Expense is still an issue though, but one I am willing to ignore in the short term...I will order more with the next visitors!
Smells a bit funny, but seems to work. Fine for sitting around pools where you have access to a shower, but topping it up might be a little more complicated if you were wandering around the rain forest, but not impossible since I generally carry a bottle of water with me.

When I got some wisdom teeth out, a lot more then the tooth fragments ended up in the bin. In the surgery itself there was single use aprons, needle heads etc. (I was hiding under said apron trying not to pay attention to what was going on) But afterwards I had to get all this stuff that will eventually make it's way into the bin:
I tried to post this on Friday, and I thought I succeeded this morning, but there was only a blank post here, so I guess weebly was trying to give me a free pass.... So I´ll take it and move on!
I love pasta! I probably eat it 3-4 times a week. The problem is it comes in plastic packaging. Yesterday we happened to be in a supermarket in a more affluent neighbourhood and I got excited about the pasta in cardboard boxes, but obviously the fancy stuff was being imported from Italy, so I am really unsure about which is better.
I have already cut out mushrooms (until I can buy them loose) but I am not sure if I can do the same for pasta! I love shopping! which is part of the reason I am doing this challenge, but since January I have had to make do with second hand and charity shops, flea markets and craft shops...This is my favourite purchase: A completely guilt free biscuit plate. I have also managed to pick up a selection of books, a fancy dress costume (which will soon be returned) and various gifts.
For the past three months I have been struggling with drinking frozen drinks without a straw! Yesterday I lost the battle completely with a coconut lemonade (highly recommended but not without a straw), a third of the way through drinking it it formed a solid mass, which I stirred using my spork...but still when I lifted it to my mouth I ended up with a nose full of ice-chips, a frozen face and a mess that required several tissues to clean up, as well as damaging the packaging of the straw I was so eager not to use! Lesson learned!I ordered sushi without thinking about what I was going to eat it with.
Then they came and put down silver cutlery (in a paper bag) and wooden chopsticks in a paper packet. Obviously the less wasteful option would have been the cutlery, but I didn't want anyone (of the restaurant staff I will never see again) to think that I can't use chopsticks... So I opened them! Then to make matters worse I dropped a piece of sushi in the soya sauce causing a splash the hit the napkins in the holder (which I wasn't planning to use) and the bag from the unused cutlery, and probably causing the staff to draw the conclusion I had been trying to avoid! |
