I don't really miss it at all. I still eat fish though maybe once a week or a fortnight. I'm doing a lot of reading in this cold weather too. I'm currently reading one of your recommendations - The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It's good, thanks for the heads up. I bought The Love Song of Queenie Hennessey too, so will be reading that next.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-7473666352790764922021-02-12T23:17:35.102+00:002021-02-12T23:17:35.102+00:00I have been eyeing Cadbury Mini Eggs every time I ...I have been eyeing Cadbury Mini Eggs every time I have been shopping so far I have managed to escape the temptation, But I am not sure how much longer I will be able to withstand it.<br /><br />What a great job you have done on your various issues.

I need to get back to that, I have been stress shopping a bit lately and that is just not good. Thank you for telling me your leggings story, I know I am not alone in loving them!

Hubby and I are meat eaters and I doubt I could stick to a vegan diet. We have a couple of tubs of chocolates left over from Christmas and I hope I can be good and keep them until Easter but I doubt it somehow.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-44876594177351992662021-02-12T11:01:48.999+00:002021-02-12T11:01:48.999+00:00I love this, sadly we have a Tesco express or a Co...I love this, sadly we have a Tesco express or a Co-op within walking distance from home, they both sell cheap chocolate. BUT I'm giving myself until March to enjoy the treats, March I will tighten my belt.

I'm not reading or crafting very much at the moment, my mood has taken a nosedive just lately and I can't concentrate on very much, I think this lockdown is affecting people more than the first one did, probably due to the weather and not being able to get out in the sunshine like we did last year. We're big meat eaters here, though I do love veggies so I could easily go a couple of days each week meat free but Mick would be asking where his meat was if I put a plate of veggies in front of him, haha.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-83609789167625473882021-02-12T10:06:45.653+00:002021-02-12T10:06:45.653+00:00I agree Marlene, chicken pieces e.g. can be bought...I agree Marlene, chicken pieces e.g. can be bought ridiculously cheap, and lots of people have no choice but to buy cheap food to feed their families. But what kind of conditions and life do these chickens have before being slaughtered? It doesn't bear thinking about. Like you, we don't want to go fully meat free, but will certainly be trying to have at least a couple of meat free days each week. And when we do eat meat, I shall be buying smaller quantities of higher welfare meat.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
