I thought when I finally finished full time work 18 months ago I might shed a few pounds, but that doesn’t sadly seemed to have happened, I have decided however to try and walk more, I find listening to audio books whilst walking very enjoyable, I just need to do more of it!

Good morning. It started off well but the sky looks threatening now. Its a treatment day so I dropped Mrs P at the hospital for 08.30, she got an early gig this week. On a whim I decided to bob into Chorley, specifically Booths. What a result!!!!!
I discovered White's Oats supplied Aldi under the brand name Kavanagh's. Regular readers will recall, how could you forget, the great porridge crisis. Further in depth investigation revealed White's, under their own name, supply Booths. My local Booths stocks five or six different White's products. Calm down. Calm down. I have only bought oats, nothing else. I'm sure it's the same product but the flavour does seem slightly different. I will perfect the cooking and flavouring as the days progress. @Mo1959 we don't have the right Coop to try your suggestion, ours are all mini ones which do Quaker Oats and that's it.
A trip to see my PT this afternoon and village quiz night this evening. We are expected to wear Christmassy stuff. Nah. Humbug.
I said nothing else from Booths. This is true, to an extent. Only one oat based product.........well almost only one.............Booths have a rather fine spirits department.....................I'm a bit of a sucker for a browse and found rather good Japanese whisky.
Mince pies. I have signed the pledge. Yesterday revealed a mince pie contains 226 calories. I'm not buying any more.........
