I just went to post my bowel screening test back and realised I forgot to actually put the tubes in the envelope. I actually had the envelope in the delivery slot when I realised, luckily I hadn't let go yet.

The Temu return was much more successful. The dodgy ill-fitting shoes are now out of my life.

Time is valuable.

If you worked from home you could use that time more productively.

I've been sorting out my spices etc. and some of that stuff has been around way too long - expiry dates 8-10 years ago! I think it's time to toss most of it and buy fresh.

I would also like to question my past self as to why she bought so much of so many different types of salt. I have rock salt, ground salt and salt flakes, all with iodised and non-iodised versions. Plus pink salt and black salt. The only saving grace is that salt doesn't go off. Although the black salt smells like it has and I haven't liked any of the uses recommended for it, so I've made the executive decision to toss that one out. Now I only have 7 different types of salt to manage!

I was at a fancy buffet breakfast recently that had an entire salt range! And a honey bar. Absolutely loved it. You could set up your own salt bar!

Big glass turntable to fit in corner. Then you just swizzle it to access the nether regions. You can get these at 40cm or more wide.

example

I have one for my corner cupboards.

Is the black salt, kala namak? aka eggy salt, it has sulphur in it. It might be supposed to smell like that.

Yes, it is. It is supposed to smell like that, but it's not something I actually liked. I kept seeing things about how it was really great in egg dishes so I thought I'd give it a try, but I really didn't like it.

Everyone seems to be at the doctors recently!

I get the results from my blood test tomorrow, last time it showed low iron and vit. D, and given I've not been anywhere near as good as I should have been at taking the recommended suplements I expect I will have the same result again.

Hi, I'm CEO and I have a crockery problem. I am currently dealing with it but I would like to apologise to anyone who has given me stuff in the past thinking I will use them in good faith. I do love serving bowls but I don't need 10 of them and I don't need the tiny bowls that go with them.

The good news is someone else will appreciate this stuff more than me.

Some doctors won't do it unless you've softened the wax beforehand. It's worth getting the waxsol ear drops and using them a few days before your appointment. Makes it a lot easier.

my iron and vitamins are good, my kidneys and liver normal, no inflammation anywhere, no rheumatoid arthritis ( just wear and tear ), I don't need meds, blood pressure good, doc said lose 5 kg, I said, "attainable goals!" and I'll do it by dieting

Thursday I go to a special clinic for food allergy testing , with the results I can plan my everyday diet better šŸ™‚

and 2 weeks from now get the dreadful circulation in one leg looked at

Yeah I grabbed some a couple days ago but honestly it doesn't seem to have made a huge difference.

My pantry is mostly pretty good, there's just a few areas that got a bit out of control, especially the spices. I had a bit much clutter and ended up with bits spread everywhere, then I'd buy more of things because I couldn't find them. And then of course I moved house which just compounded the chaos.

I've got a spot cleared now to store all the bulk stuff (I mostly buy whole spices and grind my own). There are a few things in there I don't really use to get rid of, and most of the older packets are pretty much empty.
