April 1st but are we the fools?

 Hello everyone, i hope that you are all ok.

Well it is the 1st of April today and traditionally it's a big joke day but some how i think the joke is being played on all of us. As from today all these household bills are going up.

Electric

Gas

T V License

Car Tax

Internet(some providers)

Council Tax

Water Rates

But the good news is the Minimum wage is going up, which is not really going to help as it is coming in one hand and going out on the other so we are no better off , in fact we are worse off as it is not enough to cover the price rises. So it's head down and get on with it. So fed up of everything going up, food is another thing that is going up and up. When will it end i ask myself? Ok moaning over.

I was given a dozen eggs last week and they needed using up so i had an Omelette, scrambled egg and then i made a Quiche and Egg Mayo and the last one i just boiled for hubby's sandwich.

Look at all that cheesy goodness, yum!

I also used up my left over Beef and made up 3 small tubs of Beef stew to heat up and pop in a large Yorkshire Pudding, easy lunch for me and hubby.

I popped these in the freezer for later in the week.

I had my shopping delivered and Jack Dog decided he was going to be the guardian of the shopping bags he wouldn't get off them and eventually fell asleep , thankfully i had removed the food before he parked his chunky butt on them.

Our garden has started to pop, my tree's are opening and my huge hedge at the front will soon be my barrier against the world again.

Hubby has been busy in the greenhouse doing bits and bobs..the little seedlings are really moving fast now but still need to be protected against the cold and unexpected frosts. I cover them with a light fleece at night to help. The Frogs and Toads are still doing their thing and we found one trying to cross the netting this morning, i was trying to get a pic , hubby was trying to catch him and between us both he managed to get in the pond safely and i got a pic.

Isn't he a beautiful colour.

I was given some free veg as well so i prepped it all and got it ready to freeze.

Now i know i married a good man and he is my rock, after all these years he still surprises me with a thoughtful gesture out of the blue. I have had my eye on a gorgeous quilt cover  since before Christmas and i was waiting patiently until we has  a little spare cash that wasn't ear marked for something for the house or garden. Well guess what arrived . 

It's  a lovely green patchwork and will look amazing in our bedroom, i can't wait to change the beds and get this on. It's from Temu , £14.99. It feels so soft and good quality as well. I love it and i totally love my hubby he knows exactly how to surprise me.💚

Now i am off to have a Cappacino and sit on my very comfy sofa and start to read some of the books i received for Mother's Day, i love cushions and my daughter gave me 2 yellow ones, i just love the colour, it maybe a mismatch with the others but hey who cares as long as its comfy.

 Have a good week everyone.

Love FTM🌼
