Hope all goes well at the dentist Happy .My FIL was a dentist (passed away now) so didn't mind sitting in his chair but now dread going to the dentist although my dentist now is very nice. Thankfully my teeth are OK so just go for 6 monthly check ups..:)

This thread makes me eat more, with all the recipes, photos of home cooking and with everyone saying what they are cooking for dinner..:rotfl::rotfl: Am starting Zumba Wednesday ...a friend has been nagging me to join her for a while.....at least it will burn off all the extra calories...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We only have 3. Grey is household waste, blue for paper, plastics & tins, green for food and garden waste excluding soil. Nothing for glass which is a pain given how many glass jars of baby food I go through.

We have the usual grey/black bin for landfill,
a black kerbbie box for recyclable stuff
and then a green bucket/box for food waste.

My folks can't be bothered with it all DS sorts it all out and tells them off for putting things in the wrong place. The thing that anoys me most is my mum refuses to put alcohol bottles or tins in the box because she doesn't want people in the street thinking they're alcos by putting a bottle and a few beer tins out, I don't thinnk she's ever seen the other boxes in the street on a Monday morning :rotfl:

I love going to the dentist HC. A nice lie down and a bit of pampering. Enjoy.
I need to get my printer working to print off my Surf coupon while the offer is on.

Fourp. Your dilemma is the same as mine was a couple of years back. Decaf tea just doesn't have the same hit and green tea or herb teas aren't the same. I needed something that tasted fan and could have the addition of sugar and milk.

I found REDBUSH tea (sometimes known as rooibos)

It is On offer at Ts for 84p for 40 bags. Try it. You won't look back. It reminds me a little of earl grey.

It gives the same satisfaction as a real cuppa and you can add the sugar n milk. It is naturally decaf without processing. It also has amazing health benefits.

I challenge you to try it and report back here!!!

I have been drinking redbush tea for a while, it's lovely. The T-bags can be pricey though. I found the tetley version £1 for 80 teabags in B &M last month.

I cleared out my cupboards last week and i found 5 jars of my 1p whole chestnuts hiding at the back. I have run out of ideas. Does anyone know what to do with them? I remember buying them 2 years ago and the SEL saying 1p. I wonder what has happened since then and now they cannot sell items for 1p.

Fourp....i used to drink coffee with 2 sugars in and decided to cut it out, but just couldnt drink it without it....so i 'weaned' myself off it! Week one I cut out half a spoon of sugar...then once I'd got used to that and it was fine, I cut it down to 1 spoon...then on and on til I was only putting in about 1/4 of a spoon of sugar...could hardly taste it so then went for nothing and it was fine....maybe worth a try that way instead of going 'cold turkey' so to speak? hth

Cheers Looby , I just had a cuppa with my dinner and had 1 sugar , it was managedable as I dunked 3 buttery crumpets in my tea .

When I moved from the Welsh valleys where I had lived for the majority of my life I made a remark to a lady on a local market stall that I often mop up my Sunday dinner gravy with a slice of bread .She looked at me as though I'd put a knife in her heart and asked if I was from South Wales and explained that she hadn't encountered the habit until her daughters boy friend (who's from Port Talbot) did the same at a recent Sunday lunch .

I was under the impression that many folk mopped u gravy with a slice of bread ....maybe she was posh .

Is this a ' Welsh ' thing or do other MSE'rs do similar things .

ps ...I don't like lamb but love mopping up gravy with lamb juices , it's the best .

I had to cut my sugar out gradually. 3 spoons (I kid you not!) to 2 spoons. 2 spoons to 1.5. 1.5 to 1 etc until now I do not sweeten my tea at all.

You'll get there. My sugar bill has gone down considerably as I drink about 10 mugs a day (redbush counts as your daily liquid intake!). Imagine how much sugar I was using:eek:

Now I only use it when baking.

Exactly JumbleJack , I see the sugar bag going quickly and realise it's all in me .
I did stop sugar for ages when my Dad refused to buy it during the sugar shortage in the early 70's - he thought the supermarkets put up the price way to high and wouldn't buy any ...I soon learnt to do without it then and I'm sure I can re-educate myself again .
