Water pressure isn't much more than a trickle now

Spoke to 3 of my neighbours and we're all in the same boat so at least that's something

Had to wash my Barnet in cold water
I could have left it another day and fried an egg on it but I'm not that desperate for a fried egg

I hate that ulcer in my mouth

It makes me feel very unhappy

^I'm sorry to hear that.

Today I spent about 4 hours tinkering on a router, trying to get a VPN to work. It didn"t work. Frustrating.

Anxiety

Our local Poundland has just closed. Repossession notice on the front of the store today. Brutal. WH Smith in the indoor shopping centre shut down a few weeks ago, and I noticed today that Body Shop has gone. The UK is very much on the slide, it seems.

Sorry mate

Where you gonna get your bath oils and body scrubs from now

Yeah it's a shame that you'll miss out like that
Check out Rochdale anyway

If you can stand soya milk, Tescos were doing that for 50p a litre when I was last in the UK. But there's an issue with the calcium content of soya milk. It's in there but it sinks to the bottom of the box, and moderate shaking isn't enough to put it right. I put cheap brewer's grade calcium chloride in the bread I bake, instead of salt. Don't know for sure if it fixes it, but I eat cheese and eggs as well so I'm not too worried.

My mother used to drink goats' milk (she was a Capricorn!). I might give that a try, but it doesn't seem to be cheap.

Goat's milk is supposed to have a much better balance of nutrients than cow's milk, so (they say) it avoids all the health problems, but as you say, it's not cheap. You could maybe get a goat for £200 or so and feed it for nowt if there's anywhere you can put it to graze, but I've not really researched it and it might get a lot more complicated than that.
