At least wellies would.. erm... form some kind or receptacle to... erm... keep... stuff contained and not go all over the lovely rugs in EnnnEssssDeeee Towers.

Oh yeah, Marmite... I've got a bone to pick with you...

On the VERY FIRST LINE of this thread it says something about "mildly insane". Mildy?!?!?! Total bonkersness I would say. Thank you (all) for making me so welcome!

Unfortuanately he's still wearing Saturday's high-heeled,pink,sparkly wellies (he's smitten!)

No wonder we lost the hockey, Hubert was drawing everyone's attention away from the job in hand!

Don't know if I can call today yet...its 4.23pm, I haven't been outside in over 8 hours, I am not currently allowed to open my office window due to scaffolders, we do not have air conditioning and therefore I am close to melting...a soon to follow hour sitting in an airless tin can of a train may push me over the edge into...I NEED AN ICE CREAM!! Or at least a drink with Ice in, ...which I realise can be free by the wonders of an ice tray and a freezer...but alas we have no space in our freezer for such a tray due to all the food...and I thought it was so clever to be stocked up...idiot! :wall:

From someone who was (until the past couple of weeks) in exactly the same boat, a bottle of (tap) water kept in the fridge is just as good..... or it is if you're not wanting to add them to an alcoholic drink

Sitting here spitting and cursing as I am trying to make last minute amendments to the online shopping order (due delivery tomorrow) and the A$da site is playing silly beggars and not letting me check out. Will try again later. Sodding interwebulations!

However....in ye olde days, before t'internet, there was no such thing as the monthly payday online shop. Every day or two, or when the old man handed over his weekly paypacket, you would trot into town with your wicker basket and go from shop to shop, market stall to market stall, then schlepp all the way back home with a now heavily laden basket. So I should be grateful for modern technology, I suppose. But I'm still cursing.....

In some ways I wish things were simple again. Does anyone really enjoy going in a shop (physically or online) and being confronted with 45 different bottles of shampoo, for example? Or 6 different brands of tinned tomatoes? Or 50 different packets of breakfast cereal? Anyone else find so much choice exhausting?

My mission, then, is to reduce the amount of shopping I do, and I have today placed my first Approved Foods order for storecupboard stuff.

And that, in a longwinded round the houses kind of way, is why today will not be a NSD.

Because I know you were all biting your nails in anticipation ... I got a nice cold drink when I got home ... A pre-cooled, need to use it up because it's been open since Saturday, glass of fizz

AND therefore NSD #15 for me - oh yeeaahhh!
