Visiting & Shopping Day

 Set off yesterday to visit my friend in Exeter. Her greenhouse door smashed in the last storm so OH went to collect the glass and fix it for her. Had a nice chat and piece of her lovely homemade cake. We took the dogs with us and she spoilt them with pieces of ham lol.

Today, we went shopping this afternoon to re-stock the fridge and cupboards now that everyone has left. I was going to buy stewing steak to make a beef stew but it was so expensive that I chose a beef brisket joint instead.  That will make 2 meals - a roast and the stew. Lots of veg on offer in Lidl which was a bonus. We called in Sainsburys for a few things they don't stock. 

Menu this week is pasta with chorizo, lardons, creme fraise and courgettes. Roast chicken, beef stew with dumplings, curry and rice, cauliflower cheese with chips and tomatoes. We try to have 1 vegetarian meal every week. OH will probably have fish one day while I'll have omelette as I'm not fond of fish. I don't usually menu plan as OH tends to do the shopping and cooking almost all the time - his choice. He tends to shop several times a week though, which works out more expensive.

I'm really noticing how much prices have increased since last month especially in Superdrug. One of their toothpastes is £9.99!! Didn't buy that at that price.

I don't think we will be alone here for long as my sister has already phoned saying she wants to visit soon. We will never be lonely here lolol.

Bye for now All the best x
