I had to pour away half a carton of almond milk as my husband hadn't used it within the week. I stopped drinking tea and so it's just been him putting milk on his cereal. I will make sure he doesn't do that again as it's such a waste!:mad:

Can you freeze Almond milk? When he has a new carton can you put half of it into a clean ordinary milk bottle and freeze it? My OH works away from home and I do this sometimes with 4 pints of ordinary milk as it's so much cheaper than buying 2 pt bottles.

Today a nice man came and Kondoed the stuff that our vendors had left in the garage when we completed. Unfortunately this was at the (small) cost of the estate agents as the vendors are not answering their calls. Luckily for us, the agents had a better sense of right and wrong than their clients and they agreed to take the hit.

Have had quite a busy week, but made sure I had a paperwork session, plenty for the re-cycling and also loads for the shredder. Still a lot to do, but I know that I will feel much lighter when I have worked through it. Nothing sentimental, but it does include a lot from my last job where the company folded and I was owed money. I have known for a couple of years that I was not going to get the dosh, but left the paperwork stashed in a bag in the eaves storage:o:o

Wednesday - I use almond milk and find that it lasts easily for 2 weeks in the fridge.

I threw away two old incense holders yesterday as I have three and I'm going to stop buying incense anyway and just use my essential oil diffuser instead.

He can usually use a whole carton in a week if he has cereal a few times. He puts lots of milk in. It's just that I wasn't monitoring it and making sure he was drinking it. I will make sure he drinks it all next time or I will stop buying it for him, lol.

I saw powdered almond milk in the health food shop when I was in there today if that helps.

^Interesting, I've never seen that before.

I have used up one of my moisturisers already as it must have been near the end. I have put another one by the kitchen sink to use after washing my hands. I get dry hands as I have five animals and wash my hands a lot during the day!:p

I'm hoping to kondo another book this weekend as I'm going out on Monday to bring the donation bags to the charity shop.

Kondoing a mattress protector today into pillow protectors. The bit that fitted over the mattress was like glorified jcloth and split so going to upcycle! DGD picked up her jeans that I'd mended so they're out of the house. I couldn't resist pulling her leg when I told her I'd also mended all the tears in the legs - the expression of horror on her face until she realised I was joking - Bad Nan

Today I plan a busy day attacking the food cupboard,office and stupid walk in bathroom cupboard that is jut too handy to dump stuff in:mad:

It will probably be too much but I need a distraction this weekend. I do have a heap of work work to to do but have so far ignored that.....:o cant concentrate.

Yesterday I had to take our much loved rescue pet for his final trip to the vet. He had been part of our lives for 12 years - DDs had grown up with him - and had given us much joy. After a shaky start with previous owner, he had a good life with us. Today we will be burying him in his favourite sunny spot in the garden. Neither OH and I are sentimental and it was the right thing to do . However he was a real character and will be greatly missed. It has hit my OH really hard.

Yesterday was a sad day and today will be difficult as we clear up his things - hence the need for a distraction. In the last couple of weeks we had to do a lot of "adaptions" to the house as he had become very disorientated and confused - he kept getting stuck behind furniture or 'trapped' behind curtains. His 'adopted' brother and partner in crime is moping around the house looking for him too even though for the last month of his life he never looked at his little friend and shoved him out of the way when the little one tried to snuggle up:(
