As I sit here in bed, I need an app to tell me if there's any biscuits left in the cupboard downstairs..

No point of making a dash in the cold down two flights of stairs if the biccies are all gone... 😕

I think there'll be a couple of stale digestives, but no jammy dodgers so it's not worth getting up 🤔

stbrandonsboat · 07/03/2023 00:13

I can't get up as I'll trip up over the cat.

You need an upstairs stash of biscuits cuts out the wondering a nd and the need to go downstairs.

There are some m&m biscuits on the table but you can’t have them, they’re for next weeks holiday.

I don’t need an app. I eat mine as soon as I buy them. An app wouldn’t tell me anything I don’t know!

Now a magic biscuit creater! I could go for that.

Schnooze · 07/03/2023 00:22

Or a spelling app 😊

It won't help right now tonight but fir the future have you considered installing a tiny webcam in your cupboard? The sort used in bird boxes to observe nesting/hatching?

Rookie error, you need an emergency stash of goodies upstairs in your bedroom for just this type of occasion (she says trying not to look at the bottom drawer where the dark chocolate is stashed under the scratchy sweaters)

My fridge has cameras in it so I can see inside to check on e.g how much milk is left and if I need to buy more cheese wine.

There must be a comparable product for biscuit tins?

I've just taken the last white chocolate chip cookie but there are two bags of oat and raisin (don't blame me, it's DH), some shortbread and whatever "morning biscuits" are because they were a substitute from the last delivery we had from the local shop.

Oh and there's some hot cross buns but I know they're not biscuits, they're just in the snack drawer too. As are a multipack of discos but someone 😇 ate all the salt and vinegar ones already.

There is a reason we have children, did I say fetcher and carriers?

I'd be embarrassed too!!!

there's NO excuse for not replenishing the supplies!!!

They'd have to be the world best biscuits to go down 2 flights of stairs, especially in the cold.

Northernsouloldies · 07/03/2023 05:07

I've done the same whilst reading n absently minding munching n u get to the bottom of the tub, packet. 😁

JamBiscuitBun · 07/03/2023 07:46

Having got up this morning and ventured downstairs to make coffee, I could check the offending cupboard. And indeed there are no biscuits left. But an app would've told me there was an adequate coffee cake substitution to be made... Grin

Does it not have a door?

Bustard · 07/03/2023 08:47

We have a shopping list on Google. If I see DH has put chocolate on the list then I know there's none left. It requires buy in from all parties though!

It does, but that requires being in the vicinity of the fridge to operate it.

I can check the milk status from work if needs be with the cameras.
