    Hope you feel better soon. Now off to catch up on your diary. Not been on the forum for a couple of weeks and you have been busy. Pad for Jan looks fab. Well done!
    Thank you :)

    Oh no, prawns can be dangerous 😖
    Yes, don't think I'll be buying them again for a while :D

    Love little one wanting to make you something, instead of buy you something  :)

    That’s an awesome amount already for February 😊 Hope you feel better soon, you have to be careful with prawns. I once had a very bad experience with off bean sprouts 🤮

    I once had a very bad experience with reheated rice at a friends house. Luckily I didn’t start to die until after I’d got home 🤢

    I think prawns, chicken, rice, ice cream and bean sprouts are the top offenders 🤢 My DD did a food hygiene course and she said ice cream is the biggest culprit of food poisoning. Not experienced it myself but then I don’t really eat ice cream.

    Ice cream 😮 I’m amazed it could even go off, I’ve never thought to check a use by date on ice cream in my life.

    I think it’s if it gets defrosted and you re-freeze it. You should be ok otherwise.

    I think I got away lightly, they must have been on the turn rather than fully bad.  I've heard about bean sprouts being bad too!

    Wow, I'd never heard of ice cream either!  I knew about the others.
