    Thanks @Skint_yet_Again @joeyjimbles @Humdinger1 @liselle for sharing your experiences. I need to get a handle on this and will find a way 😊

    This morning I had a lovely walk and saw the sea first thing.

    I walked to Mr L and got a veg box. Actually is mostly fruit but that's ok too. It was all things I would use except for one item I dislike that I gave away. The best thing is a YS (-50%) organic chicken. There were two so one is in the freezer and one is in the SC with veggies

    TODAY

    Start emptying water in outside bin

    Reset budgets

    Cleaning windows

    Hoovering and setting moth thingies

    Book or ask friend to book

    Happy Tuesday!

    Sorry if I misunderstood, didn't mean to sound patronising! Just thinking out loud in case it helped you clarify your thinking on it 🙂

    I haven't noticed an increase in my online advertising since starting using it and haven't received spam to that email address

    Have a terrific Tuesday 🍻

    My Lid! box was heavy on fruit too, it's fair to say I won't be buying apples or satsumas for a while 😆

    I don't sell on Vinted either, it's just not worth the hassle for me. I sold a few bits on eBay in the past but it's a lot of work for little return unless you've got something very popular to sell. I just donate my stuff to charity shops now. I admire those who do well out of it though.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    I always follow my mother`s mantra on cake sharing. One person cuts and one person chooses. This stops life being unfair re cake!

    Thinking of you and hoping life is treating you well.

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Just hoping everything is alright and you will be back soon. Slightly worried now as you usually let us know when you are off having adventures.

    Wd, I've often thought this. When someone stops posting, there's no way of knowing why
