Today is so wet and cold again that we were undecided what to do with the day. G has worked all over the weekend but I've not ventured far and felt a bit stir-crazy this morning.
On Saturday I set to and defrosted the kitchen freezer, completed the chores after which back pain set in due to all the bending and stretching I had done 😟 I took some painkillers and lay on the bed for half an hour reading. Once they had kicked in I sat at the kitchen table and made a few more cards for the Hospice shop. On Sunday morning my back felt a bit better, although still painful, but I managed the ironing which I couldn't face tackling on Saturday. Tick ✅👍
G realised this morning that he was very low on diesel so I went with him just for the ride to Morrisons to top up. They were completely sold out 😨 Luckily, the Esso station just down the road had some fuel left (although there was a bit of a queue and it was 1.2p per litre more expensive) We now have half a tank of fuel which should last a couple of weeks as G is not at work next weekend.
G offered to treat us to lunch at Wetherspoons in the village and we were pleasantly surprised to find a portion of cod, chips and peas at just £3.99. My small glass of wine (Pinot Grigio) cost £1.45 The food was piping hot and the cod was beautifully white and tasty. We will definitely do it again sometime....
We normally do the food shopping each Wednesday but we have plenty of food in stock at the moment so will buy fresh stuff as we need it over the coming week rather than do a big shop. Tonight we will just have cheese on toast as we are both pretty stuffed.
Today I am grateful for:
Being able to buy diesel
Being lucky enough to have a hot meal not cooked by me
Spring is on it's way!
Thanks so much for popping in and please be safe wherever in the world you happen to be x
April Food Budget: £41.10/£200.00
