By the mid-point of my week off we’d enjoyed a takeaway. We average 2 or 3 a year lol. As always it was good, we had the same curry as previously as it was so nice, though this time we opted for chicken pakora as a starter. OMG it was tasty! A lovely meal, though as usual I was kept awake most of the night ‘suffering’ from too much garlic and salt; it’s the main reason, as well as cost, why we don’t eat takeaway often.

In the end, I didn’t go to the next town over for clothes. I’d stopped at a supermarket I don’t often use and saw some nice blouses. I bought a vest top, and a new blouse. I liked them so much, that 2 days later, I went to a larger branch of same supermarket and bought a few more items. Seriously, with blouses that cost £6 each, and only £4 for a vest top you can’t go wrong. I wear the vest tops under other t-shirts or blouses as I feel the cold these days. It’s a nice day here, around 17C, and I have 3 layers on in the house. Must be getting old LMAO I’ve chucked out a few of my oldest tops and was pleased that I could get one size smaller, and they fit nicely.

Oh, on that note, sort of, regular readers may remember I had a blood test back in January for blood sugar levels. After waiting weeks, I eventually asked the nurse on reception for the results, and she said they were fine. This week I got a text from the GP stating they’d reviewed the results and my level had gone up again. I’m one point into being prediabetic, again, and did I want a ‘life coach’ and to go to exercise classes. I declined. I’m going to be more careful, however I’m not overly worried as the test was taken just after Christmas and I’d had Christmas cake and other ‘stuff’. Since then, I have cut down again as I’m watching my weight anyway though why did they review it after 5 months, and what the h*ll took them so long anyway?

Recently, the dust bunnies have been keeping me awake. I can hear them, under my bed, making more dust bunnies (not crazy, just daft). The one day I dragged out all the cr*p from under my bed, vacuumed it all, then vacuumed all under the bed. It’s a wooden framed bed, so there’s a lot of room under it and I keep paperwork in large plastic storage boxes on one side, and excess canned goods on the other side, again in storage boxes. Whenever goods that we use are on offer, I’ll top up, and store excess under my bed. I could hole up there for weeks lol if I don’t mind cold food though not sure I could eat dry lentils.

Tomorrow, I’m popping out for a few groceries, then I’ll take the car to the garage for them to give me a quote on some work that they picked up from doing the MOT in March. It involves brake pipes, so I doubt it’ll be cheap. Oh well, fingers crossed anyway…

I’m still waiting to see if our local council loses their Conservative seat. Oh, I hope so! With Partygate, and the lies spouted by our clown of a leader, they don’t deserve to win too many seats.

Have a good weekend.
