Is that a staff shop Lynsey? Would you be willing to share what you got?

I am being "good" and need to get my share of chocolatey stuff just by reading about it.....;)

........although, come to think about it, I suppose Nestle do all sorts of stuff, its just the name that makes me think choc, I suppose that because I am so old!

NB: I didnt mean SHARE share of course!! Just tell us!!

^ I miss all those bargains even though I shouldn't have eaten it lol.


Today:

Breakfast - banana followed by Dorset Cereals Muesli and Rachel's vanilla yoghurt - just tried small bit as I've never eaten 'soggy' cereal ... liked it, made a change from toast!

Lunch - put a jacket potato in from the veg box, will have with butter and cheese

Dinner - got so much choice in the fridge for once I've no idea yet!

:eek::eek::eek: My carrot and lentil stew looks like it's got tiny worms in it!!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

ok. I realise it's highly unlikely that it's worms, but I can't think what it'll be. They're tiny pale things that are shaped like a letter C. Gunna have to scroll back to see what I put in it lol.

Eek, !!!!!! are they??!! Not real worms are they?
Maybe serve it to the ex just in case...


To join you I have just found something living in my table this morning and it's moving! I turned it up on end to have a tidy up and there was a hole with a growing small pile of sawdust around it and something in it :eek: the table came back with me from abroad some years ago so not sure if this is a new UK bug or something that has been living in it a while... not sure what to do..

Breakfast today is porridge oats (first time using ALDI essentials oats after my stock of Oats so Simple sachets ran out, just as quick/easy/nice) with blueberries, chopped walnuts and 1 tsp honey.

For lunch I am going use up a HM ready meal from the freezer with steamed broccoli. I need to use up some chocolate philly (bought 2 for 99p at the 99p store but it was a bad choice as I have hardly touched them... not such a bargain now!) Does anyone have any idea on something I could do to use them up?

[edit] Just had a google, will be making this - http://www.philadelphia.co.uk/philadelphia3/page?siteid=philadelphia3-prd&locale=uken1&PagecRef=609&rid=47526

Maggots?? Maybe just maggots, they tend to curl into a letter "C".

Kirri, I've already had a few mouthfuls of it... I think I'm going to throw it. It's put me right off. You can see them on this pic, left hand side around the middle. Won't be to do with the lentils will it?



Good luck with your creepy crawly lol. Not sure what's worse! Poke it with a sharp skewer and see if you spear anything! Try not to imagine what might come out. :eek:

Lynsey - Don't say that lol. I'm feeling... fragile now lol.

Thank you, it all sounds delicious!!

And how nice that retired emplyees still get a wee perk, I love hearing about companies who do a bit extra for the people who work/have worked, for them :T
