Riding the wave

Keep_Buggering_On

A quiet weekend at home, well we can’t currently afford anything else! Despite that, it was a very enjoyable weekend. I started a model kit I wanted to make and spent some happy hours cutting and gluing bits of cardboard together. I really enjoy this as its relaxing and I can do it in the living room whilst my wife games so we can have a good conversation whilst also doing things that we both enjoy! I popped into the village on Saturday and spent a grand total of £2.50- 50p on a toy car in the charity shop which is the right scale for my model railway (compared to £10 each for the same thing in the model shop!), two packs of potato bread in the chuck out for 50p each and four packs of Malteesers reindeers down to 25p each for a sweet treat- me and OH shared a packet with a cuppa and they were yummy!

I managed to get a mammoth baking session done yesterday- a homemade steak pie, buns, jam tarts and home made hob-knobs, plus I found a bag of rhubarb lurking at the back of the freezer from last year so me and the kids had home made rhubarb crumble and custard after tea last night (OH is very disappointed that she can’t eat rhubarb so had to miss out). OH gets her UC through on Wednesday, so we are just trying to hold on until then! Lunch today was a (tasty) combination of things found in the fridge and the back of the freezer. DS had to have a jam sandwich instead of his usual biscuits for his supper last night- I thought I would get winging, but apparently jam sandwiches are awesome and he was very happy with the substitution! Wednesday will be a shop to refill the cupboards- we definitely won’t starve, but we are out of a few things so having to do some substitutions until we can restock! Compared to both my parents and my grandparents generations though, we really have nothing to complain about!
