    Morning Campers,

    I booked my food delivery today so I could use the time before work well. It was my alarm! Everything packed away now…
    I’ve noticed it is harder to get good offers (although I have) I also notice everything is getting smaller. All my beans and pulses used to be 420 grams and are now 400 grams

    I got in heavy, bulky things and household supplies, but no protein for meals as I find it relatively easy to get this as YS. I struggle to get YS veg so I am ordering my veggies at least once a month as organic veggies or even non organic are harder to get YS. Fruit I can pay full price unless I get a YS windfall but I am more concerned about eating enough veggies.

    I am WFH today. It is cold so my heating is on. It will go off at 9.00 and I will make do with a hot water bottle, a lap blanket, fingerless gloves and a tiny heater in the room. WFH agrees with me like Cumbria Lass says, so I think it is worth it. Next week is a whole WFH week :)

    Back later to report on my achievements (she says full of early morning optimism)

    Stay warm everyone :)

    I'm WFH for a few hours too, also freezing. Full thermals, fingerless gloves and a blanket over my lap. I look a bag lady and I am still cold. Useless cats refuse to sit on me.

    Yup Redo I'm looking like a bag lady and still cold too.
    I'm going to up my game and buy thermals this week. I saw some cheap ones in Primarni and sneered at them. Not sneering now :)

    I don't have cats to sit on me..

    I don't care what they look like as long as i am warm. Mine are old lady ones, nice and thin and perfect for the job at about £2 each. I have some 'quality' ones as well, from go outdoors at about £10 which do the same job and would be less embarrassing in the event of a road accident/ambulance scenario ;) Mind you I would be less miffed about having the £2 ones cut off me...

    Haha. I'm going for the cheap ones. Less likely to have a road accident and more likely to die of hypothermia so shame won't be an issue. So cold and only November! I can WFH next week all week but if it is this cold I might go in!

    I hope the cats oblige you soon :)

    TBH I bought the primari ones last year & they were not the best.
    So now I just use an old top/tshirt as an extra layer.

    Hope your day went well.
