#BlogLife780 - Taking it, one emotion at a time..

I got up nice and early for the Iceland delivery and thankfully most of it was there, the coleslaw was out of stock and for some reason there was a missing item, the sanitary towels, although I have stocked up on them, just prefer to have extra, in case Iceland runs out.

I just had a lil taste of the Chicken Tonight, honey and mustard, ooh it's quite flavourful, at first it's a bit of a shock.

It's slightly tangy and sweet, very creamy, a good sized jar and I'm just going to add it to the chicken and pasta dishes.

I was expecting the mustard to be stronger but I'm glad it isn't. It's not that sweet but it's not overpoweringly tart either.

It's funny, I thought I deleted the Heinz light mayonnaise from my order but I didn't.

I got that just in case I hated the Chicken Tonight. I rang up Iceland and got the refund, I'm so glad they didn't tell me to ring the local store, I can never get through and then the manager is never around, irritating!

I'm currently obsessed with their chicken bakes, but they were out of stock so I tried the chicken shop pies, the pastry isn't great, the filling is nice though.

Maybe I overcooked it but it seems really dry. I also got the Balconi rollino hazelnut mini cakes, I had to make up the order and I'm still craving sugar.

I'm not a big fan of the cake rolls but I do like nutty things and one reviewer remarked it was like Ferreros so I had to try it.

I also had a whiff of the Radox sleep aromatherapy bath soak, it smells nice but a lil ordinary.

So far I am underwhelmed because the few I've tried have been amazing, scent wise, really strong and fresh.

The green, the red and now this one but maybe when I actually use it, the essential oils will come through better?

I'm still off beef and cheese, but I can rotate the meals with eggs, chicken or fish.

T randomly checks up on me which is sweet, none of the others have done that.

He's dying of curiosity to know what's going on but I can't share, the personal stuff is just nobody else's business but my own.

I'm glad I've finally stopped putting in and removing my lenses near the edge of the bed, where they sometimes fall on the floor.

I've lost so many contacts that way, now I do it in the middle of the bed so if it falls I can spot it, easier.

#BlogLife762 - All fog, no clarity

I should put up a Song of the day but a depressing one.

I just feel frustrated when nothing gets crossed off the to do list. I hope tomorrow will be more productive and less blocked.

It still amazes me I couldn't get a phone deal, I always weasel one.

I guess my last opportunity is to talk to the leaving EE department and see if a deal pops up that way.

There's a change upcoming in my life and I hope it will be for the best..

Although it will mean parting company with someone that was really nice and understanding. 

In another light, it should make one aspect of my life easier.

I'm not sure if I'll pick up breakfast on Friday or wait until I get home and order it.

I'm not even sure anything will be open that early. I soaked my lens last night with the protein tablet and that made an immense difference.

For a new lens it shouldn't have been needed but maybe as it was three months without contacts, my eyes probably watered and were overly dry, more than usual.

I kept dousing them with eye drops but nothing helped. The protein worked fairly well.

There is much less blurriness, although still foggy at times but at least I'm not struggling and squinting as much.

This is the best that I can hope for, unless the Optician gives me a second lens but he's being a right pain at the moment. Yeesh!

I was up early to unpack the groceries so I managed all my calls and now I'm mostly obligation free.

Just one thing to do later and one tomorrow and I can finally switch off and enjoy the weekend.

I used to love the chocolate bar Picnic, nuts and chocolate so I bought a pack and a Cadbury's one, Delights, hazelnut and nougat, lush.

I'm glad that I've done what I could. I haven't been exercising as much. I've felt empty with all the problems but I'll try and get back to a routine.

At least the pmt isn't too bad, that first day was a horror show but it seems mild at the moment.

And the weird thing was today I put the glasses on briefly to see and they immediately started hurting my ears severely.

It's so random and strange how it hurts sometimes and not at other times, for the duration when I was wearing them, I wasn't in much pain.

Now they are back to aggravating my ears. Crazy how allergies work.

#BlogLife413 - Seemingly exotica (but not really)..

The latest random reminded me that I have a cant-quite-pinpoint accent and he's not the first to say that.

Maybe one or two or none of you listened when I did a recording of my voice for a milestone blog reward.

It's makes me laugh because I've had strange comments, when they try to guess and are flummoxed when I reply...

Nope, nope, nope, I have travelled a bit but not long enough to pick up a native tone.

To me it's just a typical UK dialect. It's not posh or common. 

It's in-between, the way we should be represented in American movies.

When I'm in a giving rare moment, I'll do it again.

Ugh the tracking hasn't updated for Hermes. I was tempted to get a moisturiser from Ocado but I have to be patient. 

I did another shop with them because I wanted certain things Iceland seems to be unable to give me.

The second time around, it's definitely pricier but the quality really is high.

I've collected the bags and I'll just hand them back to the driver.

There's been no fake winning competition notifications which I'm happy about..

But my twitter is starting to get full of sleazy and scam messages.

I don't know where they are coming from but I'm gonna block and report all of them now, getting too much.

Oh I decided to try another face fix. I have some face scrub and I used it with the face brush and it didn't really work.

Although my right cheek feels normal and left is like cardboard :(

I know it needs a deep layer of face cream but it has to wait.

Somebody remind me next year to stock up on creams for December, nearer the time lol.

I finally gave myself half a manicure. I chopped my nails short but couldn't be bothered to file them.

I'll do it tomorrow and finally did the protein treatment for my rgp hard lenses.

All that entails is adding tiny tablets to my lens case with the lenses in, soaking overnight.

You can use saline or storing solution but this is for hard lenses only.

What it does is remove the protein coating on the lenses, which can cause fogginess, irritation, blurriness etc.

As you cry or your eyes water, you're dripping protein on the lenses which over time cause problems.

Monthly I like to use the pills and deep clean them and after I don't really feel the lenses in my eyes much, except when tired or there's an eyelash or grit stuck.

Hmm I wonder if the spare lenses will arrive this weekend before the next strike day..

I've shaped my nails so that they look tidy now and do remember if you're doing the protein lens treatment to really douse your lens as in the morning all the liquid is usually gone.

Yay my Hermes gifts tracking is finally progressing, the next step is out for delivery, which won't be today but I'm still hoping it's tomorrow or Saturday at the latest..

I've just tried out Highland Spring pear and elderflower sparkling water for £1.62.

It's sugar free and was half price, yikes these prices are astronomical!! 

It's 4x 330ml cans and I find elderflower is hit or miss for me. This drink had a faint taste of pears and the bitterest aftertaste which I'm not sure if that is to do with the brand or the elderflower but ickity.

I will not be buying it again. I've found with some waters, the sourness just lingers on the tongue and it's horrible.

I only bought it as it was on special offer. Oh the free vitamins offer has now been despatched.

I got an email today saying Royal Mail will be delivering it, so that's going to take a while with the strikes in place.
