A brief post

Today is one of those days when you dash from place to place but don't get an awful lot done. We woke to a dusting of snow which didn't look particularly worrying. Wrong!! I saw Emily off to school; Claire has a week's holiday and was coming with me to Sainsbury's, so we set off about 8.45am to pick up Mum for the weekly Sainsbury's shop. We eventually got to Sainsbury's at about 9.25am!! We live a 5 minute drive away!!!! The snow was obviously covering a layer of ice which was causing havoc on the roads. We sat in traffic for about half an hour to cover the 5 minute distance. Fun!

.

Shopping done and we were ready for our weekly Starbucks coffee :)

Mine's a tall, wet, decaf cappuccino with soya milk

Claire's not a great coffee drinker so had a lemon juice and an apple cinnamon doughnut for breakfast

Mum's coffee is the same as mine but with normal milk rather than soya!

We got home around 11.30am and I had time to unpack before heading out to take some more photos for the Trinity Playgroup website. Jon has been redoing the website and I've taken the photos for it but there were a few more shots they wanted.

Lunch today was a tub of Saag Aloo from Sainsbury's. I don't need anything else with this, I love it just as it is. I think it must have been Mel's curry and rice lunch that got me thinking I fancied something similar. I didn't remember to take a photo though :(

Emily has been having trouble with the wire on her braces since she went to the Orthodontist and I finally remembered to phone and persuade them to see her today to get it sorted. They explained that the wire is actually slipping in the brackets because she's still on thin wire. However, they've sorted it out again for now and we've bought another supply of wax and hopefully she'll be pain free.

I've just had time to type this before going out again to take Tom to the vet for his vaccinations. I'm sure he's going to love it!! and going in his cat box!! Wish us luck ;)

Claire has offered to make carbonara tonight so I'm looking forward to only cooking for Jon and Emily while Claire makes for Hugh, Craig, herself and me. Final fling before I start a healthier eating programme.
