#BlogLife964 - Surprise

There's not many perks with my bank, they offer a rewards scheme for places I don't visit.

But I forgot that for once they did an Iceland cashback thingy and I use that regularly so got back £11.

I think I had a few quid in there and I could have chosen an Amazon voucher but trying to be practical so just added it to my balance.

If they had Just Eat, I would have gone for it. I just did an Iceland shop and to stretch it out, thought I'd add a twist to the sandwiches/burgers.

I was going to get the turkey bacon rashers but what was cheaper was the turkey ham slices, so I'm going to add that to the chicken or beef burgers so I don't get bored of eating the same thing.

I always feel better double checking there's definitely no pork inside it.

For once I have a condiment, so the mustard should pair nicely with it, might add cheese too.

I should have got some olives and maybe egg mayonnaise to vary the fillings even more.

But a big chunk of the budget went on kitchen rolls, buy 2 get 1 free.

Expensive but it lasts and is durable for my hands. The Playtime app I will leave until it gets to £20 and maybe give Mama an Amazon voucher for Christmas.

I'm not sure what I'll get her or I could redeem it and do the usual personal hamper full of treats for her.

I downloaded 5 games but I mainly play monopoly go and phase 10 rummy.

The rest get dull really quickly. Oh I discovered a new period drama that looks fun called The Forsytes.

It seems to be kinda identical to The Forsyth Saga I think it was called, a really old show I watched recently.

I wonder if it will end in tragedy? I enjoy it, no real spice but can't have everything and it has a narrator like Bridgerton too ha, copycats.

I was a bit gutted, Iceland seemed to not deliver the wholemeal rolls for the sandwiches but then I found a pack, turns out they substituted it, so that's a blessing.

I'm still getting the neighbour's post, getting indoors and then realising I have to go back out to re-deliver, some of the neighbours are just disgusting, instead of re-posting it, they just drop it on the floor.

Heinous creatures, I'm glad I'm not like that.

I saw some different vegan sausage rolls to try by the No Meat Company £1.75 for a 2 pack.

I wonder how it will compare to Linda McCartney, Greggs and Quorn.

Quorn might be my favourite. I've been buying and loving vegan options of these since I was a teenager and preferring them over pork.

The limited edition turkey one was excellent though. I'll probably try it this weekend when I want a snack.

I wonder if turkey ham will taste the same as the turkey bacon rasher?

So the turkey ham packs a wallop, very turkey, no fake ham flavour, nice but rashers are less pronounced so better.

I would not get it again, I need something other than overwhelming turkey.

I thought the turkey ham, mustard, cheese thing would go better but it didn't, it suited the chicken more, strange.

Actually I'm not keen on it at all. I finally finished the scented body butter so now onto the lemon.

I can't get over the disgusting smell, seems ok, thick enough, my elbows are cracking as usual.
