Escape to the country & living off savings

MovingForwards

Scr3wF1x have tarps too, in different sizes. 

Good news on the goodwill and reduction, just a few days until DF is reconnected 🤞 

Please stop teasing us with a carvery, you know we're all desperate for one! Is it curry night for your evening out?

New cut sounds fantastic and perfect for warmer weather.

Thanks MF. Thu is curry night but neither of us had one 😆 DF had fish and chips & pint of lemonade and I didn’t want many carbs (rice, Nan, popadoms) so had steak and salad & pint max cola total cost £21.73 from my entertainment budget. 

It was ‘lish 😋

No aquafit tomorrow as pool is closed. I am taking a tshirt back for a refund then calling off for a cooked chicken on the way home & picking up meds from chemist. 

Niece is coming over in afternoon so I’m looking forward to baby cuddles 🥰

Tshirt returned for £5 refund. Was too early for cooked chicken so got ham and coleslaw instead & we had salad bits as well. Lovely baby cuddles 🥰 

Then walked to friends house & we had a cuppa & ice cream in the garden. Then I walked up the hill to the chemist as I forgot to call off in the car this morning. Very hot 🥵 Dropped off 2 books into community red phone box & picked up 5 more 😆 One series of 4 for me & one for sister. I have messaged her to see if she has this one in the series she is reading. If she has I will take it back next time. 

Gammon & cauli cheese for tea. Gammon already cooked in slow cooker. Will steam the cauli & freeze the leftovers. Cheese sauce will be grated cheese in single cream melted in the microwave so no need for a hot oven on.

I love your community library in the phone box. It makes me smile whenever you mention it.
Ice cream with a cup of tea in the garden. I love it!

Thanks dia. 😊 We have had some good books in ours too Doris. I put a few in that I brought with me when I moved and they have gone so I don’t mind taking a few. I will put them back when I have read them. 

Have been sat in the garden reading today, lovely and peaceful & birds singing but neighbours are now drilling etc so have come indoors. 

DF brought me some asparagus & rhubarb from his allotment. I had the asparagus for lunch with butter and stewed the rhubarb with some sweetner & had some with cream. 😋

Have really struggled with food today. All I seem to have done is eat 😕mostly low carb stuff but a lot of it. 

Went for a walk round the village at lunch time. It was very hot and first time I have applied sun cream this year. Then friend invited me round for half a cider in the garden 🍻 

Home and read my book. Ignored the ice cream van when he came down the street 😇 Then had indian food delivered, chicken shashlick (tikka chicken, onions and peppers and salad) and 2 popadoms £13.67

Lovely warm sunny day today. Washing hung out. Read my book. Now onto the 3rd of current series before starting new ones from community phone box. 

Went to see DF & went out for a drive to try and get him a part for his mower. They didn’t have what he needed so he’s going to look online. Got him to drop me off at the edge of the village and I walked back.

We have rain in South Wales and a drop in temperature.

Sorry to hear about your weather Doris. I think it’s on its way up to yorkshire as we have rain forecast tomorrow. 

I’ve tried to stick to 3 meals today instead of grazing all day. I just feel constantly hungry. Have tried less carbs & more protein. Have tried drinking more water but it doesn’t help. I am 3 weeks into my 3 month plan. 

Aquafit in the morning then down to my friends for a cuppa in the afternoon.
