I think I am more settled because even if I lose the will to cook and end up subsisting mostly on rice I know that between us we have raised a magnificent amount for a very good cause. I feel rather weirdly soothed by that.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-23058474562241725512022-06-18T18:08:36.675+01:002022-06-18T18:08:36.675+01:00Actually I used to think that too when I lived in ...Actually I used to think that too when I lived in Ulverston where there is also a branch of Booths, and I rarely shopped there. But since living so close to this branch I have found them to be brilliant for 'yellow sticker' offers, spot bargains and regular free gifts for cardholders. I am very lucky that to compare Booths prices with Aldi's I literally only have to walk across the car park as they are virtually side by side. Booths is also the only supermarket with a café in our small town, so if we eat there we do tend to pick up a few things at the same time ... and they are the supermarket in our town with the most vegan options so I do stock up on things regularly.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-90135234528896316522022-06-18T18:03:49.341+01:002022-06-18T18:03:49.341+01:00Thank you so much for your second donation to this...Thank you so much for your second donation to this wonderful cause.

Reading your recent posts about this ...Absolutely ! Reading your recent posts about this challenge has really made me think, so the money that my mum gave us for a treat take away has gone into your fund, I shall make us sweet and sour tofu and we will enjoy it even more now. I was quite upset by the negative comment regarding your challenge, it was so insulting , you doing this shows respect and understanding towards the refugees, it is much easier for us to make a donation, whatever the amount, but to do what you and others are doing is amazing, (I hope I am not speaking out of turn as it was a discussion between the two of you. ) Go girl !!!!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265885693374549426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-28543809883984424562022-06-18T10:43:52.709+01:002022-06-18T10:43:52.709+01:00That receipt puts it all into perspective doesn...That receipt puts it all into perspective doesn't it Sue. I was trying to imagine what vegan mush toast is then realised it's probably a MUSHROOM toastie! :) lol... That sounds much tastier!<br />I'm looking forward to following your challenge.
