Back to work

 Work docked my February pay last month as i'd taken the max sick days out in a year.  I assumed they might but I think they should have told me.  I've now asked to come in next Monday (a week early) but I need a fit for work note from my doctor.  FFS!  I'm tempted to just take the hit, but would lose another £1k+.  If I go back to work, I only have 6 weeks left of the contract as i've got 2 weeks off on holiday over Easter.

Pizza oven is back out

 I brought the pizza own back out of the shed yesterday.  It's been stuck up there all winter.

Lotto win

 I won £140 on the national lottery on Wednesday.  I reckon i'm currently up on 2026 so far, but not by much.

I matched 4 out of the 6 numbers.

5 numbers would have been £1,750

All 6 £8,262,434, but nobody won that so will be back in on Saturday's draw.

April's first game!

 The Clark family is only big enough for one adult playing rugby at a time.  With me being out for the rest of the season, it's April's turn to step up and shine. Well done!  She even downed a pint!  Is there nothing this lady can't do?

Pork belly tacos

Verdict.  They were very good.  Note to self, add honey towards the end of the cook, they would have been amazing!
 

Timmy

 World book day is coming up and Arthur has been reading the famous five.  His favourite character is Timmy so April made him this outfit.

Flo's favourite

 Arthur was on a play date on Friday afternoon so I asked Flo what she wanted for dinner.  Spaghetti carbonara.  Not a bad effort.

Lego build

 I ordered this to do with the kids for the weekend.  We finished it in a couple of hours.  Good fun.  I can see me getting very addicted to this!

Finally

 April bought Arthur a Real Madrid (knock off) with Trent Alexander Arnold on the back when the kids headed off to Spain last summer.  April has replaced it with an official Liverpool one from Vinted for £4.  Not bad.

Crocus

 The crocus at the bottom of th e castle have started coming out again.
