Progress not Perfection

I'm also a nose hawk/very suggestible for food, Mr PIP is well aware of what we're going to be eating soon as soon as I sniff, turn around to the vague direction of scent, and declare with a glare 'someone is eating (insert anything here) and it isn't me'

Onions....

TThough last night a takeaway came to the house by mistake so now I want Indian food

…salt and vinegar wafting from a chippy is my Achilles heel.

@PennysIntoPounds your nosehawk comment made me chuckle 😂.

Nose Hawk - perfect term for it!

the last few weekends someone in our street has been having bacon butties for breakfast. I mean how very DARE they?!

Afternoon all. That's the worst two days of the working week done.

Isn't it funny what sets our tastebuds off. I love the smell of fish and chips even though I don't eat them although it doesn't set me off wanting them.

I was rudely awoken by the old cat making retching noises at 3.30 so had to investigate. Fortunately only a tiny bit of sick to clear up. Got back into bed well aware the alarm was due to go off at 4.30, started nodding off, the noticed a huge spider crawling up the duvet cover towards me! That got me back out of bed straight away 😆I'm not scared of spiders but wouldn't want one crawling on me.

Walked to work this morning, stayed in the office until lunchtime then caught the bus home as I had a short window of opportunity between meetings. I nipped in MnS and picked up a free coffee and walnut cake that had appeared in my Sp@rks deals. Also picked up a jar of chickpeas, lentils and butter beans for 55p each. I thought I could utilise the jars afterwards to store other things.

Mr SA had a pre-endoscopy call with the nurse ready for his appointment on 12 August. I ended up having to speak to her as she couldn't understand what he was saying and he was struggling to understand what he was being told.

Today's exercise has been walking to work and despite getting the bus home I've still clocked up 17,421 steps. I also have a live resistance bands class at 6.15.

Tonight's dinner is a portion of the miso aubergine that turns into another recipe, can't remember the name of it but it goes into a wrap with some roast cabbage and avocado. Still got a couple more things to make from the meal plan I started using last week but I've had some really tasty and different meals so far.

Forgot to say quite often I think I've seen someone in the street I haven't seen for ages and it turns out it's not them then later that same day I see the actual person. This morning it happened again. I thought I saw a bloke who used to live on our road. I haven't seen him for ages because he moved away from the area. It wasn't him the first time just someone with similar, very distinctive, hair but not long after that I saw him for real. How strange is that.

Morning all, happy hump day.

WFH today.

Unfortunately Mr SA was up to his old tricks again last night and discovered one of the places where I hide his beer. I noticed an empty can of the 'special lager' reserved for the weekend in the kitchen recycling bin. I hadn't given him this can so realised he must've discovered where they were kept. I confronted him and he denied it of course. Then less than 5 minutes later I was cooking in the kitchen when I spied him going upstairs. I didn't hear the bathroom door close so I quietly went upstairs and caught him red-handed helping himself to another 'special' beer. Despite the fact he'd put it in his pocked he still denied it 😡 I took it off him along with the few remaining cans which are at the moment inside the shredder! It's beyond annoying as he was doing well with his cutting back until now. No doubt he'll find the ordinary beer hiding place next as it seems all he does when I'm in the office is search the house for beer. I can't tell you how 🤬frustrating this is. I'm so disappointed in him, it's like I can't leave him in the house alone. DD said the minute I go to have a shower/bath or leave the room for any reason she can hear him shuffling round the house looking in cupboards. He has no remorse for any of this and denies everything.

Anyway…

Tried to do a relaxing live yoga session first thing but struggled to concentrate thanks to Mr SA's antics. Further exercise will be dog walking shortly and Zumba tonight.

DD is at work so I'm going to take a longer lunch break and give the kitchen and bathroom a good clean.

Not decided on tonight's dinner yet, to be honest I'm finding it hard to think straight because I'm so angry.

Mid week finance check done and cc balance cleared.

Mr M delivery arrived earlier and the milk was leaking a bit so he took it off the total. I didn't want to return it as we are almost out of it so I've put a bag round the bottom and when the current carton is empty will transfer it over.

Oh, how utterly infuriating of him. It sounds as though he quite enjoys 'naughty' behaviour as a means of filling his time. It wouldn't be quite as bad if you were not the person then having to tackle unpleasant extra cleaning after 'excess beer accidents'. I honestly don't know what the answer is as you must be running out of hiding places 😬

Utterly infuriating. Would it be possible to say 'once this is gone there's no more till next month' (or whenever)?

beanielou

I just would not buy anymore. So cheesed off for you. If he had to go into care there would be no beer!!
