#BlogLife951 - Christmas menu?

I know it's only September but I'm getting more and more excited as Iceland seems to be displaying more and more fun new Christmas party items.

The latest I have never seen is TGI Fridays cheeseburger spring rolls, where's the chicken ones they usually do?

Looks fun all the same and sesame chicken toasts, not prawns, I mean way different, I have to try them too.

It's currently under the offer, 3 for £10. The toasts are £2.50 for 10.

The spring rolls are £4 for 5 only, that's a bit mean. I don't always eat conventional meals.

I might just cook up random stuff and munch like a buffet. It depends what I'm craving, not usually huge meals.

At the moment crackers and cheese are half a meal and then I'll supplement that with something else..

I am cramping so hard at the moment. I hope the binaural beats help.

As of today (Wednesday) night still nothing from paypal. Saturday I chased them up, it's in the queue, processing..

Today I called them up and he was vague, that it could take a week or a few weeks, yeesh.

I wonder if because I've requested the exact same information for the 4th time I think it is, that it's not a priority anymore..

Today the 24th was the deadline to send it in. I should call the Witch and retell her what they asked and beg for an extension.

This is great ammunition for her, Oh look, the crippled spoilt girl, isn't doing what I ask, I can jot that down..

There must be a reason, she's been on my case for nearly a year, she hasn't fined me yet, it has to mean jail time.

Anyway I'm not going to call because I'm slowly losing my mind and I'm one sentence away from snapping..

And that's what she wants, she wants me to say, Lawyers would have an open and shut case, I just want to sink into depression and end everything...

But I'm not going to reach out to her yet. I can't stand her. If there is still nothing by Friday, then maybe.. I'll have the courage to face my tormentor..

Oh the other thing I am dying to try is Las Iguanas fajita chicken taco bites, it looks sublime..

But either they are sold out or they are waiting for them to come in stock..

Maybe because it's hormones or stress I feel so drained. The thought of all that walking to get to the library..

I wonder if I have it in me.. Not that I have a choice. I can do it, I just know it will take it all out of me, and the dizziness will worry me too.

I do not want to collapse. If I could eat or drink something before I left, that would be better but I couldn't face it.

#BlogLife940 - Iceland goodies

I thought I would have a look, it's been a while since I checked to see if any new products were available.

There were loads but I'm only interested in the non red meat versions.

Greggs have a limited edition chicken fajita bake 2x £3.50. Iceland has a beef curry and sticky rice £3.75 ouchy prices.

Las Iguanas have a chilli beef burrito and a chicken one, chicken for me I think.

I hope these things aren't overly spiced. Iceland has new creamy chicken pies x4 £2.50 that's good, I like their own range.

And there was a chicken pasta that's sold out and a red thai chicken with sticky rice that looks good £3.75.

I personally now I've tried it and like it, prefer green thai, to me it's stronger and has a better taste.

But they are also offering deals, so 3 for £10. I'm only trying to get items that I really crave to kickstart a full appetite again.

I don't know what maintenance work was being done today, a lot of banging, seemed like they were cleaning the walls or windows, strange, that isn't a service that's offered.

There's no letters about it.

I'm done munching had the salmon pasta and the sandwich, plus some starburst and the hobnob biscuits.

I forgot to add this, remember the spring rolls I bought at the market that weren't spicy but needed extra seasoning?

I didn't notice at the bottom of the bag was a deliciously mild cucumber mint raita dip, ughhh. By then I had finished them lol.

Even though it wasn't the best, but it was goodish at least it was affordable. I really want to try the samosas and maybe the kebab roll, but in chicken not lamb.

Oh and the pakoras too, not sure if they are veggy or chicken.. And I bet all that filler food would be a tenner or so..

And by that time the buses will be running all the way to the market not stopping part way, so the food might even remain hot and crispy.

I need to budget and instead of me paying £15 or £20.. I can get snacks cheaper.

The only thing our market doesn't seem to have is a good Chinese takeout or a sushi place.

But I know other good places to get them from, it would be easier if they were within walking distance, I would spend less.

I have a feeling the next trip to the Optician or pedicure place, I'll pick up fish and chips and a cod roe, I've been craving that.

I can get the small version, it just won't be hot by the time I get home.

Mama's place and our local seems like they challenge themselves to put in as much food as possible.

The chunky chips are so plentiful, we can never finish and it's always fresh, a family business so it's never empty.

I need to get some more eye drops, a new towel, maybe a flannel and what was the other thing?

Oh yea face wipes too. I'm still waiting for the appointment to show up...

Ok 11.11am he turned up, there was no text this time so I was getting anxious I had been scammed again.

He was due before 12pm and I let him know everything, instead of not speaking up and regretting it.

I have no idea where the cleaners put the mop, the broom and the pan and brush, ughh.

I had things in sight for a reason so that they were easily accessible, if I can't find them I'll have to get replacements.

I just have a few more things to discard and that's it. I had to get the cleaner to open up an essential oil lemon bottle as I couldn't break through the child proof cap.

Embarrassing but hey ho. The other issue pressing on my mind is worrying about keeping things clean and manageable.

I'm really trying to do spot tidying as much as possible but I know there will come a time, when I'm injured or tired and it will get harder.

Hmm that took 20 minutes only but at least there wasn't much mess.

Umm I'm sceptical, he's coming back next week and I hope he didn't just do a rush job.

I deserve a thorough experience. It just seems too quick and easy.

I just thought it would be longer. He forgot to take the dvd player and I'm not reminding him.

I don't mind him having it, what I mind is.. I'm not convinced, it's all done.

I wanted to have peace of mind afterwards but I just feel I have been ripped off.

Maybe I am unnecessarily worrying for nothing? I have one more appointment with him next Wednesday.

I will address my concerns then because my appetite hasn't returned and I can't do a badly needed Iceland shop as I'm too stressed to eat.

He just made light of the things I said, not in a mean way but I don't feel reassured.

He did talk to me afterwards but I can't help but wonder if, he was just not really bothered to spend time double checking his work.

Or more eager to move on to the next paid job. I have to find a way to confront him, just so I can feel at ease.

I have to get over this mood but I don't know how. The funny thing is I can help other people feel better..

I just can't seem to do it for myself. I will try to continue grazing on snacks..

Maybe later, not now, my stomach is in knots. At lease the rest of the week is free.

Ugh what is even the point doing a grocery shop when I'm not munching.

I was looking forward to it. I guess I expected to feel differently.

I'm pretty sure the bins have been emptied, I heard a few trucks, unless they have forgotten about us again.

I'm just really trying to follow all these steps to improve my life and wellbeing so why doesn't it seem like it's evolving to a better place?

I'm fed up.

#BlogLife789 - Iceland's Indian/holiday range

I am squealing with excitement as I've just checked the Iceland website and the chicken spring rolls are finally here, woop woop.

It will be a miracle if they are in stock and I don't need to do a shop just yet but I'm adding them to the basket.

I also saw Crown Farms has done a range of new items, or maybe other places had them before but I've never spotted them.

Mini dal puris, vegetable pakoras, which I adore, that's it but I have got to sample them, even if Crown Farms has a nasty habit of making stuff ridiculously over peppered.

Plus there was these mini pizza bites, they look like itty bitty calzones ha.

Also I saw mini chicken tandoori koftas and tandoori is the best flavouring.

The chicken tikka spring rolls I hope are well seasoned. Oh and After Eight has a mini bag version of dark chocolate, which looks fun.

They are all reasonably priced and as I'm not eating much, snack foods are the way to go.

I've just unpacked the shopping and I'm pleased everything was in stock.

I had to grab the After Eight minis and try one, wow, the dark chocolate seems a tad bitter but when it pairs with the gooey mint, it's so delicious, that is my favourite mint chocolate pairing to date.

Highly recommended, it's a tiny bag, 7 small chocolates inside for £1.35 but considering it's a big brand name, it could have been way more expensive.

I actually bought things I've never heard of because they are vegetarian and I love trying new things, plus I know Mama would be interested as she's not into meat and chicken that much.

I'm not even sure I can describe them and Googly woogly was no help.

Noon Garah from Crown Farms and vegetable singhara. One looks like lil round discs, I don't know if they're plain or stuffed and the other looks like pyramids.

I just took advantage of the special offers and thought why not sample the range.

I'm not even sure how long to cook these things for, 10 minutes is usually the sweet spot. 

Alright most of these things are designed to be party food I assume, as they are minis.

Oh my just tried the chicken spring rolls, chicken and veggies inside and absolutely delicious, will be buying them again.

The mini pizza bites surprised me, I think it's just cheese and tomato in a kinda bready dough but my heavens, they seasoned that so nicely.

It's so tasty, it's not too much cheese or tomato, the perfect mix of each. I just realised what it's like.

Pizza crust, the edge bit, but softer and then filled, that is what it seems like, although I've never tried stuffed crust, I imagine this is similar.

The pizza bites are a pound. The spring rolls are £2.50 and have 12 inside.

I'm already stuffed and I've only had a lil brekkie. I'll take my time and sample things one by one, I'm surprised it all fit in the freezer.

When I cook the noon garah and singhara, then I can describe it better as right now, I'm just guessing.

I kinda feel like it's my own buffet, lil bits of random foods together but at least I'm eating something.
