    No lamb, and no full joints of any description...... so no, I don't actually have everything in there :rotfl:

    Also have mushrooms in most of the mince based meals I have in there, and sweetcorn in a lot of the others. I know he doesn't eat sweetcorn, and have a funny feeling he mentioned not eating mushrooms either !! And no 'raw' mince in there either ATM ;)

    *faints* :rotfl::rotfl: well now you know what to look for in the Whoopsies lol! Do what I do with food OH doesn't like - just pretend it's not what he thinks it is ;) (though not quite sure what else the sweetcorn might be?? )

    Joints take up way toooooo much space. I had a few until the latter part of 2010 - when I took them all out, cooked them, sliced them, and put them back as individual portions :)

    He's actually aware I've done that (and that I reheat the meat by bunging it into the top layer of my steamer for 10 mins or so just before serving up a meal) - and to give him credit he didn't think it sounded as nuts as a lot of other friends do. So I suppose I do really have pork, beef and turkey joints in the freezer - it's just they're "pre cooked" ;)
    Do what I do with food OH doesn't like - just pretend it's not what he thinks it is ;)
    Would have to try and find out if it's "dislike" or "allergy" first. I know that mayonnaise is allergy.....
    (though not quite sure what else the sweetcorn might be?? )
    me neither :rotfl:

    Went to Edinburgh today with a friend & had a lovely day.
    Had a nice lunch which she kindly treated me to but we found a cup cake shop & a sweetie shop.
    I have cherry lips :j

    Ooh yummy Beanie, i think the old fashioned sweeties are definitely the best!!

    (((((((hugs))))))) Jinty, glad yesterday went as well as it could do & hope you have had a lovely catch up with your pal today x

    Spoon, i am intrigued at your naughtiness, have you been buying anything interesting??????? :D

    Spend for me today, but i think my most restrained grocery shop ever... 1 loaf of bread, 1 bag of onions, 1 bottle of r1bena (better than half price :j the only time i buy it even though i love it) & a pack of iced buns for a weekend treat. I didn't need anything else so i didn't buy it, i am an :A

    Weird day at work today though, had a phone call from the area manager, asking me how much money she could offer me not to leave :eek: (not that i'll be able to hand my notice in till all my checks are back)
    Was almost tempted to quote a ridiculous figure just to see if i was worth it :rotfl: but decided to be honest & had a good long chat about my horrible incident last week & she says she totally understands why i have to go (although she did keep mentioning that i still had time to change my mind!)
    It's the first time i have felt anything but relief that i'm going, but i've actually felt quite sad about it today, feel a bit odd, but i reckon the cup of medicinal tea & yummy iced bun have sorted me out (easily pleased eh :D)
