Truth

[living-solo-tips]

Always take a shower/bath with your phone nearby. With a decently charged battery.

When I say nearby I mean within reach if you’re lying on the floor. I often leave mine on the toilet seat. If I fall in my shower I can crawl out and reach up and get it.

First Aid & Sick kit

I recently came across this tip and I think it’s brilliant, but haven’t yet done it. Let me know if you have any extra tips and tricks!

Always have a First aid/medicine kit and a ‘Sick Kit’ to hand.

- The first aid kit, is well, a first aid kit. Bandages, burn cream, scissors, gauze etc. Keep in a location that is easy to reach - perhaps at the bottom of a cupboard. If you live in a house, it might be worth having one upstairs and one downstairs, in case you injure your leg and you can’t get down/up stairs.

- Keep medicines topped up. Always have a stock of hayfever tablets, cough syrup, ibuprofen/paracetamol etc, cold and flu meds like Lemsip or Beechams. Keep a decent box of tissues (like Kleenex) reserved to use if you get a cold suddenly.

- Create a ‘Sick Kit’ - Canned soups, Pot Noodles/Super Noddles, perhaps a few herbal teas, your favorite chocolate/snack and some crackers in reserve so if you get hit with a sudden sickness you have food to hand that is easy to ‘cook’ and eat. It might be worth keeping a few plain flavored ice lollies in the freezer in case you get a vomiting bug. Sucking on the lollies helps intake your liquids.

Please note;

In addition to the above I’ve been made aware that syrup based medicines can attract bacteria if you are not actually using the medicine.

It might be best to keep medicine in tablet or powder form and regularly check the Best Before/Use By date to make sure nothing has expired 👍🏼

I’ve been really conscious of the environment lately and trying my best to reduce waste in all areas of my life.

I realised I was throwing away a lot of milk as it was over it’s expiry date or was starting to go ‘off’. So, I bought Coffee mate creamer. It’s a powder that is a substitute for milk. It’s actually quite nice. I think you can also get flavoured ones (hazelnut?) . It wasn’t too expensive - much much cheaper than actual milk. It was £2.60 for 500g.

I will keep the tin for storage once I’ve used it.

I think it’d be useful to take on short breaks or camping trips also 🏕

It’s ok to be jealous and mad and sad and angry and any other “negative” emotion… You’re not being toxic you’re being human. The point at which you become toxic is when you’re letting these emotions seep into how you treat others

I needed to hear this, hope it helps some of you too 💓💓

Chicken and mushrooms in red wine jus

Feat. Red wine stock pots from Tesco

Diced chicken in a frying pan. Add leeks and red wine stock pot.

Stir occasionally and add a sploosh of water so it doesn’t dry and you get a bit of sauce going.

Add mushrooms. Cook till done.

I had mine with rice but I think mashed potatoes are better.

It’s not a one pot meal as such but almost. Can be quite salty just from the stock so wouldn’t add salt. Would recommend adding boiling water so the stock pot dissolves easier.

I’ve been trying this out and it’s been quite helpful 🤗

Remember

Living alone is hard - you do EVERYTHING yourself. Remember to take time out regularly to rewind, relax and recharge 💓
