Living on next to nought - is that the key?

Good Morning :hello:

Definitely cooler this morning, but not as cold as anticipated - so we're up to a good start already this morning

I've the TV listings guide to get today, and so may as well replenish the banana count too Hopefully that will be it for spends though, as the purse is starting to feel very light

Dinner this evening was to be a portion of lasagne out of the freezer (think I made it last month) with a baked potato. But I shall take another look at the veg mountain, as there is more pumpkin left than I had anticipated and I most certainly don't want to waste it - it's far too good for the compost heap! Oh, that reminds me - who [STRIKE]the h3ll[/STRIKE] on earth is wasting all this food? Pippi said that the new UK food waste figures are out - on average households throw away £60 of food per month. I have never been so proud to puff out my chest and say, 'We at Greying Towers are decidedly BELOW average'.......:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Jeepers if it gets to 6 pence we have to have a 3 day internal enquiry as to where systems and procedures have gone wrong :rotfl:

Right, I'm away to seize the day. Hope you have a great day.

Thank you for reading, commenting and dropping by. I greatly appreciate it.

See y'all later.

About the same here on the food waste thing - horrifying that people throw out that much stuff, but I can't quite say I'm surprised - drives me mad seeing what they waste in the office, although that seems to have improved a little since I got here.....

It was definitely as cold as anticipated this morning, wasn't it! Flipping ARCTIC down here - was VERY glad of my scarf, gloves etc. Much chillier and the stripey hat will be making an appearance.

The rose sounds wonderful - we have one still flowering as well but I suspect it will have shrugged off its remaining petals last night as we very definitely had a frost. Noticed this morning that our beautiful Silver Birches outside have all shivered their last leaves onto the ground since yesterday.

Hello, I don't follow many diaries, but I do look in on yours, as I always find it interesting.

I've just de-lurked to say '£60 worth of food chucked away on average????'

OMG ! That is truly shocking.

And if that is the average, there's people chucking away even more.

Good heavens above

I'll go and lurk again now!:rotfl:

You're unusually quiet Mrs Greying - all OK I hope?

I dont normally post much on here, but I do follow Greying Pilgrim avidly because I find her optimism and joi-de-vivre help set my day into a positive frame, so am missing her posts lately. I do hope she and Mr Greying have won the pools and are currently on a round the world cruise, and just doesnt have the time to post but, if not, I hope you are well Mrs Greying
