    I am off my food this afternoon (which takes a lot) on account of finding a sandwich in DH's car so old that it was turning to liquid.

    :rotfl: Don't know about me being useful, I'd just persuade you to drive a more fun car, smallholding. :D

    As for the liquid sandwich ... the thought alone turned my stomach, glad I didn't have to deal with that.
