    :D The very idea.:eek:

    God, you just reminded me that I had a sex dream about Donald Trump last night!
    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    Times is hard obviously:rotfl:

    Perhaps I should re-phrase that.....:cool:
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good evening everyone,
    PN- matching plates my word......:cool: I'm with Farway, mine are all plain white so no matching or otherwise issues and eassy to replace when they break/get chipped.

    The oven seal has been replaced again. Chap who came was a wee gem so hopefully this one isn't faulty.

    I've still not decided about dinner, it's back to bleeding baltic weather-wise and I want something hot and filling. Will have a rake but I think a baked spud may feature or pasta:)

    I've a side of salmon to portion but really CBA doing it tonight and I want to make a decent job of it so that knocks salmon off the choices unless I pop a portion of smoked trimmings out of the freezer and make a quick sauce with some spinach.

    For tea I went with the easy.... had a couple of the biggest of the spuds I bought (the 29p/2.5Kg bag from Mr T), topped with beans (already opened this morning) and grated cheese (why not, eh!).

    A nice belly filling winter warmer.... to try to keep my mind away from the fact I have chocolates and crisps in abundance in the "Xmas food bag" hidden away.

    I've already eaten half my 'xmas' chocolate bar and all my water biscuits :o

    Oh and I had mash last night so only one large potato left!

    I won't go shopping again till the new year, trouble is I'm eating all the 'good' stuff now, leaving myself with little to be festive with :cool:

    Oh you got to keep something back to festive with - hide the cheese! Mind you it is "Advent" so a daily treat is almost obligatory;):)

    I have prepped the roast potatoes for Xmas day. All open freezing as I type, will go and bag up shortly. Found a bottle of baileys in garage stash whilst looking if need bucks fizz , that has been brought in and put in fridge. ;)
    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.

    Lots of cheese with nothing to eat it with!

    But I do love cheese so it's not a problem :)

    Could be worth venturing back into a shop for....;)
    Just don't get the chocolate flavoured stuff, it's a step too far! (My friend got a sample of this http://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/dry-gin.html and let's just say we weren't impressed:eek:)
