Food was lovely, best part it only cost £2.50 and the leftovers are now in the freezer. I would definitely recommend using the app with this deal if they deliver in your area (the MSE weekly email gives details how to check). My area also includes a few convenience stores so you can get £15 of basic groceries for the price of delivery (some of mine £1.49 some £2.49, price varies depending how far you live from the store) Offer ends 25 July.Usual routine today, walked the dog, worked from home 9-3. One load of washing dried outside.Plans for the weekendHoover dog carpet & stairsCut grassMop kitchen floorPour boiling water on patio weeds

Erm, does that help with shedding? What a well behaved dog you have!

She does love the hoover and lays out on the carpet in front of it and falls asleep! I think it’s the repetitive backward & forward motion & the sound 😴It’s sunny & bright outside. The forecast is dry but clouding over later. I’m just putting the towels on to wash. Then I will do the dog towels separately later in a big net wash bag with a dog hair dissolver.Am making some cheese & bacon turnovers with a pack of puff pastry £1.00, savers bacon £1.15 & some grated cheese about 50p total £2.65 for 6 = 45p each approx. Will have one for breakfast & freeze the rest once cooled
Also forgot to add, my prime morresons order came with free delivery & they had put 2 of each pack of chocolate in when I only ordered & paid for 1 of each! Not very healthy 😆 but £3 worth free. I now have 6 multi packs of chocolate I will try not to eat it all at once 😉0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I want a curry now! Hoping the curry house up the road opens soon so I can try them.
Think we will all be coming round for afternoon tea SYA.
Bonus with the shopping, free chocolate tastes even better than normal 😁

Hello SyA
Wow, you are busy! I hope you get that toilet sorted, mine does that sometimes so I take the cistern lid off, and, I think the technical term is 'jiggle it' until it stops flushing. It has worked for now, but, might only be a temporary fix.... Hope that helps in the meantime..."...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth..."
