That was the problem we had with milk deliveries 1step - not every day and delivered anywhere up to 10:30am
I'm going to look and see if it's changed.

Ours comes early but you can phone and check or I think if you catch them you can ask if possible to fit an earlier time in?

Also ours has come over the BH weekend which is awesome 😊

I don’t understand why they are so late now

Always used to be well early in the old days!

It involved olive oil, Shea butter and I think some coconut. Mixed with potassium hydroxide and cooked in my crock pot. He’s ended up with a batch of slime that he is dissolving in water and then adding some essential oil. There’s going to be loads. It’ll keep us clean for ages.

Hadn't brought lunch in to work today. Decided to check into the local supermarket (have a big Tesco's opposite the hospital). Found Tesco's value quiche is a cardboard box and foil; some loose bananas; and finally got a bottle of olives to snack on.

Zero plastic purchased from the local :D

My lips are really dry at the moment and I managed to find a Burt’s Bees copycat recipe online. I’ve made these two little pots to put it in when I’ve made it.

I just use soap and water (but then I dont wear much). Make up makes me sad as its all in bloody plastic!

I left a review for milk and more and they are keen to get in touch to discuss plastic free bakery and other items - good for them! :)
