3 LBLUK plans, £5, 5 days, what would you make with these groceries?
Katherine asked me yesterday how the latest LBLUK plan compared calorie wise with the others. The answer, not very well. It worked out to only 1500 calories a day, so not enough. I've had a bit of a tweak and managed to up the calories. Govt. recommendations...
Antibiotics, websites and another LBLUK list
Aren’t antibiotics wonderful! I have had 5 tablets so far and I’m feeling so much better. I’m hoping for a decent nights sleep tonight. In bed, not sitting up in a chair. In fact , I think I shall go and lay down in bed and read some of my latest book and see if I can...
An update
Went to a U3A committee meeting this morning and hacked away all the way through, goodness only knows what they thought. And one of them is an ex-GP! After that I went off to an appointment at my own GP. He had a listen to my wheezy, bubbly, chest and announced that I...
Sequins, off-cuts and an alternative LBLUK list
Had to go to Tunbridge Wells today, first time I’ve been out of the house in 2 weeks. I walked up the road to a locksmith, all of 5 minutes away. I went really, really slowly and it was still a bit much for me.
What did you last spend £1 on?
LBLUK15 is coming up fast now. It is due to run 27th April to 1st May, although it can be done before that if I wanted to. I have been thinking about what I might buy with the £5 and this is what I am currently thinking of.

Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite
Are you feeling stressed today, will you have trouble sleeping tonight? I am sensitive to caffeine in tea, coffee, cola etc, and the caffeine and theobromine in chocolate. If I have any, not only am I very likely to get a migraine, but it will probably keep me awake...
Spicy katjan sauce, so gorgeous I’m eating it with a spoon
Went to the third Cooking Around The World class last night. We made Beef Rendang, a spicy Indonesian beef and coconut curry, and Gado Gado, a layered vegetable salad with Katjan sauce, which is a spicy peanut sauce. We’re having the Rendang with some rice this...
Sorting through the bling
I sorted through my costume jewellery yesterday to see if I could sieve some out, there seemed to be too many. These three are my favourite necklaces. I wear them again and again and again. The blue glass one I got at a craft fair. The seller spends her winters in...
