Let It Snow

Well this is nice , I had planned a big clean today , but theyre all stuck at home so doubtless it will be make a thousand cuppas and feed the five thousand ..lol
Mr Bah Humbug is grumping over his disability , he remembers the days of towing the kids down the lane on a car bonnet , fun with tractors etc etc now he darent set foot out of the door ..lol
Penny Cat is glued to a window watching snow fall , shes fascinated but horrified when you open the window and she realises its cold and wet out there .
I just keeping looking at the light quality and thinking should i dig out some cross stitch or other embroidery for a few hours , just because its so bright and white out there .
We are nearly out of bread so I guess we had better go and mug a pensioner they seemed to be gathering it all up in armfuls yesterday in Tesco . I didnt bother there was only the weird stuff left on the shelves , so I will set the munchkin on later for a batch of bread rolls and some of his favourite current buns .
Tesco tip off , theyre having a bit of a frozen food sale at the moment , it may not be in every branch as Tesco sales can be a bit that way . But it does appear that theyre selling off lots of their everyday value items , burgers fish fingers etc anyone know of a child that looks at a fishfinger and says im sorry its not Birdseye im not eating it ? Does this mean theyre doing away with them? theyre not great but if your skint its food and its filling . Ive made meatballs for bolognese with the cheap burgers the last few months , nobody noticed . There probably wont be a requiem if the sausages are going  theyve all complained about them.unless they came attached to a hunk of yorkshire pudding and onion gravy ..lol .... Cheesecakes and christmas buffet stuff , plus other big brand items really cheap . Theres lots of the veggie quorn and linda mcartney stuff half price as well . Im partial to Linda Mccartney veggie sausage rolls and nobody noticed the difference between cheap burgers and veggie burgers once theyre in a bun with chutney onion rings and whatever yellow label posh cheese ive lathered on them   All great freezer fillers for those of us who dont have the luxury of choice.
Sadly im still struggling to get my head round being able to shop and having choice , maybe i should sue the DWP for damaging my mental health?
The winds building up and its snowing like the clappers here ive not heard a single vehicle in the last hour and earlier there was only one or two , we may lose the electric shortly so its off to go and do the bread rolls , we have a big camping gas stove for just such occasions , living in the country is such fun.......byeee

  1. I can tell by the tone of your post that you are so much better now Kate.I'm so pleased for you. Now all you need it to get Mr Bah Humbug sorted and you'll be able to breath again.
    We're still battling here. Bowels are still tetchy and having the heart looked at with angiogram early March. Breathing a bit better but we are still going every other day for dressings.
    Will it ever end I ask myself and am having the odd melt down only to know that I must recover and march on. Good job us women are tough.

    1. Its damned hard work watching your partner fall apart physically, theres no fix for whats wrong with him but things could be improved is the view i have to take when i plaster my smile on for the day , though he was a bit miffed when he caught me looking at the jobs the other day . we havent got a single appointment this week which looking out the window is a good thing we are now at a good six inches and its drifting .

  2. I will check out Tesco's when I go into town tomorrow. I am thrilled you are getting back on your feet, next a proper treatment plan for Mr Bah Humbug. I do know ho hard that is in Lincolnshire we had a terrible fight for Gerard. Thankfully there is no snow here but I had better check on my parents.

  3. So happy for you Kate, things are obviously a lot better at least moneywise at the moment. Hopefully a medical solution for hubby will be sorted too. Bread and Milk trucks couldn't get through yesterday so shelves empty but full today. Not near a Tesco but thanks for the info. Making hot cross buns without the right flour and no cross;0) too fiddly!

  4. Tesco seem to be slimming down the number of different lines they carry and a lot of my favourites have been dumped. Their everyday value range seems to be shrinking as well! Perhaps this is the last blast of some of the products. LM x

  5. Having some of the financial worry, and proper food will go a long way to improving your mood I'm sure, although when you have such a lot on your plate it doesn't always seem much progress is being made. Good news for eldest and partner, the council have found them a bungalow with wet room, ramps and hoist, and near good bus route, so they are busy packing up their temporary home ready to move this Friday. I will help them with the cleaning etc. of the temporary place, and a bit of cash as they will need all white goods for new place, but I feel as if things are going the right way for them. Hopefully partner can get some help with various conditions, and maybe a powered wheelchair (couldn't have one before as you need a "permanent" address).
