for fabulously frugal food
Went to U3A book group yesterday. I sort of enjoyed the book we read, but it was a bit of a ghost story and I’m not too keen on those. I did, however, buy a new science fantasy book in Waterstones when we were in Newcastle and am enjoying it hugely. It’s a new author...
We’re back from our break today and back to the real world.
Away for a few days, at Rushton Hall in Northampton, then further north to Newcastle
It was a beautiful sunny day this morning, so Mike and I went off to the coast for a walk. We parked up at the swimming pool end of the Eastbourne front and walked all the way to the other end. If you don’t know Eastbourne, that’s a flipping long way, several miles!...
chapatti Had a lovely play in the kitchen yesterday. Made some chapatti using some Approved Food flour - do you remember those huge, massive, giant bags I got ages ago? Yes, I'm still using them. Chapatti made with chapatti flour rather than wholemeal flour do taste...
fascinating Having dropped off a decluttered bag of items in what is my favourite charity shop, I was having a little look around and spotted this wedding hat. My niece has invited us to her wedding at the end of April, so I thought it would be lovely for that. Don't...
Did my weekly weigh in and measure this morning. I did say to my coach that I wouldn't weigh, but I feel out on a limb if I don't know what that number is. It helps to keep me on track, even if it does throw my mood sometimes too. hang the bunting out! This morning I...
Yesterday, the Money Advice Service challenged us to work out what the best deals were from a selection of typical examples. I’m not bad at mental arithmetic, but I needed to resort to my calculator several times to get the price per 100g, or for each egg. If the...
low carb soup Still on my quest for nice things to eat on this high fat, now even more low carb, diet my coach has put me on, I thought I'd do some soup. I love soup and have it often. It suddenly occurred to me today that if I didn't put in my usual scoop of red...
weigh in report Well, another Monday, another weigh in and measure. I stayed the same weight, but I have lost half an inch off both my waist and hips, so very pleased about that 🙂 My favourite trousers are so baggy now, I'm going to have to take them in. Good problem...
Didn’t go to the gym this evening. Didn’t go yesterday either! Yesterday I went down to Bexhill and spent most of the day with my daughter, which was lovely. Got back in time to go to the gym, but had to do other things. So thought I’d go tomorrow (which is today)....
I seem to have abandoned you over the last week. No Shrove Tuesday pancakes and no Valentines suggestions either. There are lots of suggestions from last year and the year before for lovely Valentine day things. I hope you did whatever you wanted on Sunday, and if you...
