Glimmer 30 and it’s a first outing for the final press thing. Works well coffee is delish. Day seems OK but gets a bit chaotic at the end. Call queue seems to go to pot.

Glimmer 28 and it’s a bee on a thistle! First of the lates. HBB, good conversion and the value seems OK. Day flies. Cook a pasta bake that is kidney friendly, both of us decide it is bland and decide not worth cooking again.

A day of rest with the exception of a bit of shopping, a pint, cleaning the floor of the bathroom and kitchen. Glimmer 26 is back to food! Home and make koftas – they work, the bhajis this time don’t, too much batter. Need to follow the recipe rather than winging it! D’oh!
In the meanwhile C looks at a scam site and falls for it. It’s easy to do and when Nationwide give her the heads up, they are fabulous when she calls.

Day off and I sleep, sort all of the washing up and sort the cat’s litter trays. Traditional Friday pint with C at the lickers. Glimmer 25 and it’s Elsie starring in her cat tunnel.
Glimmer 24 and stamps with Betty that must really piss off Charlie are still on sale! Needed to post some stuff to HMRC for herself. Last of three shifts before being off and keep the calls down and the sales up. Shit value like but hopefully everything will balance.
Glimmer 23 and it’s a piece of street poetry. Made me smile as I read it. Regrades and add lines but generally an appalling day for conversion. Good in terms of value though! Early start, post letter for herself. Bus home and shop. Food and collapse.
Glimmer 22, the lesser spotted phone box with phone. Day starts early with a wander to Wigan, grab coffee, lunch and then into work for the first day of a series of shifts. Grab a tough HBB and it’s a start. Day is OK.
Glimmer 21 and Elsie provides once again. She’s enjoyed playing with Nelson the fly to the extent she’s ripped off one of his eyes. Late up and a bit of light shopping. Pint with herself. Back home and whip up a quick batch of pancakes for lunch. Once again enjoy using the crepe pan I bought a couple of years ago. Simple pleasures and all that jazz.

Easter Sunday, and we’re hanging around. It’s our 3rd wedding anniversary too. Time for Glimmer 20. Catch up on the photos! Cook a roast pork for us for tea. We have a jar in the Lickers but other than that a chilled day.

Glimmer 19 and time to try cooking something nice from the Kidney Friendly recipes. Scones made with diet lemonade. Bit dubious until we eat ’em and they’re great.
Tonight we celebrate our anniversary and my birthday at Il Sappore. Unfortunately I’m not feeling great and end up hurling. Whole thing is a bit of a fiasco. I owe C a nice meal.
