I imagine you are in extra need of good nutrition now you are doing so many steps! If you have a freezer at the flat, could you do some portioned-out home made soups to balance out the nutrients?
We don't have much choice on TGTG either but it's slowly developing. I've only actually used Olio for the Iceland discounts, but those are very useful so long as I stick to healthy stuff and resist the doughnuts.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I did forget to mention a good Olio pickup. I got two conical ceramic mugs locally for free. They can technically be used as travel mugs also, they're just a bit big for the cup holder in the van.
Having fun this morning and last night pretend shopping for stuff for the flat. I'm not actually buying anything, just speculating on what I might get. Nothing really has to be bought straight away except for bed stuff.
The insurance I bought came with an £80 voucher which just arrived, so that will probably be put toward flat stuff.
I was thinking this week I would try and get the allotment cleared so I can hand it back. I'd like to be ahead of deadline on something lol. Although I did have it planned for 7am then realised when I got up this morning at 6.45 that it is very much dark at that time.
I should probably rest today, I do have food shopping to do and laundry. And getting myself set up for the week. Teacup is over visiting so I might get away with hanging out by myself today.1
