Thanks all for participating in #NotAloneTalk tonight. Good to see everyone. Hope you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Remember, despite all the world weirdness, we can stay connected and help each other. Take care and stay safe until the next time. TTFN

Hope all goes well with the sorting. Moving house can be stressful

How / where are you battling the flies?

Best of luck with the cleaning tasks

The Nutcrafter Creamery do really nice vegan soft cheese. Probably the best vegan cheese weโ€™ve found. Not stocked in supermarkets but worth trying if you can find it somewhere - probably have to order online unless you have a vegan supermarket/shop near you

Best to rest if youโ€™re not feeling well. Ok to do that. Jobs can wait till tomorrow.

Any craft projects on the go?

Nutritional yeast is good for a cheesy flavour to sprinkle on things or use to make a cheese sauce.

โ€œI am Nut Ok - Fetamorphosisโ€ is the vegan feta I was talking about

Iโ€™ve been there (Hooters) a couple of times - on stag dos. Youโ€™re not missing out on anything by not going.
The Old Trip is worth a visit though

As long as you enjoyed it, thatโ€™s the main thing. Sounds like a good way to use up alcohol and experiment at the same time

There are some good vegan cheeses. Cathedral city does a good vegan cheese. Thereโ€™s a nice vegan feta too - I canโ€™t remember the name of it right now though.

What burgers are you getting?

Hi Amber. Good to hear youโ€™re back home and hope everything went well at the hospital.

Hope you and your mum enjoy the film ๐Ÿฟ

Hope you had a nice time at your Mumโ€™s. Best of luck with the cleaning.

I lived in Nottingham for a year. Never went to the caves. You can visit the oldest pub in the UK too in Nottingham (if youโ€™re partial to an ale that is).

Vegan burgers for lunch. Yummy - although quite messy to eat

Nice to have peace and quiet on a walk.

Thatโ€™s good it went well. Best of luck for the one tomorrow. Similar sort of role?

Did you enjoy being out for a walk in the rain? Hopefully youโ€™re dry now.

Any news about your interview?

Oh dear. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe a nice hot bath or shower to help with the aches and pains.

Iโ€™m ok thanks. Just a day of work but glad itโ€™s Friday and the weekend is near ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
