That made me laughgreenbee said:
Also ... what's a 'lunchbreak'? I don't think I've had one of those since the financial crash in 2008...
I'm self employed - I have no idea I'm working all day, and, although I might stop to eat, or muck out or whatever would not describe this as a "lunch break" it is just stuff that has to be fitted in Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!6 -

Was hoping to fit in a quick ride this morning but its raining quite hard so missing that. I don't mind riding in woods, but the only wood is 40 mins of road work to get there and very small at that - oh I am so back to moving plans to a more rural area
Nearby is a big cat sanctuary which does conservation work rather than being a zoo so only opens to the public for the odd day - and - special experiences. I've wanted to go for years but PPH would never go and actively was not keen for me to go as his mother was close friends with a volunteer, then covid, and this year the open days were sold out before I could get a ticket. Given that the odds are now high I will leave the area I was still keen to go before leaving - so - I asked my girlfriends if any of them fancied an afternoon tea there which they do on set dates and today is the day Afternoon tea overlooking a couple of the enclosures and then a private wander around for an hour. Super excited! (Please send energy for a dry afternoon, it is pouring!)Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

It says puy or brown lentils, but I use green ones successfully. I buy the Tesco Finest sausages, 4 in a pack but don't cut them up. As you can see from the many stains on the page, I use this recipe quite a lot! It works fine without the wine if you want to avoid drinking the rest of the bottle.....Watty1 said:
