I do. I don't think I could fit anything else into it though.

Time to eat it and stop buying yellow labels for a bit!

You need to start eating it all then!

Don't forget at the beginning of September you need to start eating it all down .... so that by mid-December it's virtually empty again.... enabling you to really benefit from any last minute bargains you get over Xmas/early January
Not to mention your own leftovers ....

And all the wonderful veg I'll be growing (crosses fingers)

H is still waiting for recovery truck. No need to get angry when he can 'think about what you've done' for two hours.

Fun ... such an odd word.
Men think fun = sex, preferably without strings, possibly a bit kinky.
Women think fun = going out for the day, having a steaming mug of hot chocolate with a flake/cream and maybe a sticky bun.

When used in conversation, the word can therefore be misunderstood..... you might already have received 2-3 PMs from random MSE males offering to help you with your search for "fun".

PM sent!

I never see reduced stuff. Used to see it - now stuff's reduced by 10-20p and whisked off the shelves by people.... and it's usually more expensive stuff than I'd be buying anyway.

I think the only thing I stand a slim chance of getting might be some half price bread once a fortnight.

It's not like a few years ago, where there'd be a good selection to be found quite often, with usually one item I'd want.

My freezer is already mentally filled with: muffins, crumpets, peas, oven chips, fish fingers, chicken dippers .... and I'll probably then make some stuff including: kebab meat, maybe some potato cakes, cheese omelettes (maybe) - although they're easy enough to knock up on the fly in 3 minutes anyway.

So he'll sit for two hours, thinking of the wrath he'll walk into when he arrives home tired .... only to discover his wife's hit the bottle early and is lying in an unkempt home, probably still in her PJs.... she'll half open one booze-swollen eye and slur "told ya" before wetting herself and falling asleep/snoring where she's fallen.

Happy Easter.

In a simple paragraph you explain why I've not been with an English woman since I was 15.

In most of the world men and women both enjoy sex and the best way to have sex is in a consensual and mutually enjoyable form.

Carry On! sex is about men lovin it and women hating it. It's like Tom and Jerry.

Quite possibly not that far from the truth! I am sober atm because I have to collect him from the garage when he gets there. But pj's and unkempt house, yup.

Oh, I forgot about veg. I'll buy some frozen veg ... I'll also buy some chillies and lob those into the freezer (just lob them in, still in the packet, then slice what I need when I need it).

I might try some pots .... simple stuff. Maybe some rosemary in the garden and in pots I might try a chilli plant and a couple of herbs on a windowsill (got to see if the window sills are deep enough for that, they also have venetians). Kitchen windowsill (however big it is) does get full sun, so probably ideal... but I'm thinking of putting in a storage/window seat there (for comfortable sitting, staring out of the window and/or if/when waiting for a delivery or a person to arrive). It might be that lounging on a comfy window seat means that pots on window sills are impractical.

Working in a shop is much better than working as a kitchen porter...

I was a washer upper in my school days, hard work but great fun and with a 3 course meal thrown in!

I progressed to being the person responsible for cutting salad items into pretty shapes, more involved but not as much fun to be honest and by the time you had made a pretty shape out of 50 radishes, you never wanted to see another one again.

I have worked in a shop before, a part time job in a newsagents whilst still at school...it was ok.
