Morning all

Thanks for starting the thread CLF

@1LuckyLady that is some impressive weight loss! OH and I have made a decent start. I really need to get rid of the lockdown flab and drop a dress size.

Not sure where the time is going! I was up late (for me) at almost 7.30, and have only just got back from walking the dog.

Today I need to:

Sort out kitchen / empty dishwasher/ put stuff away

Triage fridge - my brother brought round loads of cooked meat products from his staff shop at work (they had over produced, were having a clear out and selling stuff for literally pennies to get rid of it). DS popped in last night and left with a large piece of ham, but there is more to sort out / freeze. What with garden stuff, my freezer is bursting, so I probably need to sort that out too. Just as well I am good at tetris

Water garden pots

Pick anything that is ready

Cut and wash some lettuce

Sort out some paperwork for OH

Sort out some stuff to take to my sales unit tomorrow, when I will be in the shop working all day again

Meal plan - this has slipped again, and it makes life so much easier, and prevents me overspending on food. It is very rare for me to waste any, but it ends up being stuffed in the freezer!

Ought to do some 'proper' housework as well

Today I have/will:

1.  Checked online banking

2.  Meals from stores

3.  Surveys/PMP

4.  Fed my cat/fresh water and then fed local stray who is honesly the best fed cat in the south Wales valleys:)  He has so many people in the village feeding him and we have a local facebook group so people are trying to find out if he has owner.

5.  Washing stray cats blanket at the moment and then will hopefully line dry (he sleeps in my greenhouse)

6.  Update spreadsheet

7.  Set budget for next week

8.  Set meal plan for next week

9.  Coursework

Other then that its just an afternoon of pottering around tidying as I go I think!

Evening all

Working today, so limited home stuff accomplished. But I have:

Walked dog first thing, and after work when OH and I went to vote. The local Police and Crime Commissioner (I think that is what they are called) election for this county is having to be rerun at considerable cost to local tax payers, because the winner of the original election turned out to have had convictions that disqualified him

Load of washing dried on the line before it poured with rain

OH did some housework while I was at work

The rain watered the garden which saved me another job. The tomato plants really aren't liking this weather though - I notice signs of blight   They have been poor this year in any case because the compost I planted them in was contaminated (quite common this year according to Google, because of manufacturers having to use less peat, and some substituting council green waste contaminated with weedkiller). So no tomato sauce for the freezer this year, though there are enough tomatoes to eat in salads etc.

Made a frittata for dinner with some slightly out of date eggs, and various fridge shrapnel. There will be enough for lunch tomorrow as well.
