Today's (2nd March 2023) lunch photo

Looks like I was having lunch after all today then! lol

It was a total battle of wills between my lunchtime carer and I today - I said I didn't want lunch today 'cos of Steve's chair being collected, she said it won't take long and I said they might come for it while lunch is being cooked and she said that she wasn't leaving until she'd cooked for me lol

If I'd known it'd be a battle of who could be the most stubborn at lunchtime I wouldn't have had so much breakfast 'cos I'm totally stuffed now lol

My stubborn carer looked at the menu and saw it was 6 vegetarian spring rolls and 6 vegetable samosas for lunch today and she's seen that I take photos of every meal and also a photo of my late hubby because she didn't believe how big he was lol

Here's today's lunch (that I was forced to have) photo:

I've just taken...

...my second ever electricity reading and I've used 662 units since my first one - not sure if that's good or bad lol

Today's (2nd March 2023) breakfast photo

I had another big bowl of fruit and fibre for breakfast this morning 'cos my lunch is just gonna be a mug of instant soup so I wanna get as many calories into me as I can this morning.

Steve's bariatric chair is going at some point between 10am and 6pm today so I won't be able to use the kitchen after my morning carers have been and gone 'cos I'll have to wheel Patrick into their so that they've got room to dismantle the chair and take it out. It's gonna be such a weird experience having so much more room in here for the first time since 2016!

Today's breakfast was a biiig bowl of fruit and fibre with soya milk and a bottle of orange juice. I've also got a drinking choccie on the go now too, but there isn't a photo of that.
