Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I used the photo of my biscuits to make a little labelled handout, with what each one is and which ones are vegan/wheat/dairy/gluten free. It looks very spiffy if I do say so myself.
The gift bags I printed out are going to be way too small, so I'm going to attach the Christmas pictures to a brown paper bag instead and add a couple of decorations.
sky eerie
I made it to the op shop again. It’s still a bit of a big walk for me though 🫠I definitely pay for it over the next few days and my sore foot complains.
But at least I took the dented/disliked flavour cat food down to the community pantry. 12 cans. Those were meant to go to the shelter ages ago but someone else took them out of the bag and put them back in the cupboard when I wasn’t looking.
There’s an unopened pack of toothbrushes somewhere I won’t use. A scented bar of soap. A pack of pasta I bought but won’t eat. If my plants start producing a lot of veg I could maybe take the extra down there.
I wonder what the etiquette is on buying big multipacks of soap or tp and re-wrapping them individually (perhaps in wrapping paper) to share them out more equally. Is that sus or acceptable
Whenever you add to a food drive, what do youse like to add? I like to give pancake mixtures and cake mixtures. Something a bit different.
I've only donated once but I gave Zooper doopers because I was in the country and it was summer
I have been listening to Chelsea Wolfe all day. Such a gloomy princess.
ugh, I have never heard the neighbours kids laugh once, at their place it always ends in screaming and crying
Watching the old Frankenstein movies seeing the amazing images and I recall watching these as a child.
When I was a kid screen time meant watching broadcast tv, our only choices were 3 stations, the schedule was fixed but we had a tv guide to see what was on, and it was black and white. tvs were big and heavy but had small screens.
Saturday afternoons was when I watched movies, every movie that was on.
