Well, not quite that old but you get the general idea. Feeling down at the moment and want to cheer up a bit.
My mum, gawd bless 'er, cannot physically throw leftover food away. She says it's because she was a war baby but it drives me to distraction. Whenever she comes to stay I have to empty any leftovers in to the bin when she's not looking. I'm not a particularly wasteful person but I don't get the logic of clingfilming 2 tablespoons of peas only to find them loitering in the 'fridge a week later. I s'pose if I was Nigella I'd make some kind of super duper leftovery type thing with them but to be honest I can't be arsed
Anyone else or is my mum just particularly odd?
