Hope you have luck with the agencies. Last week I took my nephew round a few with his CV and while the receptionists took them, they told him he would have to register on line and be in contact that way. None of them mentioned going in for an interview or meeting any of the staff there to find out what he was looking for.

Thanks karonher.
This is what is putting me off. I may give one or two a phonecall to clarify .

Well, just leave out the onions and garlic. They're there to give extra flavour, so you can leave them out.


Sorry MrsP! :rotfl:

Well I've just been to the job centre for my first appointment . I actually was given another appointment to save me going backwards and forwards . I was about 7 mins late as I couldn't find the place .
Luckily I was seen to . They all seem very nice and were very accommodating . Apart from the smell of dead bodies it was ok

I was advised to get a fit note from doctor . They seem to want to give me all they can . " Do you want to work ?" Surprised me
I obviously said yes and was keen . I did say that I don't want to be a problem to anybody , but they spent time assuring me that they are there for me . They don't want me to attend again until middle of April ..not the first . I have a pin no .now .
The only thing I forgot to ask is if I get paid on Tuesday .

Now to phone for dr appt .
Enjoy the weekend ..

AC - cooked mince will be fine in the fridge - it can last up to a couple of days if it wasn't cooked on use by date......

Thanks Anna wow! My fridge is getting a makeover from now on.
I'm so used to chucking stuff in there and cooking everything as soon as I get it and the day after . It seems I'm getting responsible at last .
I know bread seems to last forever in there .

I just looked at the various stuff inputted on my universal credit Acct
I should be getting £315 on Tuesday . I assume it'll be less when I get next payment . I have dr appt in 11 days time .

A good one for mince is to batch cook spag bol and then freeze the rest, really easy to then defrost in microwave and just cook up pasta

I'm so pleased to read that things seem to be working out for your AC - dramatic change in last 24 months.

Thanks Anna
I'll just keep plugging away , taking nothing for granted. People still don't want to sit next to me on bus . Not hygiene reasons obviously :rotfl:
Still lots of weight to lose etc

You could also take a portion of the bolognese, put it in an ovenproof dish, and add some of your portioned mash, on top. Bung in the oven for about 25 minutes, and you've got cottage pie.


Or you can use the bolognese as a topping for jacket potatoes.


Add some kidney beans and some chilli powder, and you've got chilli.


It's really versatile.

Well , I felt a slightly sore throat on Friday . Last night my nose started continuously running . So I now have a cold . I had a hot toddy and nurofen ,and that nose is still running . The sore throat has morphed into a random cough. So I had to cancel tomorrow's session with mr trainer. Rescheduled for weds lunchtime . We'll see.

I made fantastic mash yesterday , using heavy cream and milk .I surprised myself there . Tbh I could've done with lazy comfort stuff like crisps or snack a jacks . I do have snickers though ..:o
