LS 5 4 5 Wednesday

Some time after nine the power came on at work ... 

First thing I did, though, was put my phone on charge, when that was fully charged, I put my power bank on charge. And, since work internet is back, turned off my little WiFi router.

Now I'm busy online ... I've ordered cat food, and placed a big order on Takealot ... I think they'll both arrive tomorrow ... 

I've also ordered flour, as I'm almost out. I spent way more than I meant to ... I detest rush shopping! But: I held back on anything I wasn't sure about ... and I only bought things I really do need!

Still, I spent way, way more than I had budgeted for this month! However, there was a huge special on Whiskas - over 30%! That was on Takealot, so I only saw that after I had bought what was available on ePetstore ... which was very little! ePetstore were out of stock on almost everything! I bought 7 boxes on ePetstore and 6 more on Takealot - for the 6 on Takealot I paid just over half of what I paid ePetstore! I basically have enough Whiskas to last 2, maybe 3 months! Depends on how often Mewthos twists my rubber arm, ha ha!

I also bought 2 bags of 2kg Whiskas dry food ... for the ferals. Cheaper per kg than the Iams and Royal Canin they're getting now ... 

They had a huge discount on shampoo, and I need shampoo soon. Another huge discount on cat litter, and I have none in stock, so I took 2 bags. Vacuum bag rolls were available again, the right size - again at a huge discount, so I took 1 packet. Rehidrat was available cheaper than I've seen it in months, so I took a box.

I got myself larger record cards, for recipes; and a mop! As I've said, the one I've been using at home is falling apart. I looked at various options, all I want is a simple spaghetti mop - but one I don't have to wring out by hand. That's all. I did my research, though - read the reviews, checked out the video ... I think it'll do the job.

Oh, and for my treat, I got 2 solar powered garden lights.

Load shedding tonight again from six to eight ... then again from midnight till two. But tomorrow afternoon will be from four to six.

Anyway ... time to go home, at last!
