I got my sausage and will cook in oven with a tomato, on home made crusty in the morning 😋thanks for reminding me about sausage sandwiches!

Enjoy your sausage sandwich Tresinia. Crusty homemade bread sounds delish 😋 I have warbtons 400g no added sugar wholemeal (9g carb a slice) which I enjoy with real butter ☺️

I am out for brunch with my friend later this morning. Probably go to spoons for a fry up then potter round the shops. 

Aquafit tomorrow. Will just take it steady and get out if it’s too much. You can be as energetic, or not, as you want to be.

Lovely brunch out with my friend. 2 fry ups and 2 hot drinks £13.07 my turn to pay (from entertainment fund). Bnm £10.16 including sponges to wash windows inside, toothpaste £1, dustpan & brush £2.50, couple boxes paracetamol, batteries, no added sugar jelly, no sugar / zero carb maple syrup. I am going to try the maple syrup with a low carb microwave mug cake tomorrow, like a “treacle sponge” with cream. Maple syrup will be on top when turned out of the mug. Put £15 petrol in the car. 

Have had a 20 minute walk after dinner. My hba1c is booked for next week and appointment with the diabetes nurse the week after.

Went to aquafit this morning and the pool was warm ! Really enjoyed being back but was exhausted ☺️ 

Bought a hot roast chicken and had some for lunch with coleslaw and salad. Popped in to see DF who is feeling poorly. Think he may have what I had so I am keeping an eye on him. Then down to my friends for a cuppa. Now home and sat in the garden reading my book. Food shopping tomorrow and getting a few things for DF.

Thanks dia, Suze and Tresinia 😊 DF still feeling unwell but ok in himself. I got him some shopping & picked up a few things in mr T that I can’t get in aldee (hein z garlic sauce £3 alf ez apricot and coriander sauce £2.65). I also got a half price shoulder of lamb £9.50 and will cook a roast for me & df for Easter sunday. 

Also got my friend & her husband some chocs and mixer cans / bottle cider for easter gifts. She always thinks of everyone else and buys me little gifts. I have a card & cash for nieces little one. All from Xmas / birthday / gift pot. 

Then called into Aldee £28.01. Today I got 30% off strawberries and vine tomatoes. Somehow I managed to miss a few things off my list (bleach, butternut squash, tissues) but I can always get them on Friday after aquafit. 

Food this week will be butternut squash soup (leftover from last week), tuna & boiled egg salad, chicken and stir fry veg with ginger and soy, Moroccan lamb, chicken stew, Cajun chicken and roasted veg. (2 portions of chilli and 1 portion tandoori chicken & roasted veg in the freezer. 

I have taken the cubed lamb out of the freezer to go in the slow cooker tomorrow with courgette & peppers and the last leftover butternut squash with the jar of sauce.

It’s turned cloudy and cold this afternoon. I’ve put the heating on !
