Two good things have come out of this week though – yesterday I drove myself and a colleague down to Sheffield to visit 2 of our depots down there. I was panicing quite a bit during the week as I’ve only been on the motorway twice. Both times I was with Mr T and it was a quiet Saturday morning. Yesterday involved driving across Bradford city centre at rush hour, joining the M606, M62 and M1 there and back along with driving through Sheffield city centre. I am so scared of slip roads and was really worrying about it but Kevin was a very supportive passenger, laughed it off when we got lost and kept me very relaxed. I honestly didn’t think I could do it but I did and I’m so proud of myself. I was knackered by the end of the day though; I’ve never driven more than 50miles but this was a 115 mile round trip on top of my 10 miles each way to work. A long day of driving in Betty Blue but I got us there and back safely – woop! Go me!

Another plus of this week was the lovely folks at the Cake and Bake Show getting in touch. They were doing a feature on kitchen gadgets for their newsletter and asked me could I provide a short article. I write copy for emails at work but I’ve never done one like this before. I adore my Thermapen so I told them all about that. It really is one of my favourite gadgets. Once again I’m feeling proud and happy; my wee blog is getting advertised to loads more people!

Anyway… it’s Friday lunch hour, only a few more hours til the weekend. Have a great one whatever you do. I’ll be back on Monday with some meal planning.
