The Great Shitish Bakeoff

Woke up this morning at about 9am and got ready leisurely as had to wait in for a parcel delivery. I've signed Bella up to Butternut Box as the meals are proper food that humans could eat and not full of rubbish. It's not cheap but if it means she is happy then it will be worth it. I am trying anything to stop her itching. Speaking of which I found some of her Apoquil (however you spell it) tablets in the cupboard so have been giving her one tablet twice a day and it could be a combination of them and the probiotics but she isn't itching half as much. With a bit of luck once I break the scratching habit and it's calmed down she might be better.


Food arrived and took a pouch out to defrost for her tea, eef and vegetables. Just ghope she eats it.


Went and picked mum up and ran her into Oldham to withdraw some money from her building society then took her up to mine to stay at mine. I prewarned her that if she was coming mine we were baking as I had all the ingredients to make the orange cake again but this time lemon and lime flavoured. Mum also talked me into making scones. It was my first attempt but they turned out okay. I made two kinds, raisin and cherry as I don't like raisins or sultanas. Now I know how easy they are I will have another bash.

The lemon & lime cake will probably be a bit dryer than it should be because I paused the timer without realising and kept thinking "15 minute to go, that seems ages ago" lol. Anyway it was passable.


Gave Bella her first pouch of Butternut box and she normally leaves some (as you can see from her breakfast dish or the processed shite) but her dinner bowl was licked clean :-)

If she enjoys them, I am happy to pay the extra, plus they get delivered to your door so one less thing to have to think about. I will try her with a turkey one tomorrow and hen pork on Monday so I can see if she likes them all. Then I can keep trying new flavours to keep mixing things up so she doesn't get bored. If they end up being a winner I will be happy. I've got a discount code for people to get 60% off your first box (you can cancel anytime) so if you want to give them a try click HERE I feel better just knowing she is eating proper food not all nasties which can only be better for her, as long as she likes them all. The other good thing is you get them every 2 weeks so if there is s flavour she doesn't like I haven't got tons of them. Fingers crossed though she likes them all. Watch this space.


Packed mum off to my bedroom to watch telly so I could play on the PS4 with Fi lol. She only usually ends up on her phone when we watch telly downstairs. So I end up watching something I don't want watch to keep her happy and she isn't even watching it (oh then she falls asleep lol).
