Colourful

Thursday's lunch... Little gem leaves with tuna (canned in springwater) mixed with Spring onion and lighter than light mayo, some cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and cucumber. Light, fresh and tasty.

Today I had mushroom soup ( Marks and Spencer, 65p a can, I can recommend it), and 2 rice cakes followed by a clementine.

I made a Quorn shepherd's pie and a fish pie yesterday, so it will be one of those for tea, unless I can't stomach the thought of it, in which case I'll have apple, yoghurt and muesli (it never disappoints and is one of my safe meals).

I've also baked this week... lemon curd cake that's a hit with all the family.

It's been a quiet-ish week. Two days of childcare, 2 visits to my mum (on Wednesday I collected her meds from the pharmacy, dropped them off, read her meters, logged the readings online, did her shopping, unpacked it for her, stayed for a visit, and today I took my grandchild to see her and paid her bills).

I also had my mammogram, took myself off for a solo, peaceful coffee one day, did some shopping and called in at the dentist.  I had a phone call on Wednesday afternoon from them saying that my check up in June 2025 was showing as unpaid for. I knew I'd paid so I took in my bank statement to prove it. If I'd paid cash that wouldn't have been possible as I'd have shredded the receipt by now. Cash isn't always the best method of payment!

When I shopped for my mum in Asda they had nice bras reduced to £3 and £3.50, so I spent a bit of time trying some on and settled on 3. They cost less than the price of one at full price. I also bought myself 2 new long sleeved tops in Sainsbury's.  Both were reduced from £10 to £3, and will be handy for our trip away. 

I'm set up with clothes for a long time now... I have them in 3 sizes!
