I've had to have a look at my Sainsbreeze app now. My top three items
Longley Farm Cottage cheese
Low sugar summer fruits squash
WW chocolate wafers
This makes me seem very saintlyThe reality is I only shop in Sainsbreeze for specific items that they don't sell Aldi or bits we have forgotten.

I got my strava year through too. @South_coast and @ruby_eskimo
I went out a lot less than in 2019 but I’m still pleased I got out there!4 -
I've had the DIY pyjamas out this afternoon....😀
After feeling "housebarrassment" on a video call again the other day (with thanks to Wickes for giving it a name 🤣), I suddenly remembered I had some white emulsion knocking around, so opened it up, gave it a REALLY GOOD stir, and have painted the section of wall behind where I sit 😀 The finish is terrible, as the extent of my prep was to wash the wall with sugar soap and the paint had been open for about 4 years, but it's all one colour and that's as much as will be noticeable on a call! And no trip to Wickes required 😀! Winning!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Why were you housebarrassed? Do people actually bother with looking into the background anymore? I know I did at first but now I do not care one little bit. Unless there's a cat, then I ignore work and it's all about the cat.7

Well the wall was two different colours - and both strange ones at that. It was different in my old job, as I'd been there for a long time and people had heard me speaking about the fact that the place needs work, so didn't think twice about it looking a state. With Covid, they've been minimising the people in the office at this job, so there are some people I've never met who are more likely to be gawping, thinking "Who's this woman???" - so with me looking scruffy anyway without my hair and make-up done and work clothes on, I didn't want my walls letting me down as well!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I had to rearrange my office so the scruffy stepladders were no longer in the camera line of sight... do not ask me why that is where we keep the stepladders!4

I'm just impressed you have multiple stepladders! One is never enough, eh 🤣?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
