    guess who forgot to set the timer on the oven....tea will be the blackened version of pasta bake this evening....

    At least the salad will be edible

    My son heated his cornflakes in the microwave for 5 minutes once:eek:

    I wasn't witness to the state of whatever was left in the bowl, he was away with my OH at the time, but apparently it was not edible :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi

    What's been going on, been away for a month.

    There was a referendum and we voted to leave. So we exited MSE.

    sadly a thrush has just flown straight into the patio window and it broke its neck, only lasted a few seconds -
    normally we take anything injured we find to the RSPCA place at Stapley grange.
    OH lifted a square of lawn to bury it as it did not feel right to put it in the bin.

    quite upsetting, feel quite tearful.

    I think the karma in the house is all wrong and I really don't know enough to even begin trying to putting it right

    It took me a good 6 months to adjust when we moved. I felt like an imposter for far too long. Eventually painting one wall of one room gave me the oomph I needed to consider it my home.

    That reminds me what happened in the EU referendum? Baguette or Brisket?

    TM, those pick-ups you picked up, did you see that there was cash back on COS with them?

    On the shopping front, those 900ml Tresemme are back to full price now :eek:
    Oh pants I forgot to collect mine from Mr Shoes, how long do they keep orders for does anyone know please :o

    Mine have been showing as despatched since last Thursday but have not been received by my local store. I called in today, (for the third day in a row), to see if they had arrived but no joy. Have now been re-ordered and the store manager put 400 points on my Advantage card as an apology....soooo, nearly 16 squids worth of conditioner for free. Doing well on the 'points to say sorry' front recently as got 750 awarded the other day for the shabby state of the smelly Orla Kiely soaps, (via c/s online), so they were free too. :j
