Tonight for dinner we had another new meal. I cooked something from jamie Olivers new book. 5 Ingredients

It was lovely.

A day in the hospital

We should have had it yesterday. But my mum got rushed to hospital and we spent all day there. She hasn't been well for a while. She was rushed to hospital on New years eve and sent home without a chest x ray or anything. Any way to cut a long story short it turns out she has a clot on her lung. She is being medicated now on the anticoagulant ward.She has blocked arteries that's why it hasn't moved.  

Thursday 1st February

New day, new month, blank page.

I spent the day cleaning,washing,sorting out yet more cupboards. Talking to the agents that the  insurance  company are using. And baking.

Lemon and blueberry loaf. It's yummy.

Then i nipped to Mr T's to get a couple of bits and got this for free. It was on the shelf with no price on the shelf. Because it wasn't in there system the checkout supervisor said I could have them for £2.50 each. I used my voucher and got them for free.

 Using this. They sent me this because one of the days over Christmas the queues were too big apparently. I can't say I noticed.

The girl on the checkout said they had sent one to every customer who used there club card on Christmas eve. Because of the queues. 

Pinch punch first of the month

I need some good luck. Or just old plain luck. The agents that are working for the insurance company rang yesterday and said they wont be sending the assessor out for a re visit. I just emailed the women who's dealing with the complaint and asked her to deal with it. 

I am not getting worked up or arguing with them  anymore!

Monday 29th January

Well the kitchen planner came and took all the measurements and gave me some good ideas and advice.
I chose something similar  to this

I cracked on with packing up the dining room and kitchen. Just leaving essentials in the kitchen.


I had help!! See pic 4 and 7 :-))

And then the bomb was dropped

When the builder was here last week. We noticed that parts of the plan wasn't correct. Mike said he would talk to the architect and have him correct them.

He has corrected part of them. But he can'y correct the size because he says we will need planning permission. I asked him this the day he came and he said we wouldn't. It's not a problem. He will just have to alter them and submit them. But I would have asked him to draw up different plans had he have been truthful. I might have took the end of my kitchen out a little bit. 

This end a couple of foot. 

I can't do much with this end because the cellar door is there.  

Lets see what today brings 

Sunday round up

Its been a busy week with work. Not a very nice one either. We have a person in at the moment who doesn't like rules so keeps threatening us and any one else who he comes in contact with.

He actually threatened to stab the builder the other day.

Oh well people are just getting worse or the type of people I work with.

I finish work for a week today apart from half day training on Wednesday so that will be a break away from all this madness.

The drains are still leaking from the back gully. CET are coming out gain tomorrow.

Mike the builder came out to do a final calculation. And he said he is going to take that drain out and bypass it altogether that's a relief.

The kitchen planners coming tomorrow after that everything is good to go. I am just going to get my birthday out of the way and then let them start work.

I have a confession I bought another cookery book this week. I saw a recipe on another blog that looked lovely and the book looked good too. I had a quick look on Amazon and it sort of jumped into my basket.

I am making the recipe  Coconut caramel Chicken.
