#BlogLife1095 - Robinson's fruit shoot ice poles

I'm still waiting for Mr Freeze ice poles to come back in stock, better flavour and more value but in the meantime I'm trying Robinson's..

Although it would be nice if Mr Freeze returns the limited edition blue raspberry, the greatest slush puppy flavour ever..

Anyway so far a mixed bag, the orange version tastes artificial and flavourless, not like real orange, disappointing.

The apple however does taste nice, genuine apple, so a weird quality bag.

I don't know if it's just orange and then the apple one, or is there a mixed fruit one?

I thought there would be more flavours.. Would I buy it again? Probably not unless I was desperate, it certainly helps to keep my water icy with a hint of flavour for longer..

I was definitely hoping for the blackcurrant type. Ahh just checked the freezer, there is more, summer berries, I've not tried and the apple and blackcurrant is very very light but okish..

I had a horrid night. I just could not sleep for some reason. I think about 5/6am or later I finally drifted off for a few hours, ugh..

I was so tempted to get up but I desperately wanted rest. I have things to do and no energy for it.

I guess depending on what time I get back tomorrow I might do a same day grocery order or might leave it for Wednesday..

My stocks are running low but tomorrow hmm, I'll see about a top up shop, or maybe I'll order food.

I was looking on Just Eat and none of the grocery stores on there, actually hardly any restaurants are excepting cash payments..

Only my sushi place, a Chinese localish and a kebab place, which had rumbaba on the menu, holy moly, what a treat..

Tesco is also doing the baklawa selection but it looks different, I'm not sure the small store would have it.

With the intense heat, lack of sleep and general soreness, it's difficult to do much.

So I can make all the idealistic plans I want but actually going from store to store is a challenge..

I opened the Ryvita crackers yesterday, just with butter or cheese and I didn't mind it, somewhat tasteless but good for you, as opposed to white cream crackers.

I would get it again, because the toppings make a difference to it.

Plus I still have weight to lose but it's getting there, slowly but surely.

Tomorrow morning, I'll meet Mama and will probably be late on purpose, I hate going to a place, where I don't have the cash to pay for stuff, I feel like a thief..

But the pedicures and massages will be fun and then whenever I feel up to it, I will get my brows done.

It's lunchtime already, I have one bagel left. I might do a meatball version with some cheese, cut or break them in half.

I've not tried that with a bagel. There's so many lil things I need to get..

Some slippers, a new foundation, a new beach towel, a new makeup bag, because the old one, something leaked and it's sticky..

I need to top up my oyster travel card and then I will think about sniffing out a bargain for the mud mask and a proper moisturiser.

But if I can't get good deals, I will leave it. For the first time in years, I might be overdrawn because UC is having fun and games, with making the repayment, higher and higher..

And it's cutting into my careful groceries/bills budget. Mama is giving me some birthday/Christmas cash so I'll use some of it, to deposit for the bills.

Friday is the UC appointment, and if it's weekly, I can't visit her, I'll see how it goes, unless they give me a phone appointment..

Her and my birthdays are upcoming and it's not my favourite time..

It highlighted how awkward I was or became and that I could not connect with people because I was labelled "unacceptable."

But this month, no matter how I feel, I try to be good to myself and take care of my needs because I deserve it.

I have no idea what to get Mama, aside from the baklawa, ooh maybe truffles??

I will browse that international store for inspiration.. I've always tried to spoil her, even when money was tight.

I want my appetite to return. She said she has some goodies for me, probably what she bought back from her holidays.

As well as the pakora recipe, I found another one that looked interesting, this is a dessert/snack one.

If we do get together and decide to make them. I shall try and take some photos, we are not experts so it might not look the way it should.

My hands are dreading cooking, the pain of it.... But maybe the results will be worth it?
