    It does look lush @LadyWithAPlan, hoping as ever with these things that it doesn't actually make any noticeable difference as amazing posh products are not in the budget plan!

    Well you could count adding the Stilton to the pizza as a recipe 😆

    I used to be a tester for the Beauty Bible books and received regular parcels of full sized products to test. Some of them were really high end and I can’t say I found any of them were that great to tempt me to buy them. I recently used a small pot of N1vea bog standard cream I found in my toiletries stash and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed using it, it felt lovely on my skin. So just goes to show…

    Doesn't it just @Sun_Addict! @beanielou I was disappointed with nivea as used one of their lip balms and it felt like glue, and not good quality glue either. Then recently started using a different nivea lip balm I got for Christmas and it is so good, glad it's made me get back onboard

    Ugh, what a thoroughly wintery day. You know it's February when the rain, snow and hail don't have enough space to all fall vertically at the same time so have to arrange themselves into diagonal cross sections

    Joints especially knee still somewhat dire so just quarter wussy situps and a 30 minute walk today. Picked up from olio a dark pink sequin flamenco bird keyring, because it made me laugh. Dropped off a wee vinted sale

    Usuals, four surveys, two receipt surveys

    Did some wholesome cooking of a veggie chilli, gave a portion to mum when she came round for a cuppa and a mince pie (on the last box now!). She dropped off the free paper for the crossword

    Laundry

    Got a free toothpaste sample in the post

    Happy Friday all 🍻

    So much posher (& nicer) than my key ring.which is an RNLI one.  Designed to float if you drop it in the sea.  Given to me by a friend when I was telling her about almost dropping my car keys into a grid whilst opening my garage door.
