I don' like just natural yogurt either and always add honey to it too. I didn't think of buying one with honey in! I have the dairy free version and it is really nice.
Hope work is ok tomorrow x
Im actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow so I can talk to people😂DD is still not speaking to me, she hasn't said a word to me since Saturday lunch time,I am being naughty though because I keep doing things that I know will annoy her knowing she can't say anything.........petty ..........maybe but it's keeping me entertained 😂
My best friend will be at work tomorrow so we can have a catch up and put the world to rights while we are making beds, we normally meet up for coffee or visit each other at home but obviously we can't at the moment ,it's very handy and lucky that we work together 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8947 -
Lol at you being petty with your daughter. Totally the sort of thing I do. My 16yr old was vile this morning, so I kept being super jolly knowing she hates that 😂
I am with you on the never shopping for non essentials again. Although I did order some stuff from a garden centre today. Well a friend did, and got about five of us to join in, its been delivered to hers so I will collect it tomorrow morning. Apparently its in her garage so all above board. And I want to make the front garden a bit nicer if we do decide to sell later this year.Debt free Feb 2021 🎉5 -
I hope Babs is ok 🙏
I didn’t used to like natural yogurt until I tried Skyr, it’s gorgeous, so creamy.It certainly feels weird buying non essentials right now but really why should it. The shops are desperate for our custom and we need to keep them going if we can.
Hope you had a good day at work today and enjoyed your catch up with your bestie xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
I'm with you on the Skyr, Sun_Addict.... I get through 2 big pots a week! Hard to believe it's fat free.

Doing a bulk order with friends is a good idea, it saves them having to deliver to multiple addresses, my local garden centre are doing delivery but you have to spend £40 and while I could easily spend that much I don't want to at the moment 😊Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -

I haven't tried Skyr yogurt, I will try that next time, they are meant to be high in protein 😊
Maybe I will go back to M&S and see if they have got any leggings or joggers I can wear to and from work, hopefully the fitting rooms will be open
It was good seeing my bestie today,we had a good laugh 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944 -
Glad you got to see your bestie. That must be good. I love my work colleagues and the team I am working with now so it is really making my work day so much better having them to have a good laugh with. Hope Babs is ok. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Babs is looking ok today, I soaked some chicken pellets in warm water to see if she would eat that and she did eat some of it so that's a good sign😊Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8943 -
I was woken up at 6.30 today by pouring rain, I left my bedroom window open last night because I was too warm, I have trees outside the bedroom window and I do enjoy listening to the sound of the rain falling through the leaves, I did fall asleep again though and didn't wake up until 11.30🙀🙀🙀
I was supposed to be popping up to my mum and dads today but because it was chucking it down I cancelled and will be going on Saturday,Mum wants some more hand gel and I have a pile of magazines for her, she is bored so they should keep her occupied for a bit, I needn't have cancelled though because since I decided to stay at home the sun has come out, I took B out for a walk when I got up and it chucked it down 🙄as soon as I got home again the sun came out
Ive been up the garden today to clean out the chicken run and I've put the stuff I cleaned out in the compost bin,I haven't looked at my compost bin for ages and I'm pleased to say that the compost that's in there is looking really good, I'm going to remove some of it soon to put in my raised bed, it's getting quite full so I need to make room for more garden waste, it's one of those Dalek shaped bins and you remove the compost via a door at the bottom, the door fell off a while ago but the compost is still in place, it's looks really good at the bottom,I gave the top a good stir today,I must look like a witch stirring a massive cauldron 😀
I also ended up hoovering again today, mainly because the sycamore trees at the front of my house drop seeds everywhere at this time of year and they stick to our shoes,I have a very good doormat outside my front door ,but DD never remembers to wipe her shoes and B obviously doesn't wipe her feet so these seeds get tracked into the door way and then transferred to the living room carpet, I'm the only one who remembers to wipe their feet when I come in the house 🙄 I've given up reminding DD about it now
I also can home from work to a completely messy kitchen last night, I left it to see if DD would clean it up before she went to bed but it was all still there this morning so I cleaned the kitchen as well today, she is trying to wind men up and I'm not biting
I'm quite tired today even though I slept well last night,I think it's because I woke up late as that never ends wellOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -
Great news that she is eating.
I love it when you have a good relationship with the people around you. It really does make it easier. x
