Hello all.  I have been having daily emails for CFO quite happily for many years, sometimes post too,  but since there was a message come up about folks pictures I get emails from everyone ever day instead of just the link.  Anyone know how I can stop this or should I just cancel the daily email?  Thanks xx

Hi whmf at the right hand top of the page you will see a profile button, click that and select edit profile. You'll get a menu of options on the left including notification preferences and you can select from there how you want things.:)

I ordered pizza last night. 4 slices for dinner and the last 4 slices for breakfast!

The perfect CFO breakfast, I trust it was cold & not wimpish warmed up ?

Rains back Maybe side salad is not a good idea for dinner?

Yes, it was cold, Papa John's pizza.

I just had some leftover curry for lunch and a few cups of green tea. It's fairly mild here today.

Good evening everyone, 
Yep breakfast pizza has to be cold  and accompanied by a big mug of builders strength tea IMHO  
Groceries arrived without puss managing to make a bid for freedom but the from the yowls because he'd been shut in the dining room would have suggested he was being tortured rather than confined. Much to both my back and puss's disgust I've spent a lot of today cleaning as not much got done last week. I've still to dust the living room but ran out of oomph after wielding "Henry" for ages and it won't take long tomorrow. The bathroom is thoroughly scrubbed and another two loads of laundry were tackled so I didn't do too badly. It's turned into another foul and windy night with gale force winds forecast to be back for the next day or so before returning again on Friday! My poor daffs that flowered early are getting well and truly battered  
CBA chopping veg tonight so just going to nuke steam some peas & spinach to have with the curry and I'll toast a pitta to dip. I'm not CFO again from tomorrow for anything from one day to the end of the week so I'm just going enjoy a quick meal . Veg chopping will need to resume tomorrow though as I've promised stovies for dinner!
ETA - love the sound of both these CFO recipes in today's Guardian once "normal" life resumes they'll be on my meal plan https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/feb/17/anchovy-crostini-pasta-rachel-roddy-recipes-for-one-a-kitchen-in-rome

🤫 how much,  I didn't know you were a supplier 😳 -  his lordship would like to buy a packet please.  I can usually get him in by saying 'do you want a treat, where's your treats' and he runs to where they're kept 😺 neighbours probably think I'm mad 🤪   Recipes look good and I have a open jar of anchovies in the cupboard 🤔. Mind you I'm also thinking pizza, thanks you lot  🙄

I hope your feeling better PN 

After a wet start with a brief hail storm, it's been a nice day although a bit chilly, but I can live with that better this rain.  Watching the news I was hoping Money was ok as Wales seems to have been hit hard

Lunch was the HM chicken and vegetable soup I made yesterday, it's very nice and worth the effort   Dinner was a meal of LOs the venison from Saturday with LO red cabbage and sweetheart cabbage.  Fish  tomorrow, salmon defrosting in the fridge I just need to work out what to do with it

I'm open to all reasonable offers they're the cheesy ones. He's off in a huff as there's no chicken scraps - I picked the carcass after making stock and instead of freezing the bits for soup I was an indulgent "Aunty" and he's been having them as my sis does that if she's roasted a chook and they're finished... I always thought cats were easier than pooches but I'm not convinced, there is no way he's going to be ecstatic over some carrot peelings like my pooches were

Brambling

Nope cats are definitely more fussy, his lordship is the first one I've had who turns his nose up at human food, maybe that says more about me than him 🤔 he now very occasionally takes a little bit of chicken 🐱🐾 I think to humour me

Talking of leftover pizza, that reminds me that I was in Sainsbobs the other day and they have a pizza counter where they make up a pizza for you - and for £1 they'll cook it!  The trouble I find with this is there are no instructions, they rely on you knowing what's what.... and I do find these staff tend to either be surly, or have the "efficient attitude" of customers knowing what they want and they're there to serve, so it gets awkward if you start asking questions and trying to process the information in front of them. 

My disability means that I am super slow at processing inbound verbal information, which isn't good if you're asking how it works, what the choices are, then having to process that information and work out what you want and then be able to form the words to ask for it; another bit of my disability means that I struggle to speak at all in some environments and under some conditions, so trying to process the information AND think/decide AND then be able to coherently form the words is sometimes outside of my abiilty... so it's usually best just shuffled past as a nice idea, but I daren't/can't "just ask"  

I might, however, re-investigate that Sainsbobs pizza idea, now pizza's been mentioned. 

Yesterday I had a shanghai noodle pot and some chocolate biscuits - and I remembered all those cup a soups I bought, so had two of those.  First one was one of Mr T's Stockwell Veg soup, 25p for four. Quite enjoyable in a cup a soup way. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/300455849 
The next one I tried was a chicken/veg from L1dl or 4ldi, can't remember which... that was also passable.

I have this problem too now, trying to process information surrounded by audio clutter is a real challenge, though that is mainly centred on speech & language more than anything. I think they have one of those pizza counters in a nearby Morrisons, but I hate Morrisons. On the noodle/ramen front I'm happy to report that the Coop stocks a limited range of Nissin - For 55p a pop which is not the best but certainly beats dragging around to find out where my favourite Chinese supermarket has moved to

Wednesday2000

I had wholemeal toast and tea for breakfast.

I am having a veggie burger in a roll with a slice of cheeze, salad, mustard and ketchup for lunch. I have had green tea with fresh lemon too.
