Books & Boots

We needed some more lateral flow test kits (vain hope, I know) so I popped to the village.  There were none to be had anywhere, of course, but I am running out of toothpaste so gave Boots pharmacy a visit too. I also bought some antibac hand wipes which I left in the shed at the allotment, very handy for when we want to eat a sandwich after gardening there 😎


I spent points worth £5.93, leaving £1.48 That will be enough to buy 3 more boxes of paracetamol over the next couple of weeks and will save using the food budget.....


The library had no test kits either but I did spot the new Barbara Erskine book that I fancied as well as a very interesting looking Rosie Clarke.  I'm not familiar with the author but the book looks promising. Has anyone read it?


I tried to borrow a book called Broke Vegan  as well which had some tasty looking(cheap!) vegan recipes in it but, when I scanned it, the machine gave out the message that it was booked by another person 😔 so I couldn't borrow it. Drat....

Food shopping tomorrow which I'm quite looking forward to 😃


Thanks for popping in and stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x

    You can request LFT tests on the NHS covid website. They are free and delivered to you in 2 days. Hope this helps.

    I find that I look forward to food shopping more when I'm doing a Challenge. There's something a lot more interesting about it when you have to think more about what you are buying instead of just lobbing things into the trolley.

    Thanks for reminding me I need to pick up another rapid test box here the next time I am shopping.

    God bless.

  • Veg War and An Education in Sewing
    It's difficult not to notice the veg price war going on at the moment.  When I popped into Sainsburys there was a whole load of veg bags...
  • Election Duty & Frugal Doings
    My new herb pot! It was election day in the UK on Thursday and I was lucky enough to be employed for the day as Poll Clerk in my local area....
  • Catching up & Growing On....
    Gosh, has it only been a week since Easter Sunday?  It somehow feels much longer. A big thank you to those who left comments on my last coup...
