A Long Lunch With Friends

Went to Prezzo with Hannah and Sarah for lunch today.  We had a really long, fun lunch full of laughter. Crip humour and time spent with people who totally get it with no explaining FTW. Plus the staff had coped really well with the idea of three wheelie girls all out together with no carers. Unusual (the restaurant staff coping, not the lack of carers).

I had water and then some apple and blackcurrant squash before I left.

Then there I had two bottles of Sprite (I love those little glass bottles of Sprite, didn't know they did them before I went there the first time, so cool) and a glass of water.

To eat I had garlic bread with mozzarella.  And a Tre Gusti pizza which has chicken, pepperoni and bacon on it.

Here's a pic of us wheelie girlies at lunch

Hannah, me, and Sarah opposite.

I've had several things of squash since I got home and I'm just about to go find some form of sandwich or similar (maybe dairylea on toast?) for some very late tea.

Brilliant day today.  Really hope to get together with those girls again soon.

Friday, Saturday

Friday

I had Water before I left the house and Ribena whilst at the cinema.  Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 was amazing, absolutely loved it.

I really, really wanted to grab a sausage and bacon baguette on the way home but resisted the temptation and had corned beef sandwiches when I got back.

Several things of cranberry and raspberry squash and several things of diet lemonade throughout the day and evening.

Jacket potatoes with cheese for tea (2) yummy, yummy in my tummy.

And Raisins for a with my meds snack.

Saturday

Lazy day today, I've basically done nothing much at all. Computer, phone to a friend, computer, reading, sleeping, computer is the basic gist of my day. DVD and knitting in a min me thinks! Probably a good thing as next week is going to be so busy but I do wish it hadn't rained so much so I could have made it into Reading.  I have John Lewis vouchers burning a hole in my pocket!

All I've had to drink today are multiple pints of apple and blackcurrant squash.  Trying to cut down on the juice/cranberry and raspberry squash/ribena as I had a one off of stomach cramps and assorted yuckiness I think due to too much of the above.

I had southern fried chicken and cheese on toast for lunch.

And I had new potatoes and ready cooked chicken for tea.

I'm going to grab a piece of Madeira cake in a few as a taking my meds snack.

Wednesday, Thursday

I don't know why I seem to be doing these two days at a time but I do!

Wednesday.

Did a big chunk of knitting and got several jobs done including getting my glasses fixed and my hair cut.

Sausage and bacon baguette
lots of water
squash
ready cooked chicken, new potatoes, peas,
diet lemonade
more squash, more water
3 hobnobs.

Thursday

So far I've had orange juice (probably a little too much orange juice) and diet lemonade to drink
and I've had two rounds of corned beef sandwiches for lunch.

This is where it all began to go a little bit wrong
I had 4 hob nobs before I went out (the last of the packet) as I wasn't sure I'd get a chance to eat whilst out and would be gone over tea time.
Then there was a buffet so I had four or five bitesize sausage rolls and a few crisps with a couple of glasses of water to drink.
I was the first speaker and left right after I did my presentation so managed to make it to knitting after all where I had a j2o
And then when I left I picked up a cone of chips from the chippy as I was starving.  In a way that's willpower because usually I'd get a full portion of chips and a large sausage and I was very tempted to do that then but resisted.

A Birthday Barbecue

Today is my younger brother's birthday. He's 26. We had a barbecue at my parents house to celebrate. And as always in this family there was a lot of food.

I started the day with a much needed lie in. Water, then 2 rounds of corned beef sarnies & 2 pints of blackcurrant squash.

At the barbecue I had 2 burgers, 2 chicken drumsticks, 3 rolls and 4 sausages. As well as a breadstick and a few crisps and twiglets. To drink: a glass of water and 3 of diet lemonade.

Some sort of Saturday related title.

I was up early this morning despite wanting to have a long lie in because Argos were coming with a new bed for me.  I'm just about to go back to (my old) bed with a book because I'm tired.

11:12
I've had apple and blackcurrant squash (about a pint and a half) this morning and a bowl of Rice Krispies.

Buy One, Get Two Free

Days worth of food blogging that is... not sure what happened yesterday which meant I didn't get here but Wednesday I didn't really seem to stop much and whenever I did I had other stuff I needed to go on the computer.

Wednesday

I had a sausage and bacon baguette.  Quite a lot of cranberry and raspberry squash, some water.  I ended up with spam sandwiches for tea which whilst yummy are 1) not very healthy and 2) not particularly suitable as a tea type meal.  I forgot to go and by what I wanted to have for tea and thought I didn't have time to go back into town and grab it.  The way things went my evening plans didn't come off as anticipated so I could have done.  I went to cornerstone in the evening where I had some appletise and did some writing (my mate forgot she was supposed to come meet me and I managed to leave the house without picking up my phone...) then when I got home I had some shortbread.

Thursday

I had one glass of cranberry and raspberry squash. Lots and lots of water - I think 4 pints? spaced throughout the day.  For lunch I had corned beef on crackers and three bits of shortbread.  In the evening I went to a CAB summer social - a BBQ with ferret racing. Apple juice to drink - 3 125ml wine glasses of it I think.  To eat I had a burger in a roll, a piece of chicken, two sausages in one roll and a few crisps.  Later I had I think 3 tiny flapjack bites and 3 bits of shortbread for pudding.  This was a major win for me because the person who went to the pudding table for me put a few bits I hadn't asked for in my bowl too (why do people do that?! I don't get it....) including some chocolate which looked like milk and white chocolate mixed together... and if you know how much I love kinder chocolate (which this wasn't) you'll know how tempting it was for me but I passed it on to someone else.  When I got home I had a glass of milk to take my "with or after food" meds with.  I'm not convinced that works great but it did better than when I took it with just water on Monday and felt rubbish after....

Friday (Today!)

Today I've had 3 mugs of water (don't know why I'm drinking out of a mug rather than a pint glass like usual but I am) so far and a sausage and bacon baguette - my lunch with a friend got cancelled and I couldn't resist when I was in town.

I really need to get my eating back on track again....

20:58

Have had several more things of water which I've been enjoying a lot.  I played on just dance 2 for 25 minutes so I got some exercise which I also enjoyed.

For tea I had jackets with cheese and diet lemonade to drink. Comfort food after a bit of a crying spell.

Later

more diet lemonade and 4 bits of shortbread (I was going to have 3 but that would have left one all on it's lonesome in the packet which obviously wouldn't do.)
