#BlogLife1023 - Not what I was expecting..

So I have the last bit of cleaning to do, sweeping or mopping and I just don't want to do it.

I should take an old rag, wet it and just move it across the floor. I'm not trying to make it perfect just presentable for tomorrow's appointment..

Disappointingly a few things were unavailable from the Iceland shop, handwash, kitchen towels, boo, I'm running low on those.

I just thought I got a bonus item but then I realised it was the Desime pani puri gol gappa.... (£4).

Giggles, this was not what I thought it would be. The picture was blurry, but I thought it was mini flatbreads..

Err nopey, it's balls of plain bread but seasoned, I was hoping it had potato.

It's light, like a crisp, very strange to me. I've never seen it like that before, at parties, they would cook it incredibly thin and you'd have it with curry, vegetables and it was like a roti, but different.

A drier taste but very tasty, it was one of my favourite things to eat, so I guess this is like a snack or appetiser?

I don't know if you would pair it, dip it or have it on it's own. I think it's already cooked lol, I've no idea.

I have a feeling according to googly these are typically stuffed with potatoes, curry, chickpea or onions and then dipped into a raita, yoghurt or tamarind dip, interesting..

Well it's something different. Oh and the Lancashire Farm greek yogurt is a tiny thing, no wonder it was 89p. I didn't understand the complicated lid, so I cut it open.

I bought the Choee strawberry super mix to try £1, 200g bag but it wasn't in stock, they sent me Maoam fruit and cola 140g bad bit smaller.

The Mornflakes nutty granola and the Iceland soy and ginger chicken will all be fun to try.

Plus Light and Free Greek style fat free strawberry yoghurt, it's been a while since I had chilled stuff.

Oh my that is lovely, even before you open the granola that wonderful oaty smell hits your senses and takes me back to my youth.

It's got loads of nuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, really crunchy, with Jordan's it had larger clusters, this is mainly tiny bits, so less able to eat from the bag, more designed with milk or yoghurt but I'm glad I bought it, even though I am freezing..

At first I thought it was slices of coconut but I'm so happy it's not, it's walnut which I don't mind at all because it's not bitter, this will last a while hopefully.

That made a perfect blend, the Light and Free yoghurt you wouldn't think was fat free, it's very tasty and doesn't taste artificial to me, nice strawberry flavour.

I just tipped some granola inside the pot and had a perfect serving.

The addition of the nuts is great, very plentiful, I would recommend it.

The Maoam stripes fruit and cola, has a nice fruity juicy flavour, but really hard, it looks like gum, not something I would get again.

But the more I eat it, the nicer I find it. Very chewy but tough, the sweet flavour is probably like starburst/opal fruits, really nice and refreshing. It's not cola though..

The sticky gingers are small strips, and actually sticky but not unbearably so, oops I can't rate it because I overcooked it.

Ha, it probably only needed less than 10 minutes and I did it over that.

It has got a nice flavour, probably needs a bit more ginger but it's nicely seasoned, I guess I would have liked bigger strips.

I have a feeling when I do it next time, it will be a recommendation.

Ok just as I was settling down, missed a call from the landlord, called back, they've set up a repair and this one wasn't a mistake..

(I was hoping they were double checking that I had the surveyor appointment, I wanted to mention waiting 2 bloody hours)..

So I wonder which of the faulty things they are going to get around too?

Broken plug sockets? There is 2 of those. The bedroom light which hasn't worked for years?

The damage to the walls? The damaged bath tub? The wall shower drainer that doesn't drain?

I'll find out when they call me back but it's scheduled to be fixed by tomorrow.

I feel nervous once more, if it's in my room, I'll have to stand in another room..

If it's the bathroom right next to my room, I'll hear every coming and going noise, anxious that they will burst into my room without knocking.

If it's in the living room at least that's a bit further away. As usual I don't want to eat.

Anything to do with the bathroom I push all the things on the edge into a bowl in case it gets knocked onto the floor.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, face brush, handwash lol.
