    “A slight massacre” 😂😂😂 Great phrase!
    The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many biscuits but only in a small way. 😂

    Extra garlic is ALWAYS a good thing PiP - good call there!

    Also good plan to treat yourself gently while pain levels are higher than normal. 

    Might have rampaged through a packet of biscuits ourselves a few days ago!

  • Absolutely exhausted from period and life, got some small bits done though. More biscuits may have been massacred in the making of this list

    Two surveys
    Comping

    24 minute walk, found two McMo tokens

    Checked my PB, no luck this month which is a bit rubbish as was rather hoping for £25 or £50 to put towards flu and covid jabs. Will have to hope for some unexpected good fortune from elsewhere

    I did however win a random £10 shopping voucher so at least I can cover getting us a nice supermarket dinner or a small Christmas gift

    Six minute walk returning an unsuitable Christmas gift for mum. Hope this isn't going to turn into a palaver- Debenhams have said they'll waive the 1.99 return fee but we'll see. Probably wouldn't have ordered from them if I'd been made aware they charge to return.
    Found a square textured glass fruit bowl

    Survey on what the government should do about the Middle East. Tbh while like all humans I think my opinion is definitely right, I really don't think the government should be basing international policy regarding war on the (hopefully) lesser informed likes of me, especially via surveys for 70p

    Going to meet a best friend for a couple of beers in a bit, not good for budget but definitely good for wellbeing. Happily she's being kind and coming my way so don't need to pay fares or take my uterus or period tummy on public transport

    Friday tomorrow, hopefully it'll be a decent one for us all

    Dear PiP.
    Hear this: Biscuits are for eating. They have no other purpose. You are merely helping them avoid baked goods unfulfillment.

    @foxgloves is right. 

    Completely with you on the 70p opinion request. It seems very wrong to me. 

    Hope the beers are enjoyable

    The first ingredient was tomato puree. I also looked at hamburger patties which had bamboo fibre in it

    I hate it when companies charge a return fee, I don’t even like delivery charges, wish they’d just add it to the cost so you don’t know you’re paying for it 😐

    Have a lovely catch up with your friend.
