Good morning, everyone.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It's a dry and cold start to Sunday with a good frost; I'm hoping that it is a fine day so I can get some of Beth's washing on the line.  It will still need a bit of a tumble dry, I expect, but not as much as yesterday - my electric meter was not happy yesterday!

I did SET online - a bit of a killer because I haven't done a SET class since before Christmas but it is always there to join so I really ought to use it more now that things are OK again.

Then I set out to do all the stuff that needed doing.

I filled the petrol tank up - it came to a couple of pounds more than I budget for so that's not too bad.

Then I drove on to Beth and Alex's to drop off the clean and dry washing and to pick up some more.  I think that's cleared the backlog for them now which makes me happy.
Finally, I stopped off at the Cook's shop to pick up my order and have a little nosey round at the same time.  I have Dave and Anna round for a meal in just under three weeks and I think I might get a main dish from there, just to try.  There were also some luscious desserts but I have a roulade in the freezer that I bought for Christmas and never used so that's OK.

Anyway, I got the frozen stuff home and had started checking the SW values to write on the cardboard sleeves when I realised they had made a mistake and missed something out so back I went to sort it out.  I was a bit concerned that they might think I was trying to pull a fast one but they couldn't have been more apologetic, got the missing meal and presented me with a couple of lemon cheesecakes as an apology (which was totally unexpected as I am sure it was a genuine mistake).

Very naughty cheesecakes they are so I will save them for something special, maybe when Alex comes round or I have a friend here for lunch or even when I get back into my target range again. 

I think I might make this a once a month treat - getting some meals from them, I mean, not eating cheesecake!!

Then I went to Morrisons, did a small weekly shop and got foodbank stuff - must look on their site and see what they need most of before I get any more.

Once that was all sorted, the rest of the day was spent washing, drying, ironing, meal planning, knitting, cooking and watching telly - all the usual stuff!!

Today, the biggie is getting Beth's washing finished and dried.  I'd like to get it all back to her this afternoon but we will see - it might be tomorrow.

It's not such a busy day today, thankfully.  I might even get the last sleeve finished for my knitting project.  I'd like that!

Have a lovely day, everyone, and be happy.  xx
