I've almost stopped shopping at sainsburys now it's not convenient. I expect to get a love letter anyway saying they miss me.
What are you going to do with the bathroom if this is the more exciting room to redo?2 -
Nothing astonishing, I just prefer bathrooms to kitchens 🤣! Both are currently equally impractical and disheartening!

Bleurgh, really struggling with Dry January this evening. I know it's a marathon, not a sprint/healthy habits are built over a lifetime/it's not all feast or famine/it's not as though I'm at a point where one drink will make my liver explode etc etc etc, but I really should be able to go a month without a drink if I want to! And it's only Day 12 🙁Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Is it the drink you are missing or the routine? Can something else take the place which will fulfill the "need"4

I only managed a #3 position this year at Sains - for Nando's Garlic Perinaise - but we don't go there often now.

I am still revelling in my #1 position 😀 I usually go to Sainsbury's most weeks, but I'll only get 2 or 3 things (what I can't get from Lidl). Evidently no-one else round my way has cottoned on to the imitation halloumi!
KP, it's the general feeling of calm and relaxation. Especially on a Friday, as it feels like a marker that work is over and the weekend has started. Anyway, I felt a bit happier once I had pizza in my belly, so I managed to power on through on willpower for another night 👍Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
