Here we go again. I think the last thread was the quickest ever, so this one probably won't even get to Halloween, but we shall see!

Glad your DParents are doing okay, MrsM. Having seen the menu, I might invite myself round! Or to PSB's for burritos.

I'm trying to use up the food in the fridge and freezer before holiday/Christmas. Dinners are a bit interesting... I have, however, discovered that in the event of an apocalypse we will be okay for bacon Hmm Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 01/10/2018 17:59

😂😂😂 Firefly! Never too much 🐷🐷🐷

We really need to eat through our stocks too, but I keep adding to the bloody things! One day!

Sounds like another busy day, Mrs. Can you come round and make my meals too?! Actually, DH does a good job of looking after me, thankfully!

We ended up going out for lunch yesterday so the roast is cooking tonight instead Grin

Seafoodeatit · 01/10/2018 18:11

You're all making me very very hungry with all this talk of food!

Redgreencoverplant · 01/10/2018 18:23

Evening all, hope you’re all doing okay, will catch up with the thread soon but am absolutely shattered!. Arthur came home and fell asleep straight away, receptions really tiring him out. Lorcan and John have been non stop energy today as well!.

The owner of the house we want is going to call us at 8 so fingers crossed they’ve accepted our offer.

FireflyGirl · 01/10/2018 19:21

Sainsburys 100 piece snack selection apparently serves 100. Better make sure you have your tea before you go to that party...HmmGrin

Redgreencoverplant · 01/10/2018 19:24

Lol firefly 😂

WreckTangled · 01/10/2018 19:24

Do you think it's a mistake and it's meant to serve 10?!

FireflyGirl · 01/10/2018 19:30

Who knows, Wreck. Can you imagine, though, going to a party and being served a single potato wedge?? Confused Grin

I must say, I do prefer a lovely brochure to salivate over, rather than my phone. Wonder when they will be out...

I usually get M&S, Morrisons and Aldi, see who has the most bits I fancy then go there. Aldi usually wins - I do love their florentines Blush

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/10/2018 19:36

I might have to eat the host of that party.

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/10/2018 19:37

DS2 went to bed at 7.30, DD will go at 8.30. 😴

Seafoodeatit · 01/10/2018 19:45

redgreen I'm actually leaping with joy! that's my evening sorted then - ordering christmas food Xmas Grin I better get my voucher for free chocolates, it's how I justify ordering the food so early

firefly I would cry if I got piddly food!

heavy fingers, toes and legs crossed for you!

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/10/2018 19:51

Yes Wreck, but his temperature hasn't gone up again all day, so I'll just give him Calpol when he gets up and he should be OK after that.

Redgreencoverplant · 01/10/2018 20:00

Waitrose have also released!

WreckTangled · 01/10/2018 20:01

It's annoying isn't it? I've had the same happen to mine once and I wished I had sent them to school. You can never tell though.

I saw the Sainsbury's food brochure in store on Friday.

PhilomenaButterfly · 01/10/2018 20:04

Well, he's going tomorrow, because one dose of Calpol seems to last all day. He's got PE and basketball club, so I'll know he's really ill if he says he doesn't want to go! 😂

Redgreencoverplant · 01/10/2018 20:30

Just ordered some more presents. Now going to look at food options

Mrsmadevans · 01/10/2018 20:50
