You know the rules...let's be tidy and fill number 8 up first 😁

Morning all!

24.5° in my sitting room, I've even put a thin dressing gown on!

Not much happening today. I'm still waiting a response about my missing DPD delivery, although I have a case number now! Their online update system seems to be a work of fiction. The sender has been away but back now to prod them at his end. I hate waiting in for deliveries when it's hot, I can't stay in my nighty all day!

Morning

just having brekkie

Morning All, waiting for the postman to pick up an Amazon return. Its very convenient, I must say I really like it. Saves me going to the Co Op to drop it off, and so also saves me money because I am bound to buy something as well. Probably chocolate.

Its all quite serene in the dingle household, DH is pottering in the garden, Ddog is on guard duty in the kitchen door way, keeping an eye on both me and the back door, and I am sipping a second cup of coffee.

No plans other than feeding ourselves, and to keep breathing. I might do a bit of sewing later on.

Hope you all have a peaceful day. xx

Quiet here too. Had a massage yesterday, which was lovely but has completely knocked me out 😴

Nothing planned for today, just preparing for DD's graduation tomorrow. It's going to be a long, hot day of travelling and walking but it will also be amazing. So proud of her ☺️

The temp has dropped to the mid 20s here and I don't like it - I'm back to wearing fleece jumpers. Have realised that I am definitely a reptile 🦎

Morning, I'm working today but it's pretty quiet. Waiting in for deliveries again too - had a very cheerful chap from Argos at 8am! And a bit more packing.

Morning all. Chemo day today, last chemo for now as I'm just staying on the immunotherapy for the foreseeable. Still have to go to the chemo unit for it but my case has been taken to management to see if I can get the injection version which will be quicker and less frequent. Sooo I'm pottering this morning and hoping my GP surgery are quick at doing my sick note so I can get it sent to work and switch off for however long I get it for.

We've also ordered a new fridge freezer after all our talk here last week. No idea when it'll be delivered so trying to eat down everything. I need to order a delivery food shop and no idea what to put on it. I'm pretty good at making pasta sauce from scratch or lentil dahl kind of thing. Any ideas that aren't beans and toast we can live off that don't involve taking up much space in the fridge or freezer are welcomed haha! Whilst we have a few cool boxes the less I have to move on the day is ideal.

@Oioiqueen all I can think of is baked potatoes! A few cans of chickpeas or similar could be handy. Things like cheese and salad can sit in a cardboard box wrapped in a duvet if your coolbox is small.
I'm glad you are getting more flexibility with your treatment, and hope there isn't any hassle with your sick note. 💐

A bit cooler for packing, thank goodness!
