Apologies, I meant a lot of the people from Arms are hanging out in Old Style.

Ah ok. Thought there might be a new thread. I think a lot have gone to another forum. 😕

Played with the dog this morning before work. DS & gf took her to forest this afternoon so I rested & had a snooze. 

British Gas asked for my opening meter readings yesterday by text & said I could give them online which I did, setting up my online account. Then at 10pm last night I had an email asking for my meter readings! So I sent them again and had another text asking for them again. So I have now sent them 3 times so hopefully things should run smoothly from now on ! 

I need some salad & fruit and a few bits next week. DS & gf have already done their shopping so I’ve ended up doing a small online shop. Had to spend £15 to get delivery & had to pay £3.99 for delivery so total spend £19.09.  I had £10 left so have gone over budget by £9.09. I will use some of my remaining entertainment budget instead of using it on a takeaway. It should be delivered between 9am-11am tomorrow. 

Tonight I’m having Oven fish & chips and mushy peas. The peas are morresons savers 15p. If they are nice I can manage half a tin and will freeze the rest in a freezer bag for next time. The fish were a box of 4 for £3 from my last grocery order. So at least I’ve saved a bit instead of ordering in from the chippy 😊

They may come back when things open up here again.

One thing I did like about BG was they text to ask for meter readings, you text them and the bill comes, rather than having to do it online, they also do a prompt a few days before the 14 days are up if they haven't been submitted. Never had any problems with submitting them.

I can highly recommend the potato lattice and spicy wedges (the garlic ones are a fake garlic taste) from M and that's where I get my Chinese dumplings from. All in the freezer section.

It's the weekend at last.

Morning all 😊 Yes SW hurrah it’s the weekend! 

I’ve been awake since 5am, fed the dog & had a cup of tea but can’t get back to sleep. Have just heard from prime about my morresons shop & had a text about ham out of stock but they have offered a cheaper alternative which I have accepted. Hopefully nothing else will be out of stock. Delivery should be 9-11am. 

Edit - my shopping has been completed & 1 item out of stock without replacement (2 egg custard tarts 😕) together with the ham substitute brings shopping to £17.79 so just £7.79 over shopping budget. 

Plans for today 
-Try & get net curtain down from my bedroom window 

- sort more stuff for the tip. DS was ill with a headache/ migraine/ vomiting and so they couldn’t go to their scheduled appointment & will have to rebook. 

- hoover dog carpet 
- scrub patio

Have a good day everyone 🤗

Not the egg custard!
I think the products vary as I've just looked into it and for me it's mainly store cupboard items, not fresh cakes, ham etc. The only fresh veg was okra. But having looked through a few of the pages there was a lot of things I normally buy 🤗

Hope DS feels better soon, get him to try and sip very cold water and take soluble painkillers as he can sip a bit of that too rather than losing the tablets because of being sick.

Can GF take the net down for you, if you can't manage it? 

I hope you've got nice weather to sit outside after your tasks 🌞

Yes my favourite 😭

Sorry should have said tip run was meant to be Monday.  DS was fine after a night off work & slept it off. 

Make sure you are looking at “prime now” which is fresh meat, veg, cakes etc and not amazon pantry which is just mainly store cupboard items. 

It’s brightening up a bit now. Just waiting for delivery.
