Going to bake some muffins today for DD2 to take to Uni with her. If there's time will do a cake for Father-in-law too.
I am making Lasagne for the rest of the family tonight so I will just have the bolognese sauce.
Still suffering from painful cramps in my legs during the night. I've bought some tonic water to see if that helps.

Weekly Shop -Tuesday 18 September 2012
B: Flax Porridge
L: Spam & peanuts. 85% chocolate
D: Smoked Haddock & broccoli. Raspberries & cream
Didn't fancy making much for lunch after I got back from shopping today and I wasn't very hungry anyway.
Saved about £10 using money off coupons today.
Away overnight at the weekend so have stocked up on pork curls, salted cashews, chocolate and lactofree portions. Still don't know what to do about breakfast on Monday morning as we are staying in a Travelodge. I'm thinking of making up some flax muesli, putting it in a sandwich bag, then if I take a bowl and spoon I can have that.

Letting Go - 17 September 2012
Feeling really emotional and weepy last few days and have snapped at everyone at some point. Getting really upset at the thought of DD2 going to Uni. This is the second time I've done this and it doesn't get any easier. In fact it is harder this time. With DD1 I was in ignorance when we deposited her at Uni. I thought 'oh it will be ok, at least I'll see her during the hols which are quite long' On the journey home OH quickly dispelled that idea by telling me DD1 had effectively left home, she would have to work during hols and so wouldn't be home as often as I was expecting. This time I know what to expect, DD2 is further away and it will be even harder for her to get home. DD2 is the one I worry about the most. She has mild asthma and food allergies, and is the quiet one, so I guess I've always been more protective of her. Her term does not finish until 24th December so it may be she won't get home for Christmas
B: Fried egg and bacon, mushrooms.
L: Spam Salad. Nuts
D: Lamb chops & roasted green beans. Blueberries & cream.
1 hour Gardening
Dug up first of the potatoes today and managed to transplant the rhubarb and asparagus in our back garden.

This afternoon we are going shopping for Uni stuff and this evening I am going to a Wedding reception. Not really sure what I will be having meal wise for the rest of the day it depends on what I have time for.

Tired Day 14 September 2012
B: Fried egg and 3 rashers of bacon.
L: Cauliflower and cream cheese soup. Pistachios
D: Chilli Meatloaf, cabbage, sprouts & mashed swede. Blueberries & cream
Callenetics: 30 mins.
Very tired today. Done very little apart from making the evening meal. Got busy weekend ahead as need to get stuff for DD2 going to Uni. Then next week we will need to pack it all up ready to take her to Wales next weekend.
As you can see above I made Cauliflower & cream cheese soup for lunch. It was very nice but I think I need to get a hand blender as the texture was not quite right. To make it I just boiled some frozen cauliflower until softened ( I also added a little chopped celery which needed using up). In another pan I soft heated some lactofree soft cheese until it was even softer and slightly runny. I then mashed the cauliflower and added a little at a time to the cream cheese, until I had a lovely creamy soup!

More Please! - Thursday 13 September 2012
B: Scrambled eggs with 3 rashers of bacon
L: Salted Cashew nuts and 2 squares 81% chocolate
D: Chilli meat loaf, roasted green beans & broccoli. Blueberries & cream
Callanetics: 30 mins
Arrived in good time for the performance of Oliver last night. Had plenty of time to climb several flights of stairs (we were in the Upper Circle) and was just getting my breath back when it was announced the performance was delayed by 15 minutes. Finally we were allowed into the auditorium and got ourselves settled. Thirty minutes into the performance and the actors walk off stage and the lights in the auditorium come back on! Someone mentions a fire alarm which I'd failed to notice amongst all the other noise. The whole theatre had to be evacuated. Ten minutes later and we were allowed back in (had to climb all those flights again), but it must have been a good twenty minutes before everyone was back in their seats. Despite the early interruptions we had a very enjoyable night. Most thought Brian Conley was excellent in his role as Fagin but I think Cat Simmons as Nancy and Iain Fletcher as Bill Sykes were better. Didn't get to bed until after midnight.
Despite sleeping in this morning I still feel exhausted. Still managed to get the ironing done. Climbing all those stairs has taken it out of me, think it will take a few days to recover. Will have an easy day tomorrow.
