Ah sorry to hear your feeling rough x
A few people find the MSG seasoning in Chinese takeaways disagrees with them (alrhough that might be more headaches maybe?) but if it's consistent with different takeaways might be the fat content. Obvs if it gets worse or more frequent it's a GP job and onward referral.
But the plus side - money saved on takeaways. On DF diaries we can find a silver lining in anything 😂

I'm not a morning person but today I had to drop the car to the garage at 8am. I decided to take the dogs and walk back with them as they didn't get a walk yesterday (one is lead reactive so we usually tend to walk late at night or when it's raining).
I wondered if this might make me consider being a morning person. It did not. I'm lying on my sofa dozing off, not showered and not in work clothes. I should have started work at 9. I'm definitely not a morning person!! 😄Debts 04/01/25 01/10/25

Oosh! The brakes cost a little more than I had set aside so £40 will have to come out of the emergency fund, but that's what it's there for I guess.
I'm quite proud of myself for managing to keep £200 in my account for 21 days and not spending it! Oh how I've changed!Debts 04/01/25 01/10/25

Cars are a money pit! How are you feeling today x

A bit run down and sore still but much better @LzzyIsGod
WFH today so lots of work admin and life admin to do. I've stopped noticing my fridge list so I need to find another way of reminding myself of tasks for a while.
I need to tackle some big effort things this weekend, either sorting a load of my dad's stuff or doing a tip run (or both).
I made an impulse purchase last night (probably partly because I was feeling sorry for myself), which took up all my daily treat money for the weekend, but half price vinyl?? Who's going to ignore that? Not the most sensible thing to do but they're a favourite band (best gig of my life) and they've broken up so not like I could buy the stuff in the future when I'm better off. £27 is totally worth it (Says the woman who wore a top with holes under the arms to work yesterday).
Happy bank holiday everyone!Debts 04/01/25 01/10/25

Positively hygienic to have ventilation holes in your clothing. And it's nice that they match the holes in the vinyl for the spindle. Synchronicity that ishttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

In other news I listed a few more things on Vinted, each thing for a pound or two. Someone has actually asked if I would accept 50p on one of the £1 necklaces. I mean, you've got to love a trier, but seriously????Debts 04/01/25 01/10/25

In your settings on vinted you can allow bundle deals so a buyer gets a discount if they buy 2, 3 or 5 items, and you can set the percentage discount. Maybe put that on to your choosing then say their offer would sadly cost you more than you'd get what with travel etc but if they'd like to buy anything else they're welcome to use your bundle discount offer...
If you want to, go to your profile, go to settings, then go to bundle discounts and choose which quantity and percentage suits you
