freezing again.

Winter returned with a vengeance yesterday - freezing with a scattering of snow. Today has been -2 degrees with a wind seemingly direct from the Arctic - hat essential. I went to the doctors for a blod test for Cholesterol levels - I do hope that this is a better result than the one in December as I have no intention of taking statins & a good result with save me from 1. visiting the doctor 2.refusing his offer of statins. I have eaten so healthily for the last couple of months, despite eating some bread, I have eaten very little fat have now lost 15 kg (I did the conversion in the bath this morning - 2st 6lb) since last May & feel very good on it. G had a meeting in Solihull so we went separately - our day to collect J & Th from school. I had time to come home, make a coffee & walnut cake for this evenings Lent course mtg at Jan's & vacuum through downstairs & do a load of washing whilst it cooked & cooled. We have had 2 enormous brown eggs today, despite the temp, hence cold pork & a Spanish omelette for dinner tonight, before leaving for Jan's with the cake. Yesterday i took the first of the new Family services at Sh - a full house & hopefully, a fun service for Mothering Sunday - Thank you God! i went on to OW to take Morning Prayer - 5 of us, 2 of them to hear their banns! Half of the family came to lunch, which was great & the g/children had a great time together after consuming large quantities of roast Danish pork, banoffee pie & bread & butter pudding & before the scones, crumpets & cake. Unfortunately KP fell over whilst playing football & was found to have a green stick break in her wrist - B took her to hospital late last night. TV weather says that tonight will be -4, but -10 including wind chill factor - hats again tomorrow then Hollylands is a skating rink. The Co-op has bags of 80 Fairy dishwasher baubles for £7, Morrisons has big jars of Nescafe+ 50% free for £4 - unmissable!
