Nst october

Not feeling up to much today but was determined to get something done. Went to the shop for fruit (had the last two rather battered apples this morning) and milk (crustless quiches are on my list, lots of eggs to use up) and a few other things. Was feeling a bit wobbly and vulnerable so had a think about what would feel like a treat. searched for and found New-true- Gina hand cream.


I'm quite happy to use multi-purpose products but have finished off so many odds and ends that the shelf is looking quite bare. Love this hand cream especially in winter. You only use a tiny bit and it sort of waterproofs your hands so useful when it's chucking it down.


Think I have a cold/ sore throat. I was sneezing on Thursday (very violently, kept making myself jump and the effect on all my sore muscles was most peculiar). Think I'm denying it because they might not let me have the flu jab - would hate to have to go back after rolling several medical errands into one neat package.


Went downstairs and put all the expensive stuff in the smalll freezer (chops, mince, fish, ys cheese, cooking bacon and some sausage). What didn't fit went in the fridge or on top so if I lose anything it will only be veg or ys bread. Opened the door, turned off the freezer and put a waiting to be washed towel on the floor to catch any drips. It's nearly done (have had a poke round with a plastic picnic fork a couple of times) so will then wipe the drawers, put it back together, turn it on, fill the empty space with bottles of tap water and order food for later in the week (lots of cheap bulky stuff - all the veg for starters).


Did make an attempt at the oven. Really really not feeling up to it but I thought my lunch was burning the other day - it wasn't but think the build up of gunge on the bottom was. Emptied the water out of a large piece of plastic and folded it up in front of the oven. Went to get the cleaning stuff and the box was empty. So happy to leave it for now. Must be done soon.


I've moved the squasher (a largish piece of old furniture which fits inside the bin and squshes the mostly air filled rubbish) from the green bin to the rubbish bin and added the bits I collected yesterday to the green bin and brought my large bedcover back up. Earlier meals were more rice and curry sauce (with on chopped red pepper and a few butter beans from a tin) but tea was oxtail soup and tinned rice pudding.


Today I am grateful for good books, peace and quiet and taking it easy.
