    Maman - I guess nothing (it's the microwaveable stuff as there's just me) but I guess it's psychological though I feel less bloated with a jacket potato.

    Anyway the last 24 hrs with gts will cheer you .....

    1 - took mum to the hospital yesterday & drove in a car hubby bought last year .....don't really like it & prefer to drive my old banger. Anyway got back in the car to come home, turn the ignition, put the lights on & then the hazards started flashing. Cue me panicking as I can't turn them off so after a couple of minutes I decide that I'm going to have to drive home with them flashing. Cue one frustrated driver being followed by drivers who don't know what's going on. Mum by now is giving me the old 'don't you know how to turn the lights off' routine so I decide I'm going to have to phone the car rescue people. Five minutes into the call (already having told them the problem!) the lights stop .....mum founded the button which for future reference is by the hand brake/seat belt holder.

    2. Been selling a lot of stuff on eBay and I wrap them in a plastic bag/brown paper. Run out of brown paper & Tesco didn't have any & im late in sending a parcel. I saw an advert on freecycle for brown paper (advertised as suitable for packaging) this morning so I arranged to pick it up this afternoon. When I got there, I was handed 2 huge boxes full of s crumpled up brown paper which no way could be reused. So I basically am transporting this woman's rubbish to the tip for her!

    I would have said no thanks:o

    I know I did wonder why I didn't say that myself but I was so gobsmacked I just said thanks.

    The best bit was she said she'd have 2 more boxes in a couple of days & that she'd let know when she had them!

    I don't think so some how !
