    Good morning everyone. Happy birthday FC.
  • I am the same when someone hands you a knife and fork and touch the bit that is going in your mouth. I always think if they are the type of person to do that without realising are they the type of person who always washes their hands after going to the toilet:eek:And as you say, other people just don't get it.

    That's what I always think about too as so many people walk out of toilets without washing their hands :eek: I've watched them do it. OH told me that they had caterers at work for an event and he saw one of them walk out of the toilet without washing :eek: He reported him and he was asked to leave.

    To be honest I prefer not to eat in restaurants but I do sometimes because OH wants it. I always carry Dettol wipes in my bag and wipe down tables and cutlery. The cutlery almost never looks clean and wooden tables often feel sticky :eek:

    Morning :wave:


    Happy Birthday fairclaire, glad you got some well deserved pampering :bdaycake:


    My mission for the weekend is to find some hospital bag bargains - them coconuts cropped up again as apparently coconut water is the way to go as a more natural alternative to sports drinks

    Also need to find a dairy free cake recipe for work next week - I've done gluten free a few times but never dairy free. I may end up buying anyway as I keep overestimating the amount of energy I have, but it's been so long since I had an excuse to bake :)
