Up at 7.30am to make Paul's sandwiches and get breakfast ready.
Ate my normal breakfast and headed over to the farm for 9am again.
Spent the morning moving ewes and lambs around, mucking out the pens and feeding the lambs.
When I first started feeding the lambs there were only two to feed, and one of those was a rather reluctant feeder...however now there are six to feed (one of those is still with it's Mum but needs some extra food for now). So at the start it was cute and a relaxing task...but as they have grown those first two have become really rather pushy and even though they were fed first they kept trying to push in and get more milk. It was a bit like being surrounded by a gang of woolly milk seeking piranhas...lol
12pm - Lunch - Chicken, ham, potatoes (left over from last night), tomatoes, beetroot, pepper.
Berries and yoghurt for afters.
I finished off a couple of jobs after lunch and then headed home.
Did some house work and made a fruit cake for an upcoming wedding cake I am making.
Sadly I fear that the combination of having my lunch earlier than normal (when at home I don't tend to eat it until 2pm) and the fact that I had yummy cake ingredients all around me meant that I was feeling rather hungry and gave into temptation.
I ended up eating 2 x oaty crisp biscuits, a large plum and some raisins.
However the worse thing was that I had too much mixture for the cake I needed to make, so I made a smaller one...the idea being that I could test it and make sure the wedding cake one was up to scratch.
I tested it and it was very much up to scratch, so much so that I succumbed to a slice and not just a few crumbs.
So I have failed to keep to the plan today, I hope it won't have too adverse an effect on my weekly weigh in results...we shall see.
7.30pm - Supper - Coconut chicken curry and rice
Tomorrow I am planning to try and have my lunch later in the day, that way with any luck the afternoon munchies won't get me!
