I still haven´t found a suitable low packaging dish washer detergent, and until last Monday I had nothing to hand wash dishes with either ...so I had been sneaking occasional plastic wrapped dishwasher tablets from my parents house. At least now I can hand wash dishes (with a solid bar of castile soap) and the hunt still continues for some kind of bulk dishwasher powder.

I don´t often need to take pain killers, which is why the packet I bought at some point during 2014 or 2015 has lasted me this long ...or lasted until a month or two ago when my brother was looking for some ibuprofen and I gave him the last sheet of blisterpack.
But today I wanted to take some, and hugging a hot water bottle although providing some relief, doesn´t seem to be a long term solution (Although it is currently giving me the opportunity to update my blog). I know really organised people explain to their doctor that they don´t want to use blister packs and get a prescription which allows them to get a tub of paracetamol, not sure if the same thing exists for other pain killers and I definitely know that I will be waiting until I have another reason to go to the doctor before forking out 60 euro! I haven't sorted out my composting in the new place yet, so a weeks worth of stuff came to my parents house with me today, of course if I was super hard core I would be using the vegetable peelings to make stock, but I am not quite there yet, at least in the mean time
This is definitely a challenge, especially since the last place we rented was in a different country.
We have amassed plenty of stuff over the years and luckily my brother has recently sold an apartment that he had been renting out so we can get quite a bit from him and supplement with charity shops and second hand websites. The real problem is going to be things like mops, brushes, bins and buckets etc., things that are practically disposable and people don't think about selling second hand! |
