Wondering if I could get out of going to work...

Dammit. Just done the ironing!

Gahhhhh. Potatoes and low carbing don't go, but I miss them so much.

Just going to sit here and eat my egg mayo and dream of roasties.

Good thing though, I'm on nights tonight, at home with everyone else asleep and me tapping away on the pc with copious amounts of tea to keep me going. I won't have to do it the world ends.

@crosser62 Mines just gone on the line as well. Sky has just gone dark and ominous after hours of sunshine.

I don't know what time the world is going to end today, but was wondering what kind of outfit one should wear for the happening.!

Once you’ve par boiled your potatoes for roasts take the saucepan outside and shake them about

Why outside (curious)? Do I have to make them a picnic or bring wine?

CigarsofthePharoahs · 21/06/2020 13:31

Perhaps the world has already ended and none of us have noticed.
It had better not be today. Mojang have been promising a big Minecraft update for ages and it's due in a few days. If you see a middle aged woman shouting "Not yet, wait for the update" at the arriving apocalypse that'll be me.

@1forAll74 I'm opting for a Hush jumpsuit. Weathers a bit changeable heat, but it's a nod to summer and yet practical if I need to run away. I'm assuming Zombies will be involved in the apocalypse?

Whattheduck · 21/06/2020 14:05

@iklboo not quite sure a chef friend of mine told me as I asked him how he got his roasts so fluffy and crispy and that’s what he told me to do so I’ve always done that since

iklboo · 21/06/2020 14:09

@Whattheduck - ooh thank you. Although my neighbours would probably think I was trying to one-up them on the NHS clap Grin

So that's why muddy spots are raining down onto our washing line today. I'm glad, I thought it might be bird diaorreah.

Deathraystare · 21/06/2020 14:19

Well, if it happens before 9pm when I get home from work, there will be a stir-fry wasted!

GreenAfternoonTeaMug · 21/06/2020 14:19

I asked DH yesterday if he knew that this week was meant to be the Apocalypse. He said 'not another one'.?

Then we tried to figure out what the plural of Apocolypse was, before realsiing that there is only meant to be one so maybe there isn 't a plural.

BillywilliamV · 21/06/2020 14:20

We always shake ours about!

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 21/06/2020 14:22

TSSDNCOP but what if you need the loo whilst running away from zombies?

IAintentDead · 21/06/2020 14:23

@HeronLanyon

Well I loathe potato wedges and love roast potatoes. My fear would be if I didn’t peel roast tats wouldn’t they just be large wedge?? (Shudder). Love mashed tats with peel on etc just hate wedges. Hmm fiddling while the world may be coming to an end. I don’t mind this for a final train of thought if it turns out so. . .
I like your thinking

Even though I don't share your preference - Salted roasties with skins are the bees knees

Pipandmum · 21/06/2020 14:23

I thought it was last Friday.

Heatherjayne1972 · 21/06/2020 14:24

It’s Quite warm for the apocalypse here
I won’t need a jacket

Hope I don’t miss it.

iklboo · 21/06/2020 14:26

Rosemary & sea salt roasted skin on baby new potatoes and gorgeous. One of DS's special requests.

GreenAfternoonTeaMug · 21/06/2020 14:31

If there are zombies with this apocoplyse (am I mising up my catastrophic events?) i have a zombie plan that involves throwing GreenTeaCat at them while I run.

She'll be fine. She sees off foxes and badgers and the neighbour's spaniel so we are well sorted.

GreenAfternoonTeaMug · 21/06/2020 14:31

*mixing up

@motorcyclenumptiness

The world ending wouldn't even make it into my top ten of shit things that have happened in the last 5 years. However it would be good to know a time as I need to make a call on whether or not to start peeling potatoes.
We need to know whether you did start peeling, as it was you who started this potato madness.
LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/06/2020 14:47

Sorry, I was making lunch, did I miss it?!

SerenityNowwwww · 21/06/2020 14:51

How exactly is it supposed to to end? I’d lay bets on it being Trump related.

peaceanddove · 21/06/2020 14:57

I've just paid for my car to be valeted. Typical.

SomethingOnce · 21/06/2020 15:03

Still nothing?

It would get me out of a very tedious task I’m having to do...

Willow2017 · 21/06/2020 15:09

Dammit I forgot.

Shouldn't have bothered washing stuff for work tomorrow, bugger😤

It cant end till this pm. I have duck breasts defrosting and an amazing sticky marinade in fridge. It can sod off till they are scoffed. After that bring it on this year sucks in so many ways so i won't miss anything.
