That sounds like a lot of money to find for something you weren't that bothered about. Is that just for one ticket???

It was for dh sc, I would love to see them but not at knebworth but he fancied the day out I think 🤣 anyway I said he should go if he can but he’s told my brother its not worth the money now 😬 I do want him to get out and have some fun, but you can do a lot with £280! So I’m a little relieved he changed his mind.
Sadly Daisy our corrupt useless council stopped recycling pods earlier this year 🙄
I’ve looked at milk frothers and cheap coffee makers with wands but not sure which would be best really, and more to the point easiest 😆probably a milk frother would do. A month or so ago I flipped to longlife milk, we have an shop a few doors long so it’s not too much of a pain to get milk but I don’t mind long life and it’s been so easy having lots on the cupboard lately, we tend to use each full carton more or less, fresh stuff I often bought too large. A milk forgery would make nice hot chocolate I would imagine too 😋Dh is back home and useless, he brought me icecream and water up and said he had to go and sleep 🤣 I’m missing a nice pub roast dinner tonight for mums birthday as well 😭it would be impossible to make myself presentable even if I did have the energy, I managed a shower and hair wash earlier but still have the look of the that character in the Goonies film with my new eye infection to top it off.

Didn't know any council did that, ours certainly have never offered it. I meant the one that we now use but clearly since you can't see inside my brain (please don't try 🤯🤪😳) how would you be expected to understand 😂, sometimes i even surpass my own low expectations 🤣😂
Look up podback. We drop ours in at the customer service desk at asd@

Maybe look into a velvetiser to make frothy milk and hot chocolate. Hotel Chocolat started it, but now you can get cheaper versions. We used one in a cafe I worked in for dairy free milks instead of using the steam wand.
Hope you feel better soon.

Oh I’d never heard of that Daisy. Bargain hunter, I can’t buy a velvetiser 🙄 dh bought me one for Xmas a few years ago and I took it back for a refund as I thought it would be expensive and also to tempting to have in the house, ungrateful wife that I am 😆
I’ve got a same day emergency GP appointment, not done lightly but last night was bad and I have new sharp pain on one side breathing in which online suggests get seen today. I’ve got no energy and the holiday clothes are still on the airer from when we got back over a week ago 😩 will try and do more at home once I’ve seen the doctor if all ok.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁3 -
NG, you have a same day emergency GP appointment - I'd say that means that regardless of the outcome, you are ill enough that you need to rest and not worry about some laundry! I hope everything is OK, but you need to prioritise your health, not housework. It will (likely) all still be there when you're feeling better. Hope things improve/the Dr can help.
