#BlgLife941 - Trying to be in a better head space..

That was cool, I was searching for deals and didn't see much so I got the jumbo thick purple towel for a tenner, the wipes for £2 and 3x Blink eye drops for £11.

And then this voucher for 10% came up so I saved a £1ish, not much but better than nothing.

All the drops roughly had an individual retail cost of about £4ish yikes. (Blink seemed to cost about a fiver usually).

I'm not really bothered about the brand, unless it's on sale and new. It just has to be contact lens friendly as usually it's the time I'm wearing that the irritation, cloudiness or dryness occurs the most, so I don't want to remove them.

Today has been rainy and chilly, I love it but wonder if I should turn on the heated blankie, at long last.

I have to stop being so foolish so I've just started cooking a minced beef bake and turned on the heating.

The chicken one is superior but never in stock. I could have done them both but I don't know if I'll be full afterwards.

Life goes on, either it is sorted or it isn't and I can talk to him next week.

I can't just stop functioning because I'm overwhelmed, that's ridiculous.

Maybe by the weekend I can book an Iceland slot if the food continues going down.

I did enjoy that and had some tiramisu afterwards which I forgot I had.

As predicted I am full. It could also be hormones, around my monthly my hunger does go up and down.

But at least I cooked something. I forgot I bought mini cheese pizzas and waffle fries.

I'll just keep cooking small meals that really appeal to me and that will make it easier.

I think all my stuff should arrive before Monday. Oh that's it, let me jot down a note with the towel size.

They said it was 100% Egyptian cotton and 90/100x190cm. Hmm I confused myself I thought this one was bigger than the 100x200cm ones I saw.

How did I get muddled? Oh well I don't even know how big that will be, hopefully enough to wrap around me comfortably.

Oh the course just emailed to say they've removed me until I provide them with a valid passport.

I'm glad though, I'll email them now and say I'm struggling with the bills and expenses and I can't afford to renew it.

I resent having too. It's still me, my bloody photo, my name, other personally identifiable information.

What the hell is the point having a valid passport when it's never used?

Plus nobody else would know my middle names and no I'm not going to divulge them.

They are the most unique I've ever seen or heard anywhere in the world.

Hardly likely to be a forgery. They are just being tits on purpose.

But actually they are doing me a favour. 

Surprise surprise those creamy chicken bakes are in stock in Iceland but I don't know whether to get them or the newer ones or both?

Also just took my time and oiled my hair, gave myself a nice scalp massage and that was long overdue.

It's just gone 12pmish and it's been delightfully pouring with rain all day so it's blissfully quiet.

I love that, I can actually hear myself think :)

Weirdly enough I'm not cold today. I don't know what to munch because although I don't feel stressed at present, neither do I feel peckish..

#BlogLife319 - Blink Intensive Tears eye drops review Update

I finally got these and I'm not sure if they are re-wetting drops but I don't think they are.

I paid £4.50 for them and they are 10ml in size. They are thin but not watery and don't sting, thank goodness.

As soon as I put them in my eyes were blinking and crying but after about a minute they stopped.

I feel refreshed and my lenses are comfortable again. It feels like I took them out and cleaned them and popped them back in again.

It will be interesting how they work on fogged up lenses. I think that is the purpose of re-wetting drops, probably stops you from having to remove, clean them and insert them back.

The writing is too small for me to read it but the box claims it's soothing and long lasting for dry tired eyes.

Suitable for use while wearing with soft or hard contact lenses, which is something I look for in drops as it is more convenient, not to wait around for the required safety time to lapse.

I've started storing mine in the fridge as I want that coolness. The humidity is steaming up my lenses really badly and I can't see or read properly and I can never be bothered to remove them as this usually happens in the evening before bedtime.

I'll let you know later, if the cost is justified!!

Providing long last relief is a lie. Within a few minutes, my eyes don't feel dry as such but they do feel tender and a bit raw already.

I don't recommend them for the price, I'm sure there are better ones out there and they don't soothe for ages.

I'll keep looking for the one that really impressed me, maybe it was Murine?!

The heat is back so my lenses got fogged and I tried to sprinkle the eye drops and blink to see if it would help clear things up...

Result, nothing happened. I really wouldn't bother with these.
