#BlogLife998 - Easing into the New Year

Well after the protein treatment on my lenses, I guess they are a lil more comfy, I'm not streaming with tears but I still feel them but an improvement is welcome relief.

How is it when you're half asleep in winter and wake up, you're warm enough under a thick duvet but as soon as you fully alert, you're frozen?

I'm still trying to warm up, it's so cold, I double checked the heating was even on but it is and so is the blankie, slowly getting hotter.

I decided to briefly browse the freezer and I didn't know what to munch so I grabbed some mini veggy spring rolls and samosas chucked them in the oven for 16 minutes and just had them with the creamy onion and garlic dip, so so good.

I forgot it's the weekend and I don't need to put up anything, will probably save this for Monday.

It's been ages since I did an oil treatment for my hair, I should do that soon as it feels a bit dry.

The only chores to do is putting away the washing for them to dry and some light mopping, everywhere else is tidy.

Oh and I should wipe down the sink too. I've been doing spot cleaning so there isn't much left on my agenda, which makes it manageable.

Ah the landlord's number was functioning so I checked my texts and it's back open from Christmas so I just paid my rent, checked my balance and as I thought, the last of the savings is dwindling down, last lot left and then completely broke.

Now is the time to wean off getting takeout, for real this time, so I can have a lil stored for emergencies like a new laptop or microwave.

Iceland had a bunch of new stuff not even advertised in the dedicated section and I still didn't know what I was in the mood for, so bought random things.

There was a Haribo funny mix bag going for 50p half price I guess but it wasn't in stock.

The Belvita honey and nut chocolate chips cereal bar was on offer 5x £1, saving 25p, I don't know if it's like a biscuit or a real cereal bar, I was curious so got it to try.

I also got some crumpets, to make sandwiches for a change as it was 90p for 6 of them.

And I've already got butter but forget to get cheese ha. I'm also excited to try the Slimming World cheese and tomato ravioli £3 steep, yeesh but it sounds nice.

Plus MyProtein chicken alfredo £4.75 I think this has been around for a while but never in stock, so sounds appealing, I'll probably pick out the mushrooms, ick.

And the last two things, cheese omelettes (£3), which I think I intended to put into the fried rice, Oh actually I think I have rice in the freezer..

And then a Chicago Town beef sliced pizza £1.75. I've been getting plain cheese so again, getting some variety and fun things to review.

Ah I feel better, just wrote the scathing new blankie review on Amazon helpfully will stop other shoppers wasting their money.

I can't help but wonder, these faulty products, why do they have such glowing feedback?

Are they even authentic? I've heard of sellers asking for 5 star reviews in exchange for freebies, it's happened to me but I prefer being honest.

Reviews help me get an idea of the product and if it's suitable. Actually when I checked back I did see some negative ones that I hadn't seen before..

Eeek the temperature has really dropped and there's more talks of snow, I hope it skips my area as other people have mentioned they have snow.
