The sea bass was really tasty. I think it’s part of the new Autumn menu.

Well done on your 1lb loss @bubbs that sets you up nicely for your time away 🙌

Morning all

I’m still surviving! Finding it hard being back at work, so exhausting. Not helped by being the only dog walker! Son has been signed off for a while now so given him some space, when he’s back at work he will have to pull his weight or i will go under 🥺. All dialysis equipment has been removed now so can get on with decorating (when I have the energy). So much to do in and out of the house. Garden is overgrown with what I call Mile A Minute weed (don’t know it’s correct name) so need help with that plus all the rubbish collecting as well as 2 reclining chairs. plus hubby’s car still sits there! I just don’t have the motivation 🥺.

Finally registered his death last Wednesday, 3 months after the fact! Glad it’s done & I feel I can grieve now!

I am not eating healthy (rubbish really) but weight is stable probably due to walking/biking to work plus the dog. Still I’m glad I’m only pounds above target not stones 🫪.

Got the jeggings on after wearing shorts for so long, feels weird! Never mind back to shorts next week as the weather warms up again!

Sax is enjoying daycare though!
Have a good weekend all 🤗

just had message from day care, another dog has confirmed viral cough! Sax sounds like he is trying to clear his throat so looks like he has it too. Kennel cough vaccine wasn’t worth it then 😤. Good job son is still off this week 😬

Afternoon all 😁

TIE, 1 step at a time, it is so hard sorting everything out, apart from DS is there anyone that can help? We helped my sister alot when she lost her DH (been 10 yrs now 😱) and then Mum with Dad although still an awful lot to sort out of Dad's and it's been 3 yrs 😢

I have had a good session this morning, bed done and on line, well not the actual bed 🤣 there was already a dark load i put in yesterday afternoon waiting to go out , so that's been out and in.

Made some pate, some soup, veg done for pork roast, baked apple and mincemeat ready for pudding, made dh a crumble.

someone at group made this, looks lush

Good to see you posting @TakeItEazy . Don't be too hard on yourself, just baby steps. I think you've done well to keep your weight in check , perhaps you could start on some healthier meals to keep your strength up and to help you feel you are in control of something. Maybe you could start by planning how you want to decorate, it's quite motivating and relaxing looking at images online of how you'd like your room to be. Hope Sax's cough clears up soon.🤗

You've been busy @bubbs , reminded me of the days when you'd make up work lunches at the weekend. Well done on your pound off yesterday. 👍🏼

Some people make a rice pudding on the hob or in the SC so it turns out like tinned rice pudding. That's far too sloppy for me. I like it the way you do it. I need to buy in some pudding rice.

That salmon and noodle dish looks yummy. The nice thing about using noodles is that the sauce coats the noodles instead of soaking in like it does with rice.

It's a glorious day here, 20 degrees and sunny and due to get warmer through the week. I've got a line of washing out and it's almost dry even though it didn't go out until almost 12 o'clock.

Today's been a bit 'eggy' but I really enjoyed my omelette at lunchtime, first one for a while.

Today's plan-
B- eggs and baked beans on toast (P,F, fibre), milk for drinks (calcium1)
L- Spanish omelette and salad (P,S,F, calcium2)
D- pork casserole with rice (P,S,F)
Swips- 4? in casserole sauce, weekend wine😁

I think you’ve done remarkably well TIE. Be kind to yourself and just do whatever needs doing at your own pace. There are no rules for when things need sorting.
I’ve had a few eating rubbish days. I seem to have done an awful lot of cleaning since we moved. I don’t miss my old house but definitely miss the people. So one day in particular I hit the chocolate and crisps. I have stayed the same though so all the body magic cleaning mattresses that were covered in mud by the removal company must have used a fair few calories. I was shattered afterwards and my arm was letting me know I’d done too much but it’s done now. The machine we hired was good though and carpets along with other soft furnishings have been given a facelift.
We went exploring Faversham one afternoon as Dh was trying to find a place where a ukelele band practice. It must have been an old advert as we didn’t have any luck. One day we headed into Canterbury on the bus and jumped on the first bus going out so spent the afternoon in Dover - a place we’d never visited before, We just made breakfast in spoons before they finished, has a mooch around the museum, walk to the seafront and headed back on the bus for a picky tea including salad, ham, cheese and slither of quiche.

Dd and family have been around for brunch this morning- the first time I’ve cooked for a few of us in the new place. I had bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, omelette with courgette, spring onion and potato in and a heb bread roll. It was lovely and what the move was all about. We had a quick walk to the seafront and front and back before they headed home.

Milann, i am sure you will soon enough make new friends and can facetime etc old friends, won;t be long and they will be coming down for the weekend 😂

Glad you enjoyed this morning with the family .

@TakeItEazy good to see you posting. I’m sorry pup has a cough but good that DS can take care of him this week. Don’t worry about doing too much all at once - it’ll all get done eventually xx

@milann i am only 5 miles from Faversham. Not sure of the ukelele place though 🤔

@maman lovely day here too and set for the week I think whoop!

@bubbs lovely food as always x

I went to yoga this morning and had a banana in the car then scrambled eggs and ryvita crisp breads for brunch. Late lunch of FB SW Mo’s lasagne and big salad. Doubt I’ll have anything else tonight as DH is going out.
