Progress not Perfection

Not sure if you will have room for it or not but the freezer we have in the garage is an upright type rather than a chest freezer. Its like a normal upright fridge freezer but is all freezer compartment.

Much more handy for storing food, plus as I'm on the short side I can reach everything that is in it!

It's one of these:

We have had ours a fair few years now. It was cheaper when we bought it at the beginning of Covid!!

Are the veggie burgers fresh or frozen? I need to look out for these, not seen them in our branch

They're in the fresh section where the hummus and coleslaw are kept, often on the top shelf so not easily noticeable.

Thank you that's worth considering. I was thinking about how I'd get to anything stored right at the bottom as I'm only 5'1 😆 I really rate Beko, all my kitchen appliances are now Beko. I think others are cottoning on now as the prices seem to be going up. My Beko washing machine is ancient and in use at least once a day and it still keeps chugging on. I had an engineer out to my dishwasher a couple of months ago (user error!) and he said they're one of the best makes out there at the moment.

Oh my days we were out ages this morning. Left the house at 8.30 and didn't get back until 12. The vets was heaving, so many big dogs! My dog hates big dogs and was beside herself. The ear infection still hasn't fully cleared there's still a few crusty bits deep in her ear canal so I've got to massage behind her ear when I administer the drops to try and loosen it. I have to take her back for another check up a week on Saturday. At least there was no charge this time. 

Mr SA wanted his usual Gr£ggs coffee and sausage roll while he was waiting for me to nip round BnM. When I came out he had randomly decided he wanted a pair of canvas baseball boots!! No idea where this has come from, most likely he saw someone wearing some and it's set him off. So this is his latest pester 😬

He was due a new pester 😂
Sports Direct often does less known brands for cheaper (and often less good quality but may not be an issue if he's not walking in them much) and Converse does, I think, a 15% new customer offer or (I think) 25% off if it's your birthday but you have to have signed up about a month beforehand

I used to have one like that & it was fantastic.

For some time I've been looking for small wine glasses as all the ones I had broke. Everywhere I looked only had packs of 6 and I only wanted a couple. I stopped off at the big Mr T on the way back from the vets and they had small wine glasses for 40p each so I picked two up. I was being extra careful packing away the bit of shopping I had and you know what happens when you're over careful - yes I knocked one of the glasses over and broke it!  Can you believe it! Anyway the checkout assistant kindly let me replace it free of charge so all's well that ends well. Let's see how long they last me 🤣

I think I pay c50p per Prosecco glass in MrM but I break them in the DW regularly. Hope you have more luck with your new wine glasses

Olio regularly has free listings of people offering a few random glasses so may be worth keeping an eye out there to replenish your stocks when needed.
Nice of the checkout person to let you replace it for free 😊

The thing is I never break the big wine glasses just the small ones 😞

In social news I now have 4 catch ups with friends in the diary for the next 4 weeks 🥂 One being next week when I will finally get to meet my Scottish team mate who I speak to most days but have never met in real life. She is coming down here. We always have a laugh over the phone so will be brilliant to see her. 

In eczema news the cream I got yesterday and the anti-histamine tablets have done wonders. I’m a tablet dodger and refuse to take anything unless desperate but can see what a difference they’ve made. Hopefully this has prevented me from having to resort to going to the doctors and ending up on steroids.
