Everyone loves a bargain

 

I decided that since face masks were staying I'd see if I could find a silk one. Amazon, of course, came to the rescue. Each purchase also donated a meal to a child in the UK and in India. It's breathable material and soft, silky and a little bit lush. Although it's also a little bit warm. Might be handier in the winter - which is coming fast! 

I am such a slag for a bargain. The other day I only needed milk and kitchen roll. Morrisons had an offer for a 3 pack for £3! A bargain as a 2 pack was £3.50 (a little bit crazy). And I also had an extra points voucher on the app for farmers milk. So I went to Morrisons (taking the chance that I wouldn't buy anything else that I might happen to see - which is something I always do, annoyingly). So it is only an extra couple of miles but of course they had none of the kitchen roll or the right milk! What a waste of time - but I had to go that little bit further just to save a few pennies. But I did resist buying anything else (after my mate bet me I couldn't lol). Talking of being a sucker for a bargain I can think of at least 6 clothing items that I've purchased in a sale never to have worn... (Because they were bought in a size smaller than I am, d'oh)... Yet! 

Hubby took me to a nice hotel for the night (or rather I took him, well I dragged him). Things post covid are a little different. Obviously we all know about face masks and hand sanitizer but there's more. Paper cups and plastic cups in the room for your tea/coffee and water. No throws, cushions or other nice soft furnishings. Some furniture removed. Sit down breakfast - served with everything - juice, fruit, cereal, pastries etc as well as the cooked stuff as usual. No help yourself at all. It was fine though. Staff very busy serving of course. Dinner was good (risotto) - half price under the government scheme plus free prosecco and dessert (lemon tart for me). Nice time but just not the same as what we're used to. 

This was my second meal out. Had another half pricer on Monday with friends (garlic mushrooms on ciabatta then chicken fillets with chips). It's no wonder I'm struggling to get back into the diet! However I am not giving up and I will get back soon. I will! I keep trying, but eating is such fun. Much more fun that dieting!
