Just catching up on your diary. I'm interested in the beauty box? Where do I get one from?
Your walks sound lovely. I keep saying I will do my walk first thing and your description of yours strengthens my resolve. 
My headphones are here but Luddite stress has stopped me from progressing with them. I will make them tomorrows frog. They are quite big. Do yours fit?

If you google Latest In Beauty @doingitanyway you should be able to find the link to their website. You can then register and you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about what kind of skin you have, etc so they can compile a list of what products would best suit you. The list is quite comprehensive. You can then opt for which monthly pack you'd like - £9 for three products monthly and it gets dearer if you want more than three.  As @Sun_Addict posts, there are one-off packs you can also buy much cheaper than going out buying the individual products. 

Re the headphones I'm afraid I've been suffering from Luddite stress as well!☹️  They're not too bad a fit though - I must have a large noggin!🤣

I'm getting quite excited @dawnybabes - looking forward to receiving my package!😀

Talking of beauty products, which sort of morphs into one's figure - I had a nasty shock when I got on the scales at the weekend and found I've put on 8lb since I started working from home a fortnight ago!😱. That is bad, bad!  If I don't watch it I'll put back on all the weight I took off a few months ago!  So I joined WW and am on the blue plan as from last weekend.  I might even try and fit in the 5:2 but this might be a step too far.....☹️  It just shows that it's what and how much you eat that's the problem as I'm walking every day!

Anyway today was back to work - busy, busy, but I went out at lunchtime. Quite a chilly wind and the sun kept going in and out but bright enough to wear my sunglasses.  And when the wind dropped it felt quite warm.  The tide was out today but still a nice ramble although hardly anyone around.  Everyone's front gardens are looking very nice with all this extra care due to the lockdown!

This evening I've got a clothes wash to put on, a couple of calls to make and I'm going to put my moisturising socks on whilst watching the box!  BBC4 have been re-running 'Wolf Hall' for the last few evenings and it's the final two episodes tonight. 

SCRIMPY MSE THINGS

Beauty box, WW and a 70th birthday card at Waitrose yesterday.

I I think we will all be guilty of putting on weight after this is all over. I think it's so easy just to go to the fridge and get anything you have. I am sure you will be successful on your WW . Does the diet work out ok with the vegan diet you follow? 

Your beauty box sounds ideal.

I've been a bit guilty over chocolate I'm afraid. And I haven't been 100% vegan since all this shopping palaver started as I've not always been able to get my preferred vegan cheese. I've slipped to cheddar as the vegan versions I could find I find awful (hangs head in shame.....🤫🤫🤫🤫)

Look what I’ve started with the beauty boxes 🤣

I do WW blue plan although have been a bit free range with it just lately. Seem to be staying the same weight though. It works for me and I’ve been at goal give or take the odd pound for 18 years. 

Don’t worry too much about the cheese at the moment at least you’ve not reverted to meat 😱

Seasidegal58

I've never really minding missing meat so much SA, it's the dairy (especially good cheese) that I miss. ☹️

I’m very impressed you have managed staying vegan for as long as you have, 👍

I must have missed the bit about you going vegan. I need to lose weight but find the ww and sw type things just make me feel like im on a diet so vant wait to get off it. I need to stick to proper portion sizes and stop snacking
