    Strangely enough we had beans on toast for dinner last night @foxgloves, with a couple of sausages each grilled and added on top.

    I'm gradually weaning MrBC back on to more healthy food choices.  Some tomato and rocket in our lunchtime baguettes followed by a satsuma.  Little steps 🤷‍♀️

    Happy New Year!  Good luck with the goals :) 

    Hope the decluttering goes well.  As you know I do a LOT of moaning about the 'stuff' in my house on my diary 🙄.  Keeping track of what leaves is so useful as it helps me realise that I have achieved something rather than making no progress!

    Thanks @jwil

    I am so tired today, I didn't fall asleep until 4:30am and I was awake again at 9am. 

    Today's items removed are 
    10 -  double duvet cover
    11 - pillowcase
    12 - microwave wheatbag rabbit
    13 - megaphone that best friend bought me when I had my knee op, for calling the HT if needed 🙄 (why, just why?)
    14 - black cardigan
    15 - man's belt (too small for the HT
    16 - Time Lord  (Dr Who) magnetic photo frame

    all in charity shop bag

    17 - cat ornament

    The cat ornament went in the bin as it has some vital letters missing that make it no longer a thing. 

    Today was supposed to be a no spend day but the HT had his university disabilty assessment which took an hour over the phone (the lady was lovely and very thorough) and best friend is still poorly so when I was out getting throat lozenges, nice to your nose tissues and menthol sweets for one I bought some doughnuts for the other. You can probably work out which is which. We have fought so long and so hard for the HT's diagnosis that it was a lovely change to have the person on the phone ask the HT if he was having problems with the exact things he finds hard. When he was finished he said that it made such a difference just to be believed. 

    MSE bit - lunch was more cheese and crackers and the last of the salami, dinner was entirely out of the freezer (braising steak, mash and veg).
    I have joined the "no more buying craft stuff" thread on the craft forum. I have a lot of yarn to get through before I need to buy more and a fair bit of it isn't my fault. 

    Take care all of you 😊




  • Great that HT's assessment went well, that feeling of being believed is astonishing. When I had my PiP assessment I was so relieved to be taken seriously but also so sad that it was so different from my normal lived experience for decades. Hopefully they'll be able to include help for him lugging his laptop back and forth
