This week has been a crap one. I have emptied my cupboards, and have only been buying food for a week in advance. On Sunday I went to do just that to find my card had been canceled and I have no access to any money. I've been a victim of fraud, the bank after finding this (and failing to tell me) froze everything. With insurance and what not I'm left with ten quid until Friday
Then on Monday the chickens ran out of chicken food. At eight quid a bag, I thought sod it they can live on scraps and bought them a bag of oats for porridge twice a day (78p from my ten pound) with the rest I got pasta, rice, bread ,milk and frozen veg (and resolved never to empty my usually overfull cupboards and freezer in the name of less waste ever again
)
My friend visited today, bringing a lovely cake to cheer me, and went on to scold me for not using the money on chicken food and borrowing food from friends and family for me and DC. Her argument is the chickens cannot fend for themselves I am entirely responsible for them and if she wasn't my friend she might report me for cruelty aibu? I suppose I could have asked about for spare bags of pasta and rice, or had dinner at my mums for the week, but, really? They're big fat chickens who get lots of green stuff from the garden and are getting three litres of porridge a day! Surely DC come first, it's only a few days.
