    Well I've come home to the dodgy lodger who has closed my windows in my bedroom despite a notice on my windowsill asking her not to. What next? Do you think I should offer to boot her out or just shoot her? (She is noticeably trying to avoid me - someone should tell her that I am here until Monday evening You can run but you can't hide).

    p.s. I appear to have forgotten wine from my food budget!

    p.p.s. no, it is there under entertainment - balancing a bottle of shiraz on my nose!!!!


    Good grief-That is awful going into your private room like that. Sorry but it would be a shooting from me and a boot out...what a cheeky mare:cool:

    What a nice pub :D

    That brother wants shooting :(

    Tomatoes?? Just tomatoes?? I suppose it is a bit of an improvement :rotfl:

    Good luck with the room tonight, fingers crossed that it is just what you are looking for and without a barking landlord/lady (should that be landperson nowadays?)

    Probably should be landperson but it sounds WIERD:eek:

    Think I've not written clearly. It is the girlfriend who deemed herself next of kin and didn't tell the brother that his brother (her boyfriend)(my ex-boyfriend) was critical in hospital. Interestingly she is married!!!

    My life is simple. Tonights viewing - Room small, single bed, woman okay. I have a roof over my head from which to view other rooms. My life is not fantastic but it is okay for now.

    My Wednesday nights are excellent. :beer::beer::beer:

    I think the supermarket noodles would involve a pot though Z and hanging around in the kitchen longer...

    Squish them into the bottom of a large container (I use one of those insulated travel food "mugs"). Pour boiling water from the kettle over it. Stick the lid on. Wait 4 minutes. Eat.

    All this "take it out the packet and boil it in a pan for 4 minutes" is just flim-flam from the supermarkets trying to pretend it's proper food.

    So is that a goer or a no-goer?

    Curry is a far better breakfast than beer and crisps :-)

    No - that's unbalanced. You want beer, crisps AND curry. Remember - I did say *part* of a nutritious breakfast.

    Kebab needs to be in there somewhere too...

    Pizza I've always found.

    I know someone who cut their foot on a piece of kebab meat they dropped the previous evening!!

    Todays meals;
    McDonald's porridge with no jam (must pay more attention!)
    Last bun from yesterday with 2 cheese triangles and coleslaw
    Half last nights chinese.

    Still not exactly nutritious. ;)

    IMPRESSIVE!


    I know I can be a clumsy shiite at times, but that blows me away...

    A bit bad when you go in for burger and come out with porridge... ;)

    You'll get there. So long as you're treating you gently.
