Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting day today, but I'm finally giving away the oranges, lemons, beans and salad leaves tomorrow morning at 8am, then my groceries between 10am and 11am and it genuinely doesn't matter what's out of stock 'cos I've got enough of everything except the salt to keep me going.  As long as I've got enough energy, I'll change the beddng tomorrow too.  Wednesday the cheese is going and Friday most of my Freegle items are going so I can breathe on Thursday.  I'm gonna give myself a break from tidying up for a while 'cos I've done too much for too long, so I'm gonna put myself front and centre for a change.


I've taken my last two pills of the day and put the new boxes into the empty bag, so I'm all set for tomorrow now.


I'll see you all in the morning.


Nite nite orl

Today's (3rd August 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was only the leftovers part of what I had planned for my lunch because I got a notification that my delivery was due during the time I would have been cooking, so I decided against risking cooking the mushrooms and potentially being interrupted part of the way through, so it was just a vegetarian family roast, vegan mayonnaise and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop today.


Here's today's lunch photo:


Looks like...

...Thursday is my one and only free day again this week lol


Today (Monday) is the delivery

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the Olio-er at 8am and then my groceries

Wednesday is the weekly virus scan and backups and the cheese Olio-er

Thursday I can breathe

Friday is a Freegler

Saturday is my weekly bath

Sunday is potentially my SIL unless her shifts clash and my OddBox

Another busy week, but it'll be worth it to get some things sorted - it was an almost clear week at the weekend lol

In the last hour or so, I've had requests for 4 of the 5 foods that I advertised on Olio this morning!  The lemons, oranges and beans are going tomorrow morning and the cheese is going on Wednesday early evening, so all that's left now is the baby salad leaves which is pretty good going I reckon!
