Well, I've had an NSD - grrrrrr! :mad: Spent some considerable time sorting out an online Tesco shop, only to find they don't take Electron! Well pardon me for cancelling my credit cards! I am soooo annoyed! I wanted to use Tesco as then I can use the monthly shop towards collecting points, but looks like I'll have to order from Asda again.
Oh well. I remembered to put the breadmaker on, and we had lovely spag bol from last weeks batch cook, so not so terrible I suppose.

I am using Tesco, as Asda never seem to be cheaper for me. Even when using mysupermarket.com.

We have the clubcard+, double points on all tesco shopping.
The only thing I have to remember, is keeping enough money on it!

Hi everyone...

Taking a 2nd break from tootling around in the garden ..been there nearly all morning... wouldn't be bad but im only shifting tubs n containers, adding compost oh and securing netting to everything for my beans...
Its glorious out there :j .. my patio is now a POTio..and instead of an allotment i have and aPOTment :rotfl: ...thing is i know im going to need more containers

I will start typing all those recipes out later egon n funkyfunky.... think i can copy and past some i have posted on another thread if i can find em :rotfl:

Well I can claim my 3rd NSD in a row :j ... may pop out tomorrow unless i can wait for a few days..then i can get my fruit at the same me time less chance of popping extras in then -as my fruit is usually enough for me to lug home uphill

Hubby has requested spaghetti bolognaise for dinner.. but he may be getting that tomorrow.. depends how much more i do outside .. in which case we will be having salad with jacket potatoes and cottage cheese which is a fave for both of us anyway (and needs little time shhhhh;) )

Hoping hubby comes home with a parcel for me.... my lovely mum has posted me some SF jellies (can only get strawb here -bleughh) some more veggie seeds and a soil moisture tester :j .... really summery out here(for now) so really fancying lots of cold fresh fruit, salads , jellies etc mmmmm

right i had better get off and get some more done..
have a good afternoon everyone:D

Morning all. Well just assessing the damage after the pigs/teenagers have been at home over end of term...scarey.

Hope everyone has a great day. Bob x

Totally of topic!

I am writing up my CV. But as I was a SAHM since 2005, I am not sure what to put in for 2005 until present. Housewife doesn't sound right.
Maybe Family business director????:D

Any suggestions very much welcomed/ needed.

Thanks a bunch, Egon

Child Co-ordination Director, or CCD if you like. Could put your asking salary up a few notches
