    Evening All,

    Picked up my 2 venus orders. None available 4-6pm but got subs on my 6-8pm order so put those back in the locker for a refund.

    All good on the comparison but Comfort has now gone back up to £3 at Waitees.

    Cheers,
    Sad_Dad
  • Ahhh all caught up! Enterprise my thoughts are with you and your family x

    Things that happened this week (largely irrelevant though :rotfl:)

    - My friend at work won £2400 on the Euromillions getting both bonus numbers and 4 numbers - his 5th number was one away and he's gutted.

    - I had trouble uploading a receipt to COS, so deleted and reinstalled the app and it works again.

    - I'm slowly getting more agency work, but tiring of the pattern of working 12+ hour shifts, working every weekend then having a week off. I'm thinking of doing some proper adulting and getting a full time job :eek: (but still working for my agencies some weekends, as I love my work, just not the infrequency of it).

    - Emma and I went Pok!mon hunting (she says 'hello') - I now have 200 of the gits and she can't wait to finish her current contract. I probably should be embarrassed to still play the game, but I love the random places I'm visiting to catch 'em all.

    - I also have some sort of lurgy thanks to Excel's wonderful lack of ventilation. Who the hell organises a motorbike show and lets the riders rev up inside?! Bloody fumes and a haze everywhere.

    That's pretty much it. Hope you're all ok. If you're in need of a hug jump in the middle :grouphug: If you're looking for more than that, see DM :rotfl:

    I had this argument with a (now ex) vegetarian. He argued that we should not eat meat because the animals had a right to life. I replied that the only reason a lot are alive is because we breed them to eat. I might also have mentioned that we were actually designed to eat meat and that is the way the body works. I told him we were put on this earth to control the quantities of various animals so they don't overbreed and do themselves out of territory, same as lions etc.



    Ironically you have probably got the identical recipes in there to the ones I have :rotfl::rotfl:

    I think a lot of people disagree with how the animals are treated with little care for their welfare.

    Will look in the box for recipes , never thought of that .:o:rotfl:

    Come on then, put me out of my misery, what do animals produce that they do eat? (Hmmm, just thought, some animals eat their babies, so does that mean vegans ca.......no!)


    And while you are o, tell us what you have used your waffle maker for please if it wasnt waffles :p

    I horrified my vegan friends once. I asked them why they were vegan (out of curiosity) and they replied it's because animals have no choice to be harmed etc. So I asked them if they would consider cannibalism on the basis that some people actually want to be cannibalised. Ended up in a huge ethics debate for an hour and them asking me 'why would you think that?!' :rotfl:

    When you've got the set in the frame they will will look stunning, especially with the books :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Working all over London, walking a lot to hatch eggs/earn candies and only recently using a radar to find the super rares and following Twitter groups to find out where the nests are. I just want an Unown :o
