An eclectic ‘basket’ chat today……while I wait for the Horlicks to cool before I try it for the first time. Some recent purchases, a late Christmas, memories of ‘Blue Peter’, how I’m entertaining myself……and then the taste test.

A chatty one at the bureau…..the joy of quietly writing to a friend, budgeting, paperwork, porridge, calendars, quitting sugar and more besides (including a bit of a song and some bad accents – sorry!).
The website I was mentioning with reference to financial matters/debt advice: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/

Now that I have the new freezer installed it’s time to fill it up (well, not too full….just in case!). Join me for a batch cooking session in the kitchen where I make the most of ingredients bought at reduced cost.

Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? It’s definitely that time of year when many of us are trying to break bad habits and start some new, good habits…..I’m no exception. Some of my new habits are also helping me to cope with a deluge of stress at the moment….I’m sharing today as some bits may help others. I hope so. Plus some reviews of things that have been entertaining me. This isn’t a ‘doom and gloom’ video! 😉

A lovely quick recipe for when your tummy wants something now! A sort of Bolognese; perfect with pasta (or couscous, quinoa or in a baked potato) and adaptable to turn into a chilli. This recipe cuts down on some cost, a chunk of ultra-processed stuff…and a few calories too.

Today I am delving into the ‘basket of random chat’….and it really is random. A book, moving books, yet another breakage, how many portions of chips do you eat? And making myself giggle at the memory of shrinking crisp packets to make jewellery……

Deliveries to my home seem to be jinxed! Join me for a natter while I press some linens and show a lovely find from my recent foray to source stock for my shop……plus…..I try Ovaltine for the first time! Oh….and something I forgot to do in my end of year video. Grab a cuppa….I’ve gone a bit long again.

It’s a foul day so I’m staying put indoors and creating hygge for myself to keep the winter blues away. I’m cooking, chatting, reminiscing about childhood and assessing whether I meet the ’30 plants a week’ that seems to be the latest health buzz phrase.

Time to use up and make the most of any left-over Christmas veggies. Today I’m making a parsnip soup – with a twist! A surprising ingredient prompts me to share a couple of kitchen hacks which I hope you’ll find useful.

A bit of chaos in the flat…again! A fab book, a new drink to try, something yummy for a crumpet…..and work on the kitchen (hopefully!).
