Am going to the Oops discount food store later, to see if they have anymore spinach n mushroom parcels.They were lush, n only 79p for four big ones 😊
PN , I can't believe your housing probs are carrying on, even in the new place

Forgot to mention, while I was out I spotted my first set of Christmas decorations on the outside of a house, reindeer, Santa etc

Bah Humbug

Brambling

I hope you had a better day Caronc 

Farway I agree on the blah humbug sentiment, a cousin was putting pictures of her Xmas tree 🌲 on faceache at the weekend 🙄 I'm afraid I'm a week before Xmas at the earliest person if at all    annoyingly I read your post after my 12 o'clock W8itrose delivery cut off so I couldn't add the PB baguettes you reminded me about 

We've changed our reporting line at work and the TPTB have decided we should fill in electronic timesheets each week, unfortunately our roles don't quite fit into it, I'm not sure if my asking where to log a hour discussion on where to log tasks was appreciated  It just means on a Friday afternoon there will be some creative 'accounting' to make the hours add up as none of us will have remembered to keep track of specifics during the week.  It's difficult when you pick up support queries or a Skype call in the middle of another task to remember how long stuff took

lunch was a chicken and salad sandwich and dinner LO red Thai chicken curry and rice with LO broccoli, I picked up the jar of sauce on offer and wasn't that impressed with it last night, it was ok but not one I would buy again but I wasn't wasting LOs.  Having had 5 chicken meals from my YS chicken I've frozen the carcass to make stock another time - I'm all chicken 🐔 out 😁

Good morning everyone, 
I'm still unsteady on my feet but feeling less grim, time get some gentle pottering underway to hopefully re-balance. We are going into Tier 4 (pretty much the same as England's lockdown) on Friday for three weeks so really hope to be able to get into town tomorrow to buy a gift.  The weather is foul and I'm more than happy not to be going out today. It's supposed to be dry though much colder tomorrow.
I've chicken thigh fillets defrosting to make a butter chicken & veg curry for dinner this evening. Lunch will be a cheese, ham and pickle toasted wrap & fruit.

'morning, hope you manage to get out Caron, but if our lock down experience is anything to go by I expect everyone North of the Border will be out shopping as well, clearing  loo rolls / pasta etc

Maybe better news about Christmas rules & numbers, just speculation of course but fingers crossed

You didn't miss it, it was the Co-op not W8rose Still time if one near you

 Out for a walk earlier, nothing exciting just picking up my prescription, it is very mild out though

Meals are getting repetitive but so far I'm OK with that

Lunch another ham sarnie, maybe with pickle today

Dinner, ham of course, probably another salad & HM chips but could become ham, eggs & HM chips if weather goes bleeeugh

I haven't been on here for ages.

I have noticed people around here putting up decorations early. I suppose if they are bored at home and have little else to do. Might help to cheer themselves up.

I had a toasted bagel and a bowl of berries with yoghurt for brunch.

Farway

And now it's pouring, which means ham, eggs, chips & open a tin of beans for dinner

Why is PN banned?

I didn't know she was, I just assumed she had gone quiet like she does sometimes especially as her living conditions have been really stressful.  Banned or suspended? 

Farway I wanted to add a PB baguette to my W8itrose order to avoid going out again, the parking at both the local coops isn't great 🙄 my delivery arrived nice and early at 8.15am with one substitute (teabags) and one item not available (lemon grass) their twinning strong breakfast teabags were half price so I had ordered a couple of boxes as I like them but I'm too tight MSE means I tend not to buy them full price and they sent Assam which I did send back, if it's dry I may walk into town on Saturday and see if there is a queue because at that price they're worth buying 😁  

Caronc I hope both you and the donkey are behaving yourselves 🙂

I had planned to make the most of a lovely day to edge my lawn at lunch but typically by 1pm the sun had disappeared and it was raining hard   so making the most of the shopping i made a fishfinger and tartar sauce roll for lunch 🙂 Dinner was a lazy portion of stuffed courgette from the freezer, I don't remember stuffing some with couscous rather than rice with the mince and veg, the favours had matured nicely in the freezer

Good morning everyone, 
Oh no poor PN 
Another day of only a nodding relationship with a straight line! I had hoped to venture into town but I'm not risking it. My sis is kindly going to go this evening for me. 
More pottering and trying not to dent the newly painted walls for me today. 
Cheese & onion marmalade toastie and grapes for lunch. Dinner will be IKEA meatballs, mash from the freezer, carrots, peas, broccoli and HM IKEA-style cream gravy.
