Good Day

Its been a productive and successful day and those are few and far between.

I didn't sleep great last night, there's only so many days you can sleep on a sofa before you just can't get comfy anymore, so I was awake by 6am which is just wrong on a Saturday if you don't work weekend. Mr Shrink went to work at 7am so I spent a couple of hours trying to find a new blog templete before my driving lesson without much luck, wish I could make my own but I haven't got a clue where to start.

Driving lesson was ok did better than before but I tend to panic if I make a mistake and them that makes it worse. But I did make a mistake and didn't panic towards the end so progress I hope. Fell asleep on the sofa for an hour which I shouldn't have done because I woke up with one of those nasty headaches from not sleeping enough. The afternoon was spent waiting for ASDA to deliver my shopping and searching for recipes. I wanted to make lasagne which I usually make with jarred sauce and the thickest, most delicious, fattening, home made cheese sauce. But I wanted to attempt to make the sauce myself and to add some veggies in there and decided as Mr Shrink can't eat lasagne (ever since he had a nasty case of gastro something or other as a kid) so I decided for tea we'd try spag bog and I'd assemble the lasagne and freeze it as little ready meals for myself.

 I added 2 HexA of cheese just in case we didn't like it much but I needed have worried, it was delicious and my first ever home made sauce, not bad for a veg hater.

 The gravy mince is for a shepards pie that I can assemble mid week and as Mr Shrink like the spag bog and I can't find a decent cheese sauce recipe I decided to freeze as is. Tomorrow I'm going to make another batch of sauces minus the meat because its actually a kids meatball recipe and I have some pork mince so want to try it with that. The only thing I found was it was a bit watery and when It was simmering it spat at me and gave me a lovely blister on my arm, only small but it blaady hurt!!!

 Pudding was a coconut and chocolate muller with a meringue nest.

I forgot to mention that on Thursday my cousin and long term diet (hopper) buddy joined our group, she's just had a baby and now has 2 under 2's and at nearly 18stone she's struggling. We pick her up on the way and drop her off so none of us has any excuse. We've been sending each other pics of our meals :) sad but true but actually Its really helping, she had Steak today which made me very jealous and a Mars icecream which made me even more Jealous. I still can't have anything to nice in the house because I binge, I'm struggling having Hifi bars around. But my theory is if I have an extra hifi its got to be better than a bar of chocolate or a (multibag) of wotsits.
