Birthday: Freebies, Almost Freebies, and a Healthier Fridge !

 Getting older does, I found out last week, have some benefits 😀 I got several emails containing small gift vouchers or discounts from Hobbycraft. 

 I was sent a £5 voucher which I used to buy some pretty flowers for my charity cards.  They cost a total of £7.50 and I only paid £2.50.....

....and a pack of tiny crystal gems costing £2.80 only cost me 30p after using my £2.50 loyalty voucher.....

Even better was a FREE pack of grapes on my M & S Sparks App !  They were priced at £2.65 but cost me nothing 😀 We will enjoy some with our cheese and crackers for tea tonight.....

My fridge is looking a little healthier after last week's food delivery too. The Benecol spread and Cholesterol drinks are there because Gray had a phone call from the pharmacist (why not the GP???) to say that he has high cholesterol and needs statins to bring the numbers down.  After a bit of frank discussion, Gray decided that he didn't want to take even more medication than he's currently on, and will try to resolve it with his diet.  (And, yes, the Toblerone at the very top is his 🤯 )

I guess watching our diet will be beneficial for us both.  We've slipped into some poor habits lately, I'm ashamed to say, especially eating snacks in the evening 😒

Thanks for popping in and do stay safe well and well wherever you happen to be,
