EVENING
Sorry if you received a message with just random photos prior to this but like I've mentioned before easier to send pix off fone but type on computer so sent those before I typed this out.
Anyway so today was weigh in although I would have loved my 2.5st award and new stone bracket I haven't dwelled on this 1lb loss as much as I thought I would. So maybe this is growth? We'll see next time I get a gain lol.
So todays been a weird one hubby went to work at 5:30am was home by 10am? Go figure he said he came home to go view his mother in the chapel of rest but we didn't go until 3:30pm so no idea why he came home but it helped a little because I got to go do my shopping instead of leaving a Tesco twit to do it and substitute an apple for chicken lol.
I don't know if I mentioned but the only place I find that stocks quorn sausages near me has stopped stocking them so I was on a desperate search for some alternatives ones and I was looking through my fakeaway book as I've planned a fakeaway week to try the recipes and I wanted a hot dog and they suggested Sainsburys Be Good To Yourself Reduced Fat Cumberland Sausages so I bought a pack...but the fakeaway book says 0.5 syn a sausage I have been informed they're now 1 syn a sausage as they changed the recipe but still not bad for a sausage compared to some will let you know what I think when I have them.
I also couldn't find sweet potatoes in Tesco so went to sainsburys for them. They sell a net of them for £1.50 which was way too much for me or they sold them loose at 1.25 per kg so I just picked up 3 loose ones as it was plenty got to the till and they rang up as £4.37 for 3 sweet potatoes. I told the woman it was wrong as they were ringing up at £3 per kilo she argued with me I was in the wrong, what happened to the customer is always right? So told her to void them so I ended up getting the huge bag of sweet potatoes for £1.50 that will probably go off before I get round to using them. Did have a thought though about prepping them and freezing them? Would this be possible and if so would you advise freezing them raw or cooked?
Got home with my shopping and filled my new fridge lol...found out it isn't big enough lol...thankfully I have another fridge, no I'm not posh, my in laws gave it to us as the fridge section on our old fridge freezer had died on us lol.
Doing my day backwards but this morning before we went out shopping I had arts and craft time with Darcy because while we were at my father in laws last night to discuss my mother in laws funeral he informed us that we had to go see her today in the chapel of rest as she was so severely ill when she passed that they were only going to allow viewing to immediate family and only for one day. So had to get Darcy to make Nanny a picture and hope it dried in time, which it did thankfully...but to make one picture I have ended up with 8 so I'm going to just hand them out to anyone lol as thank you's for her birthday even though I sent thank you cards already lol.
As I mentioned we then went to see my mother in law...and she didn't look good bless her...we took her a photo of Darcy which was kind of heart breaking to be honest as it was her birthday photo which she had done the day before my mother in law got took into hospital so she never got to see them before she died, obviously the picture from Darcy and my husband wrote her a letter which he sealed and put in with her. It's never easy going to the chapel of rest and I cannot imagine going to see your mother in the chapel of rest I pray I am a long time from that experience but he went and he cried and he's now keeping himself busy...my only worry is now I have to go to work tomorrow and Sunday and I just hope it isn't a trigger for his drinking...I really hope he continues to keep himself busy.
In other news...my mum has taken on our finances...I did ask her to but I am starting to regret it...she keeps saying cancel this and cancel that and I'm like I can't cancel this and that we either need them or would have to pay the remainder of the contract out etc...so pointless to cancel them. Then I am so strict about paying my bills and they're still not paid yet she has my bank card...yes she's gone psycho mum on me lol...love her though...so I can't pay them till she comes down to my house with my card and it's driving me crazy as it's the first thing I do on a Friday morning. The reason I asked my mum to take over by the way is because my dad was *****ing that Darcys clothes were old looking, dirty looking too small etc...and I said look when she goes to nursery I'm binning everything she owns because I do agree with my dad about her clothes but she's a tomboy and if I kept replacing them every time she did something my hubbys wages each week would go solely on her...she has play clothes and dress clothes but my dad only sees the play clothes cos why would I send her to play at their house in best? Anyway I said I will buy her new clothes then because she has an issue with clothes being that they don't stay on...lol...so come Tuesday she will be in her uniform till dinner time then she'll either be naked (most likely) or sleeping (hoping) or playing (in play clothes) so I won't need to buy as many 'nice' clothes because she'll only really be wearing them to go out in. This is a long winded way around to my point but bear with me lol...anyway my mum came down the other day and said come on lets go shopping for Darcys new clothes I said I couldn't as we had no money (we live hand to mouth we have no savings and we're basically a single wage household. So she started ranting that we never have any money and that I'm lying to her because no one can live like this so I said right you take over and do a better job...so she has lol
Anyway guna put an end to this entry now as I have things to do attempting the chicken nuggets from the Fakeaway book tonight I don't have a food processor...yet it's my 3st reward...so worried about the breadcrumbs as I tried to make my own without a food processor the other week for KFC Fakeaway and ballsed it up so trying a new method tonight...we'll see what happens...
Bye for now...xxx
