What have you been doing today?

About to go shopping for weekly supplies.
Now I can see what I have because of the new drawers, I won't have to buy much. Trying the $100 a week programme.

Didn't work. Although I probably have enough Fruit and veggies to last for 2 weeks. .

LOL

I've been pottering in the garden today working as much as I could in the shade. I rescued Apple mint,Ginger mint and Pineapple mint that we're struggling where they were growing. They are now in pots. I've never cooked with them, just like their pretty foliage. I suppose I could put them in a jug of Pimms as garnish

CC, I thought Apple mint was the one used in mint sauce. What do you use ? Pine apple mint is nice in chilled water on a hot day.

It shows how poor my herb knowledge is, I didn't even know there was different types of mint.

I use a different mint for mint sauce Chookie. The original plant I bought at the supermarket. I'll try the pineapple mint in chilled water.

Taking advantage of the good weather I cleaned out our Potting Shed. There were many cobwebs to vacuum up. I then put everything back throwing away things that we just don't use/need anymore. I wonder how long it will stay tidy

Spent most of the afternoon in the garden after cleaning out the chook shed. Lovely to be outside.
Cleaned out a couple of kitchen drawers.
In the morning I matched all the saucepans with their lids. Have 4 large lids over???

That seems to happen Chookie!!!
Yesterday I decided to swap the container my SD starter lives in. I found the container but couldn't find the lid! (those jolly lids Chookie) I cleaned out 2 cupboards looking for it and still didn't find it.
DH and I are off to a carbs talk this afternoon. A little more  information on the importance of them to me won't go astray.

First day back on the 5:2 diet today.  Michael Mosely has revised the daily calorie count up to 800, saying there is not that much difference between that and the previous total.  I am really chuffed as I have come in at just over 500.

We'll done.

Marina, that is great. Congratulations.
Gave the large fridge a good clean out.

This morning DH and I went to the Apple store. His ipad has been very, very slow lately and he gets frustrated. (Men) They were very good and treated him with care and explained things in non techno terms. It turns out that everything is fine with the ipad, the battery is good and he still has 10GB of  memory left. DD gave it a clean out before we left.
We did however look at new ipads and I am thinking very seriously that maybe I would like one. I don't NEED it, its purely a WANT.  I will have a serious think about it.

LOL cookie. Sleep on it, you may change your mind.

Know exactly where you are at the moment. Ral needs a new iPad. It is not so much the buying but transferring the info over and getting used to a new machine.
