    Eeek! I was unable to get to L!dls this morning; 3 out of 4 routes down into the city were out of action with roadworks and the 4th was (unsurprisingly) gridlocked. So I went sideways to the nearest Sainsbobs, knowing that they're the most reasonable for the tea that's best for our hard water. Net result, I've ended up with about half of what I was looking for, for very little less than I normally spend! £88.97 spent and lots yet to buy... 🙁 

    Worse still, it was actually more than that but a proportion of it was for the festive stash, so from a different fund. I don't yet know how much less it would have been from L!dls but I can't get back there until next week & didn't want to find they'd sold out, which happened last year. Sigh...

    ...but at least I've finally got my cake in the oven 😏

    300/550  half way through so doable.  I have stocked up on beans and grains so should be ok.  I go from 23rd to 23rd.
