Morning Everyone!

I'm so sorry I didn't update last night but Friday, well I don't know what happened to Friday!!!

We had the Queeens Birthdays Celebrations at School and wow it was fantastic but also hectic! My class made cakes, crowns, bunting, cards and portraits! In the afternoon we had our Tea Party which was lovely, sooooooo much food! 5 tables worth just for our class in fact!!!

After work I tidied up the Classroom, popped to Wilko for Oreo's Stuff and then to Asda for our Food Shopping, packed that all away and then we had a lovely chilled Friday night with a takeaway and tv! Poppy stayed up a little later and then I did all the washing and went to bed myself, felt so chilled and relaxed!

Yesterday's Food (!!!)

B-Crumpet, Egg, Beans, Tomatoes



L-Usual Sandwich, Popcorn, Babybel Light, Petit Filous, Salad, Fruit



Tea Party-Considering there were 5 Tables of food I think I did quite well to 'only' have an Aldi Cheese and Onion Roll, a packet of Monster Munch Flaming Hot, a small Jam & Coconut Cake and 2 Choco Leibniz Milk Biscuits

Dinner-Vegetabke Kebab (Didn't eat the Pizza Bread), Salad and Cheesy Chips (Shared the chips with Poppy)





So yesterday was definitely a bit of a treat day but I don't think I went over the top and I ended the day on 18.680 Steps so a good amount of exercise!

Have a good Saturday everyone!

Lots of Love Serena x

Good Evening Everyone!!!

So today didn't quite go to plan!

I've got a few problems with HMRC so I've been frantically printing/photocopying/posting trying to sort it out, spent £21.05 in total and it cost me my day! Gggrrrrr!

Whilst walking home I did pop into New Look and spent the rest of my voucher on a pair of sandals, mine are last years and they don't look like they will last much longer!

Today's Food (Not a lot here)

B-30g Nestle Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crisp, 85g Total 0% Yogurt, Blueberries, Kiwi, Melon, Pineapple, Strawberry



L-Ate in town so it was a Jacket Potato with Cheese (No Butter), Blob of Coleslaw & Salad



D-Saturday Naughty Treat of a Morrisons Fresh Cream & Strawberry Jam Muffin (My most favourite shop bought cake!)



Not a lot of food today but quite calorific and exactly what I've fancied!!!!

Hope everyone's had a great Saturday,

Lots of Love Serena x

Yes it was Tax Credits, I've now sent them I think 134 pages of documentation so hopefully that will be an end to the hassle! It's hard when I work full time and the weekend is the only time to sort it out, doesn't seem very fair! Is your insurance all sorted now? X

Good Evening Everyone!

So today has been a super busy/productive Sunday!

I spent the morning sorting/shredding/recycling/filing paperwork, once I started I really got into the flow of it and had it all done and dusted by lunchtime! Had our cooked lunch at home, got ready and then went out! Made 2 birthday deliveries as both my best friends have a birthday today! Then I delivered 8 bags to the Charity Shop, didn't get round to it last week so it feels good that it's now gone, have just saved the school uniform/plimsolls to take into school for those who need them. Then We went to a local hotel to visit friends who are visiting from Bristol, was so lovely to see them, I miss them dearly so was good to catch up. Then it was home to do the tea, packed lunches, ironing and baths!

Today's Food (Not a lot here again!)

B-30g Nestle Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crisp, 85g Total 0% Yogurt, Blueberries, Kiwi, Melon, Pineapple, Strawberry




L-Sort of Sunday Roast consisting of Quorn Steak, 100g Iceland Cheesy Potato Swirls, AB Yorkshire Pudding, AB Stuffing Ball, Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn, Vegetable Gravy & Mint Sauce



D-Sunday Naughty Treat of a Morrisons Fresh Cream & Strawberry Jam Muffin



So it's back to work tomorrow, this weekend seems to have flown by! It will be an extremely busy week so I think there will be lots more food than during the weekend!!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Lots of Love Serena x

I just need to try and put this whole fiasco out of my mind as I know they will probably use every single one of those 15 days, that's just what they are like!!!! Although I feel like this weekend hasn't been very restful I am pleased with all that I've got done, it's been mega productive! Excited for the week ahead too x

 

[Cas3]

It least it's out of the way - sometimes you need those kind of weekends to get things sorted - got anything planned for next weekend?

Hope you had a good a Monday xx

Good Evening Everyone!

Today has been another good work day, the Year 3 Trip was FAB, it was a Country Estate and there were various workshops throughout the day, I learnt so much too!

I do however feel that I've hit the destruct button a bit with my food/health this week, just felt so tired and yes I'll admit I've been lazy. Work has just taken over and I've just had to focus on that rather than cooking, naughty I know.

Today's Food

B-Crumpet, Egg, Beans, Plum Tomatoes



L-Sandwich (2 Slices Hovis Wholemeal 400g, 3 Quorn Slices, NY Deli Pickle & Lettuce), Cucumber/Pepper/Tomato, French Fries Worcester Sauce, Babybel Light, Apricot Petit Filous & 2 Satsumas



D-Cheese Sandwich (Leftover at School and didn't want to waste it!) and Chips with Tomato Ketchup, a really rubbish dinner I know!



S-Kiwi

Sorry to anyone who looks to my diary for food inspiration, there certainly isn't a lot this week, I'll try harder next week!!!

Hope everyone's had a great Wednesday,

Lots of Love Serena X
