G tootled off to work just before 9am and won't be home until 4.30pm so it's been a day of catching up with chores and errands. I wanted to buy a single lemon so that I can make G a lemon drizzle cake for his birthday tomorrow so popped to Sainsburys. As luck would have it, they only had bags of lemons at £1.60 a bag 😳 I gave them a wide berth but took the opportunity of buying some groceries for the food bank trolley from my pocket money. One job done!
Next stop was the hospice shop in the village to drop in some handmade cards for them to sell. I took 26, so potentially £26 worth if they sell well. I promised to pop back in a couple of weeks to see if they were selling. If so I will make them some more assorted ones. Two jobs done!
I need petrol so might go to Morrisons tomorrow and see if they have a single lemon there. If not, I can make G something else while he's at work.
The family were coming to visit this afternoon but our 14 Yr old Grandson had his second Covid jab yesterday and feels a bit under the weather so they are not coming. A pity but understandable.
G has requested one of his ready meals tonight so it will be chilli and rice (the planned beef stew will stay in the freezer until another time) I fancied something hot for lunch so I cooked a cheese and onion plait to have with all the past-their-best salad bits in the bottom drawer of the fridge. That reminds me.... I must put carrots on next week's shopping list.....
Nothing spent from the challenge budget....
Thanks for popping in.

ReplyDeleteYou are doing well with your challenge.
God bless.
Thank you Jackie x
DeleteDo you have any bottled lemon juice that you could use instead? I always keep a bottle in the fridge for this sort of emergency (and hot lemon drinks). And needing a Lemon Drizzle cake is a true emergency :-)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't have any, Sue, as I only really use it on pancakes but it's a jolly good idea to buy some if Morrisons don't have single lemons today, thank you :)
DeleteLemon Drizzle cake is DEFINITELY an emergency to keep the birthday boy happy! lol....
Happy Birthday G.
ReplyDeleteHope you were able to get the lemon and make hubby his birthday lemon drizzle cake :)
