    How about the battery handheld type, maybe with something round it to increase the grip size.
    Hope your shift passes quickly later.

    Just finished work am shattered. Got a few quick meals in aldee and it’s much cooler so I am having half a chilli chicken pizza £1.25 and a couple of mini chicken Kiev £1.39 for 15  / slice of garlic bread (10 slices 65p). The other half of the pizza will be for lunch tomorrow. 

    I bought some fish £1.99, broccoli 39p cauli 79p and some frozen butternut squash 65p. I am going to try making a fish stew in my slow cooker tomorrow with some milk & then will make a sauce with soft cheese (like philly 59p). I also got some tropical sugar free cans of drink similar to lilt 6 for £1.25. 

    Total spend was £39.34 including meat fish fruit veg, 4 pints milk, potatoes rice butter salad cheese, 12 eggs, kitchen roll & box tissues. Should be enough for 2 weeks meals. Will batch cook in the morning.

    It’s much cooler here today 🤗 after much thunder & rain in the night. 

    Have been out with the dog walking for about an hour on the paths around the common.  Fish stew is on in the slow cooker. Am just about to hang out some washing. No plans for the rest of the day.

    Stew tastes lush 😋 but the sun has come out and it’s boiling 🥵 too hot to eat it. Will portion it up & freeze. Probably have cold meat & salad for tea. 

    Have been relaxing watching some of the olympics mostly gymnastics & swimming between tidying & sorting the dishes (unloading & reloading the dishwasher)

    Have checked online banking and £23.12 left after shopping comes off. Should only need milk & fruit before payday

    Meat salad sounds good and that's plenty of money until payday.
