Signs of the day

Lots of Serious MUD. Apparently it is easier to get out if you reverse into the parking...something to do with Front Wheel Drive..Who Knew?

Isn't this too sweet for words!

Wow...Truly a first world problem

And perhaps a wee over reaction? But her mum must be so proud!

Valentines @Waitrose

All my faithful bloggers know how much I love a bargain...I almost bought about 300 mushrooms for £5 last week, managing to restrain myself  only by reminding myself how much I hate mushroom soup.

Waitrose outdid itself on the Eat In Valentine's Special.

A starter
(I chose Mussels in white wine sauce)
A main
(lamb steaks in red wine and rosemary)
 A side dish
(asparagus)
 A dessert (passion fruit assiette)
 A box of Belgian chocolates, double layer, and a bottle of wine (or champagne)     ....all for £20!

Note to Waitrose....you forgot the flowers.....

Very impressive .
The choices were pretty good. we really enjoyed what we had.

I  went to look at Tesco and Sainsburys as well (even though their TV ads were not awfully inspiring...Rubbish! No value for money at all.

Thus endeth the Valentines Day Shopping Report

Good Boy

Every now and then, Dr Lauren declares that we are looking  'A  Bit Porky' and we have to go on a diet.

We are way ahead of her this time. We have self diagnosed Winter Porkiness and have embarked upon our own diet.

Dr Lauren is off to New York today with Darling Simon, The Best Husband and Son In Law in The World.
This is her Birthday Treat.
Yes, there is a blizzard, but  New York is New York.

So, we will shed the kilos before Dr Lauren gets back and she will be none the wiser.
We have a wedding to attend next month, so this is A Good Thing..

We have stopped drinking diet coke. That shit is bad for you. Seeing as we drank 5 cans a day...
We have replaced it with water.
That has got to be good.
Aspartame is Bad For You.

Also, no more fatty foods.
4  small meals a day.

Alcohol only at weekends , excluding Sunday.

And no sugar.

This is the hardest for The Hubby. He loves his chocs and biscuits.
Me,not so much, I am not fond of chocolate.

This is where my Brilliant Idea comes in.

I have bought packets of Chocolate Buttons.
I use them to reinforce Good Behaviour

Toilet seat down? Chocolate Button
Dishwasher unpacked? Chocolate Button
Identify bad smell? ( I have anosmia) Chocolate Button

Works like a charm! Wish I  had thought of this years ago!
