Sainsburys Five Beans. Half the price of Heinz, served with four slices of brown toast that's practically a whole days fibre, and really tasty

It's not cheap, but was actually free - a birthday gift for my sister that she loved ;)

My sis turned thirty and because I couldn't see her on the day but wanted her to have something, I made her a playlist on Spotify, with the song that was top of the charts, each year, since her birth on that date. It took me about 15 min to look up the songs and a few minutes to search them for on Spotify.

When I congratulated her I mentioned that I have an online gift for her, which she got very excited about as she had zero idea what that could even be - shared the link to the playlist and she immediately loved it ❤ So - if you need a little something for someone and you can spend about twenty to thirty minutes on it, this was very popular here. My sister even wants to make a similar playlist for her best friend.
That's such a sweet idea! I did something similar for a friend's anniversary and made her a Pinterest board around the theme of love and then sent it to her

Aldi own brand unsweetened soya milk is always either 50 or 55p compared to Sainsburys own which is now £1.10. It's absolutely my favourite plant milk so I'm lucky it's the cheapest.

I hate overly sweet perfumes and most perfumes in general. I also wouldn't spend over 30£ on a perfume 😂

I found these in Zara - Lightly Bloom and Deep Garden. Amazing! Two perfumes £13. Lightly bloom smells so fresh and clean and deep garden has a bit more depth for night time 👌🏻

Bloody hell! I was in Zara today stood in front of the perfumes feeling overwhelmed and not knowing what to try! 😁
Last time I was in I sprayed on some perfume out of a bottle and then forgot about it till I got home and then thought ooh! What is that nice smell? So back again today to find this elusive perfume. I'll bookmark your suggestions for next time. 😄

Barry M "Gelly" nail polishes are really good and look like gel polish without needing a lamp, etc. to dry them (which is bad for you anyway, it's basically like putting your hands under a sunbed!) They are £3.99 each so a lot cheaper than Essie, OPI etc. that also have gel ranges

It's not a thing it's a service.
Since I can no longer afford to binge buy books, and as they say support your library or you'll lose it, I was surprised to find what was available when I joined.
So far I've read a lot of books. Then I've done some ebook reading which being a technophobe as I've got older feels like a big achievement 😁.
Now I'm dipping my toe in reading magazines online which has led me to cancelling a subscription for a magazine I'm so so about.
Then one day I went in the library to the sound of deafening noise which turned out to be the knit and natter group, and the place was heaving - but not much knitting going on 😄

Oh the BorrowBox and Libby apps are revolutionary for those who love reading without the expense as they connect to local library’s ebook collection. Fabulous 🤓

I love the library! Mine is only a 10 min walk away. I managed to preorder a new release by one of my favourite writers today and picked up The Maid which Im looking forward to reading.

Yes, it's called Borrowbox and the newspapers/magazines are on Pressreader. If you belong to a library you don't have to pay.

I think I had a look once but the people on there don't seem to read the books I do. 😁
Oh gosh I thought it pretty varied but now I’m interested in what your genre of preference is? Maybe you can broaden my reading horizons if you have any recommendations
