Is that how you and John do your exercises then. 😂

Sorry to hear you're not feeling too well, hope it's not too serious and you feel better soon. 😘

It's Friday as I got my Tesco shopping today and I have to stay up till just after midnight to get my next available Friday slot, it's why I love Saturday as I can sleep in longer if I can manage it. 😊

What did you do just drive round the block, John has to go out in the car twice a week to go to the surgery to have his dressing renewed, it's healing quite well so we're hoping it won't take much longer before it doesn't need to be seen any more.

They're still sorting out his insulin injections, and the nurse phoned him yesterday to check his readings, he's had to up the dose again in the mornings as it's still not coming down enough. He's sent his form off to the DVLA with regards being on insulin and also sent off for a diabetic ID bracelet.

I'm feeling better thanks, Joan. :loveit: And no we don't dance on the tables although at the minute I'd be open to anything. 🤣

Oh wow, you have to stay up and get your slot. I remember John doing that a few weeks ago but we've managed to sort the slot thing out now.

Yeah, I took the car around the block with Han, I couldn't go too far because she had to be back for her weekly Zoom interactions with some of the clubs that she's with. It's the only interaction she's getting so I didn't want her to miss it. I also need to do it to keep the battery charged because it died a death the other week and we had a bit of a faff trying to get it going so we're trying to make a conscious effort to take it for a spin.

I'm glad John's on the mend. I bet you'll be grateful when he doesn't have to go anymore. Sorry to hear that his insulin levels aren't low enough yet, but I'm sure he'll be sorted in no time. Where do you get the bracelets from?

We had our shopping this morning; we have little bit stocked up now so we didn't need as much today, so it didn't take as long to wipe everything down before putting it away.


We binned school off today too; we had an inset day. So does that mean I have to call myself to tell myself that Han and myself were playing truant? 😂 Answers on a postcard, please.

@A Guy I'm struggling with flour at the minute, so I'm unable to bake at present which saddens me. I do have an Instagram account for helpmebake, so I'll have a proper look. At the minute we're jumping from project to project, and it's hard to keep track or do anything I want because I have a million things that take precedence.

@thomaseg1 I really miss items from the farm shop so please enjoy the fresh goodness of all those yummy items on my behalf. We're getting a bit Groundhog day in here that's why we have binned school today. Have you managed to get back out and go for a walk again?
 
Nope , Haven't gone for a long walk been to hot (in the 80's) and Today it's raining.
I did go to the grocery store, for potato chips and dip. I haven't mastered making my own yet. 😊
The Grocery store is in the same plaza as The Tag (auto and others) and the Public Utilities offices.
There was a line about 100 yards long waiting , Neither would allow more than 5 at a time in.
I glad I get mine in December. Online as well. This last time they mailed me The Tag and the sticker,
It was a disability tag so I pay for the tag and get the sticker from now on free.
The sticker is so they don't have to issue a new tag every year.
 
I love Gordon; he's fab! 😊

@Thomasreg1 so what are you doing other than baking and cooking to keep yourself busy? I know Bill's chilling and Joan is hiding somewhere. :p
 
Here I am out of hiding, wasn't hiding honest. 😂


Still can't get Self Raising flour, I've been trying each week to get it for Kelly but Tesco doesn't have it yet, I did manage to get her some glucose last week, I think it was something that Peter wanted to do with mirror glazing Camerons birthday cake.

The thing I'm starting to have problems with is Richmond Skinless Sausage, Tesco have taken them from their range and wasn't able to get any from town today but she'll keep checking for me. :disappointed:
 
Lol! I knew we'd tempt you out. 🤣

I can't get flour either, I've given up trying. It only seems that random shops have it or stores that people are buying shopping from which obviously I cannot do.

Ooh mirror glazing, it's great that stuff. I know Cake Decor make it in a pot that you can just melt in the microwave and pour. I've seen lots of chefs make it and they've created some fantastic colourful designs with it too.

Ah, so yours is sausages, my problem item is Steam Fresh Carrot, Brocolli and Cauliflower. I'm the only one who eats veg in our house, so they're great for me, but John seems to think there is a shortage of Cauli and that's why I cannot get the veg mix. All the supermarkets appear to have removed it from their shelves. 😕

I hope you manage to source some sausages.

I think we shall have a half-day today school wise with it being so hot. Han also told me that it is half-term next week. I laughed because I had forgotten all about the holiday timetable so I would have made her work.
 
The one I got from Tesco for them was in a tube, Dr Oetker (sp)

When I mentioned having to stay up for my slot that's if I want to get my usual slot of 12 till 1, if I leave it till the following morning or I click on Priority Slots, which I'm entitled to, I only have the choice of clicking on picking between 10 am to 6 pm or 2 pm to 10 pm and you have to take whatever slot they give you during that time. The couple of times I've had to do that the slot was late afternoon which is not good for me really, health wise I get worse as the day goes on plus if it turns up during trying to get our meal ready causes problems.

OK back into hiding, back in the kitchen to prepare our meal. 😂
 
I wish I was still young like Alice . She wolfed down 3 stacked Ham sandwiches and still had room for
a plate of home made Fries!

worse yet she never gains a pound.

Good for her, I was like that all my growing up and adult life, I could eat what I liked and didn't put on weight. The only time I did was when pregnant and I never put on too much then. 😀
 
I was nearly 5 foot 9 during my adult years and weighed around 9 to 10 stone. She is certainly tall, just the kind you expect to be a model.
 
I've been good on carbs and sugar, so I don't need flour, although I see plenty of it when I shop. I've lost 17 pounds by switching some foods, and limiting servings (cracker box says 6 crackers is these many carbs, etc. I only eat 6). I've not felt I'm giving much up, and it's helped. I imagine I could really diet and lose more...but I gave up frosted chocolate chip brownies...enough is enough! :D

Angie you mentioned the veg mix you couldn't get, John got a couple of packs of that mixture from the village shop in the next village, they aren't a Co-op but they do have the occasional product to sell from them, I don't know how.

Don't know if you have a Co-op near you but you could try them if you do.

You gave up brownies! What's wrong with you, man! 😂

Thanks, Joan, that's helpful, yes we do have a Co-op near us, but we're not allowed to go into a shop to buy stuff hence the deliveries. At least I know it's still out there though. :)

Back to my cleaning now.

...back again, just a question, have you guys ever bought an audible book off Amazon?

The Lord of the rings complete, Its nice to listen to, when your bored
 
I've never bought one from Amazon but I've had audible books via my library. I'd have them installed on my Kindle but not had one for years, I can read faster myself than the narrator reading to me. 😀
