    Can't believe we're coming up to shut down time again @bubbs. Are you going to the same accommodation this year? 🤔

    The current one. Will anyone be able to afford one after that is anyone’s guess.

    @Coxy11 that's grim about the job, I hope that your can find something suitable soon. I smiled at your mention of your OH's long arms - very useful
    @maman I am now all stacked out with Sains sausage and also bought a pack of ones from Aldi today, all to be split down to smaller lots tomorrow, plenty of room in the freezer after trying to use up some odds and end.
    @jellybbaby a rant at your not so dear brother was well justified IMO. I sympathise with re the bloating, the bane of my life too.
    @joedenise I like the sound of the Beef Madras recipe, must check which books I have.
    @bubbs heck that's awful your listings being suspended, hope it is freed up soon. Do you sweetener in the rice pudding? it's not something I use often, the last bag sat in the cupboard so long it became a solid lump. I have been buying those crackers, although I cannot find anything much to recommend them I really quite like them :pensive:

    SW today, a much nicer meeting today, not so shouty (not A the consultant!) and pleased that in spite of all my dietary wrangling I have lost 1.5 lbs :D
