Re: A self sufficient Christmas?
Nothing, really... Sigh. Well, I still have one Brussels sprouts plant in the garden - don't know whether that'll survive until Christmas, though.

Re: Plastic Free July
I buy my coffee (and some tea) from a very old and wonderful shop in Dundee, where they'll re-fill their own bags when you bring them back. So not 100% waste free, but I can use a bag at least 10 times rather than once!

Re: Black Friday
I'll try to take the day off work next year - forgot all about it this time. Traffic was even worse than on a normal Friday afternoon in Aberdeen - made the bus very late, and I almost missed my connection... Absolutely can't seen the attraction of shoving and fighting to be able to say you've got a...

Re: Self sufficientish in 2019
This year though, Lidl for some inane reason decided that their toilet roll tubes needed glazing on the inside, which made them waterproof and unable to quickly rot. I haven't noticed that yet - maybe I buy a different sort? I always go for Lidl's cheapest... Or they sell a different kind in Irelan...
