Yet another week has flown by in a flurry of rain, sun and frost, seemingly all at random!
I had a Sainsburys delivery yesterday of bits and pieces of party food to put into the garage freezer and I've defrosted the kitchen freezer this morning in readiness for entertaining. I don't really want to be darting out to the the garage in the cold to retrieve the Boxing Day food so intend to transfer it to the kitchen the day before. I therefore need to make room! We have been eating up the odds and ends this week and there is light at the end of the tunnel 😉

I've had a sore tongue for the last week which has been pretty miserable. I can see a tiny little ulcer on the tip and, boy, it's uncomfortable. The pharmacy recommended Corsodyl mouthwash but it stings like billy-o so I can't use it. Research suggests it can make things worse too. Apparently some toothpastes can be an irritant if they contain sodium lauryl sulphate and one of mine does contain it, so I'm sticking to Sensodyne for now. I'm not eating spicy food, not drinking alcohol etc Mr Google suggests low iron or B12 but my last blood test showed normal ferritin levels and I was told I'm not deficient in anything ??
Luckily, I have a dental check-up booked for tomorrow so I'll ask my dentist what he think is causing it. Thank goodness we still have an NHS dentist. I know many people don't.....

It's the Chancellor's budget speech this afternoon. My heart sinks. What will she do now? At least we have the promise of Winter Fuel Payment this year. Phew....
Take care. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

£200 WFA will be wiped out by her still freezing tax thresholds. Many pensioners will be paying tax on that £200 for the first time. Robber Reeves strikes again.
