Very early riser today!

Wednesday 29th June 2022

Remember to smile!

3.35am I woke this morning, lay there listening to the rain for an hour, then admitted defeat and got up!  Thankfully I'm only busy this morning, I can relax later.  But first I'v got to get Aryn out of bed at 7 - wish me luck, he has a hospital appointment at 8.30am, hopefully parking will be easy at that time of the morning, but we shall see, it rarely is.

I've just eaten a sandwich for breakfast because I'm eating leftovers still!  It had cheese and onion sandwich filler in it and cucumber, yeah I know a weird morning choice but it's half six so I've been awake 3 hours so not as weird.  I bought the cheaper sandwich filler and you can tell, it's very runny, more liquid than cheese and onion!

Yesterday we finished the bacon and had a sarnie for brunch around 11, then for dinner we had chicken pie, baked beans and these which were nice and a change from chips, I had them on offer last time I did an Iceland shop.

I loved our huddles yesterday, we're doing our best to keep our prices down to £4 a week and we're trying to help our members by doing the block booking offers which gives them a further reduction (£21 for 6wks, £38 for 12wks) it also gives us the stability of knowing they'll come.

Our members have lost 5,000lb in the 6 months up to 25th June, so in the next 6 months up to Christmas, just imagine the success they could achieve!  This is what makes it all worth while.  

This came up in my Facebook memories this morning; 

A much needed reminder that I refuse to worry about the future because we just don't know what it holds.  Yes the cost of living is ridiculous right now and no one knows how ridiculous it will get but worrying about it won't change it.  My mom was a massive worrier and I truly believe it had a little to do with causing her dementia.  I can handle being skint, I don't want to have to handle having dementia!

Today I will look after my own, I'll make time to relax and I will cook us something delicious using the food we are fortunate to have in the freezer, mmm what to have.  Maybe cauliflower cheese and I'll cook the broccoli and mix it all together, I need to get some extra fibre in Aryn, whether he likes it or not :) 

On that note, I better get myself dressed and then wake the boy up, he'll be thrilled - NOT.

Have a great day, remember to smile.

Mwah, luv ya
