Denise, i meant to say try Dunelm for your table

joedenise

We've found one on Amazon and ordered it. Will try it in the motorhome to see if it fits OK, if not it can go back! If it's no good will definitely give Dunelm a try, thanks @bubbs.

Morning all, it was very misty this morning at the front of the bungalow but blue skies out the back! Was misty all the way to the GP surgery where my friend, DH and I had our flu jabs; DH also had the Covid jab as he's 75 which is the age at which you can have it. This will be first year that I haven't had it but will get it again next year as I'll be 75 then - unless they change the criteria again!

I've been busy with the washing as well this morning - done a whites wash which I got out on the line before we went to get our flu jabs; 3 loads of bedding - I have hung the pillow cases out on the line and will dry the sheets and duvet covers in the tumble dryer this afternoon during the 2 Free hours electricity.

DD2 and her OH are coming for lunch so was offered burger or fajitas. As her OH is coming they opted for burger - if she was coming on her own it would have been fajitas! So we had the fajitas yesterday. There were enough LOs so have frozen them and will take with us to the IOW to have one day - not sure whether we'll have them in wraps or whether I'll add them to pasta with sweet chilli sauce to make a main meal rather than a lunch.

I also made enough lamb & chickpea tagine in the SC to have last night and 4 portions frozen. Currently have BBQ pulled pork in there. I'm sure there will be quite a few portions to be added to the freezer later too. It'll be good to have plenty of HM ready meals in the freezer to use over the month with having to take DH backwards and forwards to the eye hospital!

Today's plan:

B - fry up - sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes (fresh not tinned)
L - burger, onions, gherkin slices, WM roll
D - pulled pork, AF wedges, corn on the cob

Fibre - WM roll
Calcium - milk
Swips - sausage 1; burger 0.5; tsp butter 2

Have a good day everyone.

You must let us know what those sausages that you won taste like @bubbs . Being gluten free, they won't have cereal fillers. How many swips each are they?🤔

It was misty here first thing too @joedenise but it soon cleared and now it's sunny and a warm 20 degrees.😎

I really can't stand tinned tomatoes with a cooked breakfast, far too wet and sloppy for me. It sounds like you've got plenty of ready meals in the freezer. They're a godsend. Are you self catering when you go to the island?

You probably missed the crowds when you went to Sainsbury's early @Coxy11 . I popped out to Aldi and Asda (more or less next door to each other) and they were both heaving.

I'm going to see Paddington the musical on Thursday with DD1. DH is hosting a meeting while I'm not here so I needed to get some biscuits (hope he doesn't eat them beforehand!🤣) and a macaroni cheese ready meal for him as he enjoys that as a treat when he's on his own for dinner.

Todays plan-
B- toast, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes (fibre, P,S), milk (calcium)
L- JP with tuna and salad (F,P,S)
D- beef in 'red wine' (P,S), potatoes (F), cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots (S)
Swips- cornflour 1, LTL mayo 1, weekend wine☺️

Afternoon all 😁😁

Bloody glorious warm day here again, it better be like this next weekend!!

Coxy people have be turning their nose up at raffle prizes some weeks, but it's like i said those 2 things cost £6.70 odd, sometimes we don't take £6 in the raffle! I'd rather have something like that , than tat i am not going to use, even better for me as she gives us 2 strips for social team 👏

I tastes a slice of the sausage at taster and it was nice, they are 1/2 swip each, but consultant said they are supposed to be available, Tesco and Waitrose but she couldn't get any, so she ordered loads from Ocado , they are not cheap, think it was £3.79 when i looked something like that.

I love tin tomatoes with a fry up and pepper on, i rarely have pepper on food but do them.

Oooo Paddington , hope you enjoy it

Denise, fingers crossed the table is ok 🤞

DH has cancer bloods Tuesday so 🙏🙏 then we have hair appointment, i have MRI when we come back and MOT, def need 🙏 for MOT 😂

Lunch i had half fibre

Tea roast chicken , veg , yorkies half fibre and 3 sv gravy.

bubbs

Dinner was only 1/4 fibre so made doughnuts for pudding 1/4 fibre 😋😋

Wow @bubbs , that Yorkshire is amazing!! 🤣

Morning all, looks to be another nice day, which is better than forecast! Forecast was for cloudy this morning, sunny this afternoon but the sun is already shining. Catching up with the final load of washing which I'll hang out as soon as the machine finishes. I've also got some bedding to hang out which didn't quite dry yesterday so just needs finishing off.

Really enjoyed the pulled pork yesterday and will use some of the LOs with jackets for lunch today. I've also frozen enough for another lunch which will probably be had in WM rolls with some salad.

So today's plan:

B - Weetabix, milk, fruit
L - jacket potato, pulled pork, salad
D - chilli, rice

Calcium - milk
Fibre - weetabix
Swips - none planned

Have a good day everyone.

Hola 👋 got home around 4am, did two loads of washing and house looks like a laundry because of course, it’s raining here 🙈

My disappearing waist and waaay too tight jeans means I’ve put a fair whack on! It was 30 degrees most days with a couple at 33. Tan is very much shorts and tops so very patchy as it was too hot to lie out. I did walk a lot but ate loads of things I’d never normally eat - baguettes, croissants, chips anyone - and of course wine and cocktails on top!

Despite sending DS2 a shopping list 🤣 half the veg is missing and no yoghurt so I’ll nip to a supermarket later. See you’re back too @joedenise hope you had a fab time. Hope the rest of you are doing well, I’m going to grab (another) coffee and catch up.
