Today's (5th October 2026) breakfast comments

I started off my birthday and this week as I mean to go on: with my normal 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with and a second, solid breakfast of 2 slices of wholemeal toast with approx 10g of 'Buttery' spread and approx 15g of a plant-based chocolate and hazelnut spread washed down with a 250ml bottle of wonky pineapple juice, which was just what the doctor ordered.

I've also got my first allowed caffeinated instant coffee of the week on the go too and I'm planning on having as many me-friendly creamy drinking chocolates as I want today - I deserve it and I need the space in the fridge door for tomorrow's two soya milks to try making my first ever seeded smoothie with yesterday's Omega seeds.  I've got no idea if it'll work or if it'll break the machine, but I wanna give it a go just to see what it's like.

Mornin' all

Happy birthday to me,
Squashed tomatoes for tea,
There's a nutter,
In the gutter,
And yes it was me!

I had a bad night last night again, but taking the gummy an hour before bedtime did kinda help.

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 so there won't be any birthday laps or exercises today.

I've also lost 300g this week so I'm 1.4kg overweight now, which is a relief.

I've taken my 11 morning pills, refilled the bottle with squash and tried a vegan Nutella for the first time for my birthday breakfast and it tasted sooo good.  It hasn't messed me up yet and there are none of my allergens in it, so I'm trying to remain positive that I can have chocolate spread for breakfast instead of trying to resist my cravings before 8am.

I've just taken the rubbish sack and the paper/card sack outside and it doesn't feel too windy out there, so hopefully they won't be blown away.

I've just remembered to start the virus scan, so I'll put my breakfast comment and today's to-do list up when that's all done and dusted, but for now this first blog post of the day is getting to be a bit long, so I'm gonna shut up and go and make myself my first creamy drinking chocolate of the day.  Gotta remember to change the bedding at lunchtime and try and get the duvet in the right position this time!  lol

Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, thoroughly exhausting day so for the last time this week I'm saying...

That's this week's...

...OddBox been delivered, opened and put away.  I've got lots of smallish carrots and potatoes this week and I've also got my first ever JackFruit that feels slightly soft, so that's tomorrow's tea sorted and I've got a small butternut squash for tomorrow's lunch too, so I can now put together next week's official menu then head to bed for the final time this week.

Aaaaand... relax!

Both my deliveries have arrived, been opened and put away and the spaghetti strainer has been picked up so I can now relax until about 5pm when I'll put my OddBox container outside and bag up the rubbish ready to go out first thing tomorrow morning so that it doesn't blow away overnight.  I've got the next two week's of menu's sorted thanks to my stocktake and I can, in theory, put more week's worth up, just based on what's already in the fridge and freezers, but I want to make sure I've got fresh fruit and veggies on the menus and I won't know what's available until the middle of next week.

It feels like I've achieved a decent amount today and I'm really proud of myself.

Today's (4th October 2026) breakfast comment

Today's breakfast just came in one part - a 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with and the last two bananas from this week's OddBox delivery.

Mornin' all

Well, the gummy sleeping pill I took last night worked after about an hour and I've woken up feeling a lot more human this morning, so I'm gonna try and take the gummy at the same time as my evening pills tonight at about 6pm to see what happens tonight and tomorrow morning.

My 'Morning Stability' score on my Visible was 3 this morning, so I've just done my last set of laps and exercises of the week after taking my blood pressure which was pretty high-for-me at 120, then I popped my 10 morning pills before doing my laps and exercises.

A Freegler is interested in something that I'm offering and said that they were coming today but didn't give a time, so hopefully they will reply with a sensible time soon 'cos I've already told them that I don't answer the door after 6pm.

I've also got 2 deliveries due to arrive today and I've gotta take my recycling out, and put my OddBox container out at about 5pm too.  I'm gonna put my rubbish out this week, but I don't want it to blow away so I'll put it out tomorrow morning instead of today.

I've got a packet of 'Omega seeds' coming with tonight's OddBox so I'm gonna empty them into today's deliveries and try having a Omega soya smoothie to see what that's like on Tuesday.  I've got a chocolate soya milk on my grocery order too, so I'll give that a try with the seeds too.

I finished off the last two bananas for my solid breakfast this morning, which thankfully gave me enough energy to get through my laps and exercises without falling down.  I desperately want to not snack today 'cos I've put on 2kg in less than a week and I eat because I'm bored not because I'm hungry, so I desperately wanna try and break that habit.

The virus scan was reassuringly clear, so it's time to get my breakfast photo up on Instagram, then my to-do list, then go and make myself my first creamy drinking chocolate of the day methinks.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely knackered so I've taken a Rescue Remedy gummy (an hour late) and I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today's (3rd October 2026) tea comment

Today's tea was the last of this week's OddBox - 2 easy peelers and I caught them just in time 'cos I don't think they would have lasted another day so I'm grateful that I've changed the menu around a tiny bit.

Extra to-do's/plan for tomorrow

In no particular order, but all needs to be done:

• Make solid breakfast
• Eat solid breakfast
• Wash up knife, plate and bottle
• Do detailed stock take
• Come up with solid menu for next 2 weeks
• Box up recycling
• Take recycling outside
• Tie up food waste bag
• Box up food waste
• Take food waste caddy outside
• Empty bins
• Put rubbish into sack
• Put rubbish sack down by the door
• Refill dosette box
• Put OddBox container outside at about 5pm
• Bring OddBox in if it's delivered early enough
• Put OddBox fruit and veg away if it's delivered early enough

I desperately need...

...to do a stock take!  lol

My last one was on 28th August and things have been moved around so much and used up!

I'm not seeing Marie tomorrow, so I'm gonna put the radio on, do a stock take of everything then come up with menu's with more than just a vegetable for lunch.  Tomorrow and Monday will use up the tofu and hash brown bites, then I'll be using up something from the freezer as well as a fresh vegetable from that week's OddBox for each lunch and a fruit sleeve and/or piece of fruit for every tea.  

My belly is used to eating properly instead of just a mug of instant soup being my only meal some days now, so the (hopefully protein) solid is the final thing to add in to make a proper, healthy meal now that my body is used to eating properly instead of living on about 500 calories a day like I did for the first almost 3 years.  

Next task is to add in a protein source to my diet, but that'll be pretty easy with vegetarian pieces and vegetarian sausage rolls and vegetarian nuggets etc that I'll start adding in, but I'm just taking it very slowly and gently instead of rushing things and ending up regretting it.

I've got Omega seeds, persimmons and a dragonfruit due with tomorrow evening's OddBox but I think I've tried pretty much everything else other than eggs now, so that's a good thing too.  I'm gonna use the seeds in a smoothie with plant protein milk (both ordinary and chocolate to see which I prefer) assuming the milk is available with my groceries on Tuesday morning, so I'll snack on that instead of crisps or chocolate or mince pies but I'm just taking it a tiny step at a time.

I'm taking it slowly but I'm so close now.
