Tired

I definitely need an early night. I've had a headache all day and accomplished little, but I'm taking the quiet time. 

I didn't do anything worth a pic today, but DH called in to B&M Bargains while he was out and saw this.

It is unfortunately accurate for both DH and I. The pic includes the bag of carrots that were converted into batons, coated in oil, flavoured with onion granules, garlic granules and oregano and microwaved. For those not familiar with B&M Bargains, I guess it's like a Dollar store (not that I know what a Dollar store is like). It sells a lot of cut price processed food, home staples like cleaning sprays and all sorts of cheap decor. Normally I try and be respectful, but there is usually all sorts of pretty things that are a low price but I wouldn't expect to last. There's a tour video here

And I've just worked out how to insert a YouTube video!!! Nothing will be safe again!

They sell garden supplies and DH picked up a watering can for me as I can't find the cheapo plastic one that I've been intermittently using since father was here. We've replaced it with another cheapo plastic one. DH said that he was extremely tempted by a lot of stuff, including the baking trays that he unexpectedly came home with. I've been tempted by a lot of the ornaments and if you keep an eye out they sometimes have good deals on regular food brands - but you have to watch out for the price per weight, as sometimes they're cheaper than the main supermarkets because the item is smaller. 

I baked another apple loaf. The men were very keen on that. They seem to be particularly happy about the baking so I'm carrying on. The next request is a repeat of the banana chocolate loaf, and after that I may have a look for something that can use up the impulse buy of cut price preserved ginger in syrup. Another impulse buy was some gram flour but I think I'll turn that into veggie fritters. 

As for getting stuff done, I may try some sort of reward system, similar to what Kirsten suggested. I'll see how things go. 

I am nodding off at my keyboard here, so I'm off for an early night.

Hugs and good health to all.
