To all my blog readers and friends… the one day in the year when you can eat as much chocolate as you want and not feel guilty, so enjoy  🙂

John Lewis has some fabulous Easter ornaments !!!

This was my logic…..   I had saved money for going away at Easter but we have not gone away, so I got everyone nice Easter eggs including Geoff his favourite organic Green and Blacks.

I had money left and thought why not treat myself………  BUT did I  🙂

At times I can be so indecisive, especially when it comes to spending money.

Usually by the time I have made my mind up the item has gone.

I have no girlfriends to go shopping with so that just makes it harder to decided.

Although maybe that’s a good job as when Anne came to visit we both went mad in white stuff.

I can usually talk myself out of buying anything… always a 100 reasons why not to get it.

BUT I would really like this jacket ,nothing posh about it just practical and comfortable and sssooo me.

I promise you it has nothing to do with the colour…

Watch this space to see what I decide….

By my good friend Anne in Oxfordshire…..

Geoff sent me this link about muffins which I found interesting……..

When I  bottle my sloe gin, I have decided that I am going to make muffins with the sloes.

Could be a very interesting flavour. 🙂

Muffins enter typical UK ‘basket’

Spending on muffins and smoothies reflects cafe culture says the ONS

Fruit smoothies, muffins and portable digital storage devices have all been added to a typical basket of UK goods, used to measure inflation.

Frozen vegetarian ready meals, CD singles, "stubbie" lager and 35mm camera films are to be removed, the Office for National Statistics said.

The ONS updates its 650-strong basket of goods and services annually, to better reflect public spending habits.

The basket is used to calculate the Retail Prices Index.

The ONS said the inclusion of fruit smoothies and muffins was reflective of a growing "cafe culture".

"Fruit smoothies are included as the emerging market of healthy soft drinks continues to rise in supermarkets," said the ONS.

It added that muffins were being included for the first time to reflect the fact that snacks such as croissants and cakes were being bought when customers bought coffees in cafes.

The removal of Top 40 singles from the basket reflects the fact consumers are downloading music more, said the ONS.

The prevalence of digital cameras means consumers are buying far less film, which explains why the 35mm film dropped from the basket.

In contrast, spending on portable digital storage devices has grown. This includes memory cards and storage sticks, mp3 players, mobile phones and computers.
