympathy card for former neighbour whose husband has died - keep putting this off for some reason   I've written it and put it out to post tomorrow - too cold outside now, brrr!

No plans for spending - we are hopefully replacing the small conservatory at the back of our house fairly soon, and money needs to go towards that rather than shopping!

Hope everyone has a good day
