    Morning all :)
    Work this afternoon, and my poorly tooth is playing up :(
    Never mind, I have pain killers, and have an appointment with the dentist on Thursday.
    Today I have / will:
    Dog walk (done)
    Hoovered stairs, loads of them!
    Wiped down paintwork on stairs
    Bit of dusting, but there is plenty more to do
    Kitchen clean up, dishwasher on
    All the above done o:)
    OH has gone to help DD2 with something on her allotment
    DD1 phoned, her younger DD has covid, and has been quite poorly :(  She couldn't have the vaccine as she isn't quite 12. Surely it would have made sense to vaccinate all secondary school children rather than miss out at least half of year 7?
    Not sure what my poorly tooth would like for lunch - possibly nothing. Maybe I will lose weight :D
    Dinner will be sausages and roasted veg. Not sure if I will be able to eat it, but OH will. Might make some soup.

    Afternoon all :)
    Went to bed at 7.30 last night, and slept for ages, so must have needed it. Feel a bit better today. I have / will:
    Dog walk
    Made leek and potato soup from ingredients I already had. Had some for lunch and there will be enough for tomorrow as well :) I normally put a bit of cream in this, but didn't have any this morning - and it was just as good made with just water and a veggie stock cube. Won't bother again - that will save a few pennies, and calories as well.
    Treated walking boots with dubbin
    Fridge check before shopping
    Shopping after lunch, mainly fresh stuff needed. Added a few tins and dry goods for the food bank trolley.
    I still need to make a mushroom flan to use up the rest of the giant 70p box of mushrooms I bought last week (I have the flan case already, made a couple of days ago and kept in a tin). That will do for dinner with some salad and a jacket potato.
    Also need to check the banks and update my spreadsheet.
