    Borrowed £20 out of OH's wallet on Wednesday as there was a desk I wanted to buy on Gumtree which was £40 and I was a bit short.  Today I sold one of MiL's rollators also on Gumtree and gave the £25 to OH and said - here's the money to buy fish and chips tonight.  It'll only cost him less than half that so he can't feel too agrieved.

    I got a pack of mushrooms at half price yesterday so will use some of them with tomatoes + buttered toast and fried eggs for our meal tonight.

    Husband fetched us a chippy tea tonight. I had children's fishcake, chips and peas. I'm not sure what the others had. They sat at the table and I slobbed out on the sofa to eat.

    Oh that looks delicious!

    Mister CJ is on a Boy’s Day Out at the RAF Fairford air show today and I have no idea what time he’ll be back and whether or not he will be hungry. I’m planning a simple salad for me, and there are a couple of leftover stuffed red peppers which I can bung in the microwave for him if needed.

    @Islandmaid
    I keep waiting for my dinner invite!!!   :smiley:

    It was all decided that we were going to have tuna steaks and cous cous but I've just been issued orders to pick up a leg of lamb that I need to make into souvlaki to be served with pita, a feta/greek salad and taramasalata.

    I'll be getting both and we'll be eating outside either way.
