1. New bed is so high, I actually have a little step now at my side so I can get on it. I feel like the Princess and The Pea, so high up. When I stand at the side of the bed, the top of the mattress is above my belly button height!
With the giant wardrobes and now the bed, I really do feel like a Borrower!
2. The recipe for the crispie tray slice was based on this. Except I added two crushed shredded wheats ( for goodness and roughage ) some rice crispies and the cornflakes to the toffee base. It was DEADLY. Do not make it. You will not be able to resist it!!!
The bottom bit cut off. I also added some melted chocolate to the toffee base to make it a bit fudgey and then topped with melted chocolate and crushed mini eggs - photo on last post. I never add butter or oil to chocolate - yuk! I don't mind it unshiny haha
3. The sun shone warmly today and it made life feel just better.
4. Today I received a text from the NHS reminding me about my up coming appointment on Thursday afternoon at the hospital with the musko skeletal team. Except it was no good reminding me about something I didn't know about! Accompanying this message was another one that said
Here is a letter for you, use this code to access it. So I used the code. You have been made an appointment etc etc. if you do not use this code to access the online message we will contact you by letter in 48 hours.
Well in 48 hours - that's my appointment time - the letter would not be here - and then I would be getting a 'you missed your appointment' letter. Crazy!
5. Anyway. I am absolutely terrified about going. The consultant was very abrupt and to the point. However. I will just put it out of my mind and try not to stress.
6. Oliver is doing his first ever sponsored event! Very clever marketing. The charity is a children's charity in the North East that sets out to support children and families living with nothing.
7. Some lovely flowers on my kitchen window sill - the only place I'll really tolerate them ( long term friends of this blog and in real life know I much prefer flowers in the garden )
Daffs off my son, the bouquet off my daughter and the hyacinths off my friend. The minute the hyacinths stink they are going to be planted in the garden. The daffs will be next to go! But alive for quite good at keeping the water and vases clean and cutting flowers down to keep them going.
That recipe sounds fab! I might see if Lily would be willing to try it :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you manage to get your appointment sorted. I often wonder how many get missed due to admin issues. Xx
I remember years ago when my mum and dad got a new bed, they didn't realise just how high it was in the shop. My mum showed it to my auntie who said b****y h**l, you need crampons to get in that. We all had a good laugh at that. Your flowers are beautiful, I never pick flowers from the garden to bring in the house but I am partial to a vase or jug of flowers bought from the supermarket or florist.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with making beds so high, the mattress are so deep, I don't have a stepping stool, gone are the days when you could fall into bed.
