Simple Saturdays

Good evening, I hope you are having a lovely relaxing Saturday.

I am, I really haven't been up to very much today. I dropped a large bag of books off at our local Barnardo's charity shop. This shop is very local to us and I have always dropped things that I don't want off there. But after dropping this bag off today I have been thinking maybe I should be looking for a charity that is a bit closer to my heart. I would really like to pass my unwanted things to a cancer charity shop or if there is not one of those in our area the other thing that I truly care about is children (I guess that's why I work in a school) but I hate the thought of children being unwell so maybe a sick children's charity shop. So I am going to see what shops are in our area.

We cooked the chicken that needed to be cooked, we put a fresh lemon and coriander on top and we are going to have it tomorrow with some new potatoes and salad. We also used up the two packets of minced but we did not have the chilli that I planned as sweet man has had a bit of a sore stomach the last couple of days and couldn't face anything hot so we made cottage pie.

I asked the children what they would like to do this morning and they said just play, read books and relax. I think they are missing the school holidays!

From the 5th October we are no longer going to be given bags in our supermarkets but instead will have to pay 5p for every bag we need. I thought you may want to have a look at the bags that Jo from solstice-days is selling in her easy shop. They are lovely, my daughter has mentioned the butterfly bag to me a couple of times today. Please remember to start either leaving your bags in your car or carrying them in your handbag.
