Sunday Day 103 – 12th April
Today was jigsaw making day. Got quite a bit done. Not much else done….but frankly can’t remember what else we did…the days seem to be merging into one.
Monday Day 104 – 13th April
Another normal another day of not doing much. Left the jigsaw alone today as spent quite some time on it yesterday and just chilled with a bit of TV and cooking. Chased up my charity dates for ramadan I had ordered over 2 weeks ago and the volunteers arrived ASAP to deliver them as it seems I was missed out.
Tuesday Day 105 – 14th April
Spent today on the jigsaw again and finished it off. Wanted to get it done before Ramadan starts next week. Looks pretty good and don’t want to break it up…but don’t really have the space anywhere to keep it. Feeling a bit ‘meh’ today but it seems like you can’t complain without the judgey people coming out in force. You shouldn’t complain because you have a roof over your head, you shouldn’t complain because you have a garden….blah blah blah. Sometimes people just need to have a vent to feel better…doesn’t mean we aren’t grateful for what we have.
Wednesday Day 106 – 15th April
Yesterday hubby went to collect some flour and other bits that I had ordered from the local bakery. Seems to be one of the few places you can get flour. Got some yeast too and decided to make some bread rolls. Was quite pleased with them.
Thursday Day 107 – 16th April
Got annoyed with the kids being inside and being on the screens again so made them go out in the garden in late afternoon when the sun wasn’t as intense. Got them using chalk on the walls to keep them entertained for a bit…and then played some garden games.
Primary school allocation day today as well. Bee is in Year 2 and will be going to Year 3. As her current school only goes to Year 2 we had to apply for a place in Year 3. The majority of the pupils are going to the junior school next door. I wasn’t keen on it when my eldest was there and I decided to apply to a junior school which is on the grounds of the eldest’s school. I didn’t think I would get a place as they are a feeder school for another school but we managed to get a place! It will be strange as she will have to make new friends…and I will have to make some new mum friends… but it will make life easier for me as I won’t be rushing from one school car park to another.
Friday Day 108 – 17th April
Our 15th wedding anniversary today. We never really celebrated in a big way anyway but usually went out for a meal at some point….but couldn’t even do that! I decided to bake a cake with Bee and hubby made some chicken. I might have ordered some cupcakes if we weren’t in lockdown but even though there are some bakers still running I am wary about ordering at the moment.
Also popped to Bee’s school..they are giving gifts to all the kids. Was Year 2 today…..it was good to see the headteacher and a couple of members of staff. They stood on the other side of the fence and when I was there there was only 1 other parent. It put a smile on Bee’s face. They gave some small activity books, bubbles and a book for them to do their school work in.
Saturday Day 109 – 18th April
Woke up to rain and decided to try a chicken bread recipe I had come across. A friend had made it and showed in on instagram and it looked good and relatively simply to make. I am a bit rubbish at the whole plaiting thing but it did taste good!
Well done with the jigsaw. I don’t have the patience for them but my teen loves to do them.
I feel bad for complaining about little things when I am lucky to have everything I need but sometimes we need to.
Those bread rolls look so good.
Congrats about the school place for Bee. It sounds like it’s going to be much easier and I am sure you’ll both make friends easily.
Happy anniversary to you and your hubby.
I saw you tweeting about the bread and the end result is brilliant. It looks so tasty x

It was tasty! Will be making it again
Your jigsaw looks brilliant and the bread rolls look delicious. It is hard when the days all merge into one and I think it’s perfectly fine to have a moan every now and then, even when we do know that we’re lucky! It’s a hard time for everyone. It sounds like life will be easier when Bee is at her new school. How lovely of the current school to give them all a gift.
It was such a nice surprise when they said they had a gift for the kids
Happy anniversary! That cake looks delicious as do the bread rolls. Glad that Bee got a place at the school you wanted her to go to. The jigsaw looks great – it is always such a shame to have to break them up after all the effort making them though isn’t it? Sorry to hear that you feel you can’t vent without people getting judgey – as you say being grateful for what you have doesn’t mean you don’t get frustrated at times. Hope you felt better for venting here. #project366
Definitely feels a shame to break it up after the effort!
Ooh that chicken bread looks interesting. Great looking cake and bread rolls too. I need to find a non-crusty bread roll recipe to try. Glad Bee got into the school you wanted. Nice that her current school were doing gifts.
Think I will be making the chicken bread again…was good!
That jigsaw is awesome and the cakes. I hope you have more luck with the jigsaw than I did. The rainbow wall looks great. I should get the kids doing that xx
The wall is fun! Might get them doing the other side soon
still not found any flour here.
Love the coloured wall, they made a good job of it.
great job on the jigsaw.
Thanks! Think I will carry on with jigsaws after the lockdown
Wow! Great job on completing the puzzle, which is amazing and full of detail. True, there should be a moment to vent out in a non-harmful way. The bread rolls, chicken bread and cake look great.

Thank you! Getting more adventurous in the kitchen!
Happy Wedding Anniversary. Well done on getting Bee into the new school, must be such a relief and will make your life easier not having to rush around so much. I thought the first picture of the pizzle was complete it looks like a haunted house to me
Yes definitely a relief!
The cake for your anniversary looks so delicious – bet it was better than cup cakes. Happy Anniversary! Nothing wrong with a little moan if it lets negative feelings out and gives a bit of release. Well done on the jigsaw.

It was actually pretty good. The cupcakes can be a bit too sweet with all the icing
Happy wedding anniversary! Your cake looks so tasty, and bread rolls look good too.
Love the jigsaw puzzle. I miss doing big puzzles, but at the moment I won’t be able to even find space for it, as all the tables are taken by educational stuff and toys.
Glad you got a place for Bee at the school of your choice.
I got a jigsaw board so I could move it out of the way if needed.
You have inspired me to bake a Victoria sponge, That looks soooo tasty. That jigsaw is HUGE! How lovely of the school to give gifts to the kids
It was pretty tasty! Was impressed with myself!
Your baking looks amazing. I need to make some bread rolls.
Glad you got the year 3 space you wanted too!
Project 365
Thank you!
I love the jigsaw. I actually brought one to complete but so far I have only done the edges! I really need to put some time aside to do it. Well done on the flour and yeast the rolls and cake both look delicious. Love the sound of the chicken dish. Yay for getting the school place you want to Bee. We found out Kipper got into his reception place too. Love the chalk wall
