Nice people thread part 5 - nicely does it

Our new village pub has good food, nice flatwhere and serving dishes , proper napkins and sometimes white table cloths. I should love it, but its lacking soul. I think if i went twice a week for a few months it would start to feel more familiar to me which would do instead of soul, but...can't be bothered.

I could make macaroni cheese if only I had: macaroni, flour, milk. I've only got cheese.....

I think I've still got some sprouting spuds (ex Xmas leftovers) .... could whip up a cheesy mash and beans.

I'll look once I get far too hungry to keep putting it off.

Income today's only £8, so feeling poor ... so won't be getting chips.

Worth every penny in my books, to have a special experience.

Next time splash out on a posh hotel too, to lengthen the full "posh" experience.

I'd not be able to enjoy a meal that cost as much as a week's holiday in a caravan would cost me!

Heck, as I can't even afford a week's holiday in a caravan, I know where I'd spend the money

You can still have a special experience on a budget though PN, last mothers day, James gave me money to treat myself to a meal out...we went to an all you can eat Chinese buffet (£4.99 a head) and it was the best Mothers day I have ever had.

Because one of my sons treated me to it.

There's that little word again "we". Eating out alone is no fun.

And chinese buffets round this way at £9, not £4.99. And they're only in winter - and a 20 mile round trip.

I couldn't be bothered to look to see how dire the spuds had got... discovered an unopened packet of Value Dried Fruit in the cupboard (I obviously intended making a spotted !!!!!! that I never got round to)... so I've tipped some of that into a little plastic pot and am scoffing that

Meal cost is probably 4p

I was going to treat you to dim sum in london ages ago when we were talking about it here but then you revealed you dislike crucial ingredients.

I can't remember what was in those. Never had dim sum.

I'm picking my next town.... and it's scarey really. Randomly having to pick a destination, having never been there. How do you know if you're in a crack den area?

It's got beaches and railways and shops and stuff. Should be good. Rents are high though; have to get one of those jobs malarkeys.
