Today's weather forecast was completely wrong. It turned out to be an OK day and not the mega washout predicted. So I got a walk in with Mrs 26

Oh dear. I wandered through to the kitchen to get my tablets, opened the fridge door and looked inside wondering what I was looking for. The tablets don't live in the fridge
Dementia sets in.
Mind, I do it too, not sure how the kids will know I'm suffering from it.

Really tough going on the YS hunt in Tesco this afternoon. 
There wasn't over much, and not helped by one particular chap who ambushed the the poor girl when she came out from the back with all the chilled stuff, snatched the crates from her and dumped the entire contents in his trolley before anyone else got a look in. 
I did give him a right old earful and a good tortie glare (Poppy is a good teacher) and he put some of the stuff back in the cabinet. Fruit and veg was a total free-for-all bun fight and it was hard to find something that *wasn't* a bag of lettuce or salad.
Managed to snag a small piece of beef for the girls, hummus, corned beef, raw prawns, apples, tomatoes, spinach, some cooked chicken, a vegetable bake and a few chocolate croissants.
It seems, with prices rocketing thanks to the nosedive in the value of the pound, the days where I could go on a Sunday afternoon and sort myself out with a fortnight's worth of groceries on Yellow Sticker are but a distant memory.
Now I need to go twice a week in order to keep things ticking over. OK, New Year through to Easter is always the leanest time of year for yellow stickering, but this year it's been the worst it has been for a long, long time.
I did hang around right till the end though, and managed to pick up a whole Brill off the fish counter marked down from £18 to £3. I roasted it in the oven with tarragon and caper butter. Was absolutely lush
And there's still enough left for tomorrow.

Very well done to you. The next challenge, which is the bit I'm on is to keep up all the good work and maintain your new weight. It's hard because it doesn't have an end date.Now 13st 8lb. I was 15st 4 last October

That was the wettest, coldest ride I've ever been on. Discretion won over valour and we cut the ride short. The Winter Sprinter Polocini arond Cheshire, didn't see many people completing the whole thing. The porridge before the start and the wonderful curry at the end were very welcome.

We managed to get the housework done this morning, we then spent an enjoyable afternoon at Whitemores Antiques in Shenton wandering round the containers of Antiques and assorted junk, we finished up in the cafe for a cuppa.
I still have more I want to lose!
