    Afternoon all

    DH finally got a bed at 9ish last night, i think he might be down now for angiogram as i sent a message 45 mins ago and he has not answered. I did see him quickly this morning when i took some bits up for him (he came out the ward)as i was too tired to drive back last night, wasn't safe. Can't visit on this ward till 5 as it's a high dependency ward so they are strict .

    I did have a shower and then go bed, but couldn't sleep think i was over tired and my head was whizzing. Finally fell asleep about midnight i think, i woke up at 6.30 but lay there for a while , must have nodded off then was 7.40 so i got up.

    I had more of a tea for lunch , trying to get back on track as ate a whole packet of custard creams over the course of the day 🤣 but not any custard cream M&S custard creams 🤣🤣

    Cheesy garlic mushrooms on jacket potato and salad then i had some watermelon

    Poor DH and poor you @bubbs don’t blame you eating those biccies x

    I’ve been out with DSis today. She was working in Sevenoaks so I went along for the ride. We have yoga tonight too. I’m keeping out of the kitchen as DH and DS2 are cooking.

    Aww @bubbs big hugs! Hope DH is on the mend and gets medication sorted quickly. Look after yourself too and I’m sure the custard creams won’t do any damange with the amount of rushing around you’re doing.

    Hope your DDad is OK too @Coxy11 I know he lives abroad which adds to it all. Take care x

    I’ve spent the day thinking about changing my car 🙈 I’ve seen one I like so will give it until Monday to overthink it completely 🤣 and if it’s still there will organise a test drive.

    Food has been on plan - except for the lemon curd bun I had with a coffee when a friend popped in and is likely to be a week’s worth of syns!

    At least they were not just any old custard creams @bubbs .🤣 Hope you sleep better tonight and DH gets sorted very soon. 🤞

    Football is a complete mess but hasn't driven me to custard creams or anything else... yet! 🤬

    We're out for lunch tomorrow so hope to be able to choose wisely. 🤞

    Today's plan -

    B toast (fibre), milk (calcium), eggs, bacon (P), baked beans (F)

    L- LO hash and pickles (P, S, F)

    D chicken jambalaya (P, S, F)

    Swips - none planned
