But wait until I get there and enjoy a certain Portuguese tart ........WinterWarrior said:
No choc 😮carolbee said:A nocturnal shopper there!
today we are waiting for a new fridge to arrive, kitchen flooring to go down and a cycle to arrive that should have flown with our son, rather than go on it’s own little trip. Upside of that is they deliver straight to us, it’s one he’s borrowed when he moved abroad and is bringing back whilst on a work trip back to UK.
no choc here, trying to cut out crisps choc, and cake prior going to visit said son next month!
instead I’ve spent sweets money on going to see The Duke and Cyrano, both excellent films
I liked the look of The Duke.Carolbee1 -

Alternatively to storing flour in the freezer you could bulk bake cakes & biscuits etc and freeze those (or just eat them all
Happy Friday! March is a very long month chez Deni as all 4 of my jobs are mega busy and i have 10 meetings to attend, 7 in the eve. I've done 2 so far (both daytime).
I can't log onto the network for my FT job (was on A/L this morning for my self emp job) so i need to ring the IT helpdesk.... Might have another cuppa tea first though, it is still my time
I often wake in the small hours but tend to have tea and toast, def don't do nocturnal shopping. Just off to look up wasabi tape or whatever it's called.....
It is a lovely sunny day here so i am going to walk to town later as the local council has organised a vigil for Ukraine
love Deni

@Deni_debt-free_dreamer I had tea and biscuits too! Agree March is a terrible long month even though I have next week off to use up leave. It just means doing loads extra now and lots of catching up later 😖 it also feels like pay day was months ago, not just Monday 🤣Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
