I do love Sundays

29^th April 2018

Don’t be afraid to start over.  It’s a chance to build something better this time.

Yep, I do love Sundays, I remember being bored as a kid on a Sunday afternoon, not anymore, and they don’t last long enough now. I plan to… actually I have no plans which is just how I like it, if the mood takes me I may do another coat of oil on the draining board and the pull out shelf on my kitchen unit.  I have already done my online shop so I have a healthy week guaranteed and few meals planned.

Yesterday was lovely, started with my meeting which is always enjoyable, then I went for breakfast with Katie and Vicky, we haven’t had a catch up in forever, we ended up in TK Maxx first, ooo let’s just say it turned into a very expensive breakfast, but I’m now the proud owner of a much need new pair of trainers, and 3 gorgeous pots for my new garden and two plants from Aldi, a lavender tree and an olive.  This means I need to take a trip to Homebase in Cannock for the third tree which I saw last Monday but wasn’t in my car.  Now if it ever stops raining long enough I can get my summer house sorted, that’s next weekend’s task, waiting on a few bits first, it’ll be easier if I paint it before putting stuff in and Katie has a can for me and I’ll get that next Saturday.

We ate healthy too, I ordered a breakfast veggie frittata from Bella Italia which was eggs, spinach, mushrooms, new potatoes, red peppers and onions and the way it was stuck to the serving dish, I’d say it had been cooked in there and there wasn’t any oil used, so only the new potatoes needed pointing.

The afternoon brought us a visitor, my niece came to visit mom and stayed for a few hours, we chatted a lot about furniture and décor, which was a theme of the day as I’d done the same with Katie, shame all these inspiring ideas and pieces aren’t self-cleaning!  That’s what I should be doing today, but that ain’t happening, my wrist still hurts – that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

I will make my gammon and potato slow cooker meal though, so today could have been a No Count day but I want to eat the flatbreads, plus I would just eat more if I could and that’s not going to help me lose weight and with my project MISSION ME. 

I’ve ordered mom a Fire Pit, not sure that’s the best idea but she loves to play fire and as long as I’m with her when she does it, why not, I’ll get proper fire wood and she can have some fun if it ever stops raining!

So today is the last time in preparation for Mission Me, it will involve pointing everything up in my cupboards with a marker pen whilst working out some meal ideas at the same time, after my little shopping trip, I’ll have to be using what I have in because it’s given me ideas of more stuff I want ;) yep it’s way too easy to spend the money you work so hard to earn.

Right mom’s up, I’ve got a brew to make, as long as moms happy, I’m happy, it makes life a lot easier to handle when there’s no stress going on.  I just want the sunshine now so I can get up the garden.  Thinking I might experiment in the kitchen a little today though.  Here’s to preparing for, #MissionMe #MotivationMay #BevsWW #TheFlexEffect, I’m glad to be reading that so many of you will be joining me on this journey.  Have a super Sunday BeYOUtiful.

Oh and the Pay if forward day yesterday, a chap let me go in front of him in the Aldi queue, that was lovely of him.  Remember you don't have to wait till next year, pay it forward can be done every day and it's a nice thing to do. xx
