Why couldn't you have the chip @DirtyGertiefromno30 ? Were they in a sauce?
Mine were fab, ate too many! The small tray is bigger than I usually have when I make them at home but with the curry sauce, yummy.
Jammies on settled for the night.
Heard the tiniest tap on front door, went and nobody there. Saw the Amazon van and a guy going to houses further away. Then a guy comes from side of my house, nearly jumps and says "oh hi" "I lefft your parcel behind your bin.". Oh gee thanks, its to rain later, so tomorrow if i was lucky I would have found a soggy parcel! I emptied recycling bin out today so if raining tomorrow i would have no reason to go to bin! Bloody hell wait more than a minute for someone to open he damm door. Will tell ds to write that on feedback or something its his parcel.
Definately got cooler, had to put a zip up on and shut back door, brrr. Blooming sun is setting already, noooo.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/08/2026 20:54

Oh blimey, your chips sound absolutely delicious with the curry sauce! 😂 .I can't have them because of the cross contamination of being cooked in the same oil as things with gluten in . And bloody hell, what was that Amazon man thinking? 😳 Leaving a parcel behind the bin when rain is due and then disappearing almost immediately is ridiculous. You could easily not have found it until tomorrow, especially after emptying the recycling today! Yes, definitely get DS to mention it in the feedback. It's definitely turned much cooler hasn't it? Brrr! And don't get me started on it getting dark earlier already nooooo! 😭😂 Jammies on and settled for the night sounds perfect 😁👏. Just having a hot chocolate and a piece of chocolate 🤤😋😁 Watching Dad's Army 🪖 👌👏😁

Oh that's a blast from the past @DirtyGertiefromno30 so funny. Oh I forgot about that. When I worked at morrisons we had chips in one fryer and fish, chicken went into another so they weren't cross contaminated. (With usual disclaimer) Get dh to ask if they do that for next time.
I cant have hot choc at night so you get a win there😁
Just looking at my diary , need to book car in for mot next week. Damm. Must top up water and check tyre pressures tomorrow 😄

I am watching Caleb and his delusional guests who are all up to thier eyes in debt. What is it with A'murikans who just keep taking out more and more credit cards when they can't afford repayments? The whole system sucks, plus they are financially illiterate .😆

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/08/2026 23:09

That makes perfect sense with the separate fryers, I’ll get DH to ask next time worth asking! 😁
I’m definitely winning with the hot choc at night 😂 You enjoy your tea instead!
Oh bloody MOTs, they always creep up on you! 😱
I’ve seen Caleb and his delusional clients today , honestly, some of them seem to think credit cards are free money they are so thick ! 🤣 How they keep taking out more when they can barely manage what they already owe is beyond me. It's all gaining Interest day by day and it mounts up like hell !
Hopeless cases 😱
Supposedly watching match of the day but its time to get to bed really, DH is snoring in the chair 🤣.
Good ight @Thebookofcarolagain hike you sleep well 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 02:55

Just going to bed now @DirtyGertiefromno30 ! Got stuck watching loonies on Caleb. (And I dont have to get up early tomorrow anyway!) One couple are 30$k in debt.they soentt $2k on Disney special offer passes for one of their birthday. They get free entry for a year. But its 5.5 hours drive away, plus hotel plus food inside! 10% off food and merch! They went 3 times in 2 months and have arranged to take nephews and friends x3 more times in next months!' He cant get through to them they cant afford to go, that it's costing them $1k a day! They aren't saving themselves anything. They spent 3x thier income in one month on BS, eating out, amazon, coffees etc. One is paying $250 a month for weight loss injections but they eat out so much or buy crap she's only lost 15lbs in 4 months! Paying that for nothing! Cook your own food you dozy cow. They are definately not cancelling thier trips, you can see from what they say and the looks. No wonder he loses his hair. Then in the comments for the after show he says they found $15k more debt! Wish you didn't have to join to see the after show😄😄
I cant have tea or coffee @DirtyGertiefromno30 in evenings as I take milk in them 😭 Damm tablets. Mind you I could have had one tonight considering the tine now! 😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 09:58

Good morning everyone 🤗
They really are stupid @Thebookofcarolagain. So financially inept it's ridiculous ! Hope you have a lovely lie in this morning 😁.
We are off to see my Mum. Dd1 is coming too , hopefully Mum will be better with her . Fingers crossed 🤞
raining here as per seems we are back to normal now. rain every day hey ho , it will be bloody flooding next 😱
I will return 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 13:20

Afternoon all.
Same here @DirtyGertiefromno30 normal service has resumed. Rain, fog just miserable. We had sun for about 20 minutes now back to normal.
Had a long lie thanks.😄
Just pottering today, mini jobs nothing taxing.😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 13:27

Afternoon everyone 🤗
At least you managed a lovely long lie in @Thebookofcarolagain and a gentle pottery day with little jobs sounds absolutely perfect. 😁. Sometimes it’s nice not to have anything too taxing to do. Enjoy 🤗.
Mum was marvellous for my Dd1 bless her she's like a secret weapon 🤗.
Got to do a little bit of shopping for Mum so just popping to Waitrose and Aldi but only for her thankfully.
Then home for some dinner and a nice big cuppa tea 😋

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 15:28

ARGHHHHH.
TV isn't connecting to WiFi. Ds2 says some of his stuff isn't either but other stuff is.
Checked my bank account and noticed £12 taken for Amazon Music! I didn't sign up for that! Have spent an age on the website trying to cancel it and ended up finally getting a person to talk to. Cancelled and will be refunded. I hate bloody technology!

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 15:37

Have phoned Internet people they will be in touch....🤔

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 17:34

Oh no, what a nightmare @Thebookofcarolagain! 😩 Technology really is testing at the best of times . But at least you got Amazon Music cancelled and your refund sorted and you must have found out very quickly and that’s a huge win! 😄 Hopefully the internet people will get back to you soon and sort the WiFi. You’ve had enough tech stress for one day bless you !
DH watching the Bridge over the river Kwai for the umpteenth time 🤣
Hot dogs and beefburgers for tea DH obligingly cooking for us all 😋😁👏

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 17:58

All done @DirtyGertiefromno30 , a guy phoned, I switched of and restarted router, he accessed it remotely and upgraded it and all fine now. Phew!
Got myself a stubby and put Skyrim on and killed vampires and skeletons to take out my rage😆
We had a clap of thunder and the heavens opened! Settled now but it was teeming down.
I am making burgers too😄 Making ds1 one he can reheat it later, stop him moaning I didn't cook for him.😉
Looking at my shopping list on chalkboard oooerrr😱
Not seen that film in donkeys, soo sad. Dont know if I could watch it again.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 19:00

Glad you’ve got it all sorted now, what a relief @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 Killing vampires and skeletons on Skyrim sounds like the perfect way to get rid of some tech rage 😂🧛‍♂️
Fancy having thunder and rain , at least it’s settled down now. Your burgers sound lovely too, and very wise making one for DS1 so he can’t complain later 😉😂. Ooooh, a scary shopping list though! 😱 I’m not sure I could watch it either tbh . 😢🍔☔🎮
Had the hot dogs but l don't want them again , l did eat them but they aren't a patch in Tesco's finest . These were M&S ones not a fan . DH liked them though so l told him he can have my two thatl was going to have tomorrow 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 20:23

Oh that's a shame about your hot dogs @DirtyGertiefromno30 its something I never buy though so can't recommend any. Just make sure they don't gave filler in them.
Dishes done gonna get my jammies on i think. It's still dark and cloudy and got away cold!
Need to face up to writing my list! Have got ribs on it and blackberries as I watched tasting history and he had a recipie for ribs with honey and blackberry sauce. Looked delish, gonna give it a go.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 21:53

Ohhh those ribs with honey and blackberry sauce sound absolutely delicious @Thebookofcarolagain! 😋 What a lovely combination, I hope they turn out as good as they looked. Definitely worth facing the dreaded list for ribs and blackberries 😂 .Get those jammies on and get cosy 🤗
Just had hot choc yummy , watching Trigger Point it's excellent 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 22:43

Ds2 Just got home from work. He said on the road he had to keep his eyes down cos of all the frogs/toads! He didnt want to step on any!
Looked out back door see if any were there, none, but plenty snails 😡

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/08/2026 23:16

Aww bless him @Thebookofcarolagain, that’s so sweet that he was so careful not to hurt any of the frogs and toads he's a lovely young man ! 🐸🐸 They must all be out enjoying the damp weather. Typical though, you look out hoping to see some cute little frogs and instead you get a snail convention! 😡😂 🐌

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/08/2026 23:44

Who hoo a new Skyrim story has.appeared. Will listen at bedtime (and prob fall asleep😄) A vampire story by a vampire but I think it might be a bit sad...
I know bloody snails but wasn't going out tonight i am not that keen @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄😄

Thebookofcarolagain · 31/08/2026 09:42

Morning all.
Back to cloudy but sunny here! I give up😄
Booked car in for MOT next week.
Need to go shopping, boo.
Have a good day all.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 31/08/2026 10:11

Good morning everyone 🤗
Just on our way to see Mum 😊.
Ooh, a new Skyrim story @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 Vampire story by a vampire hey 😁 . Perfect bedtime listening for you, it would give me nightmares 🤣.
Weather really can’t make its mind up for you , it's the same here but l have stuck the washing out anyway . Good job getting the MOT booked fingers crossed for you 🤞. Hope the shopping isn’t too painful on your purse !
Have a lovely day everyone 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 31/08/2026 11:10

The vampire story wasn't scary but thought provoking @DirtyGertiefromno30 About a vamp trying to pin down what the sun feels like on your skin after 400 years without feeling it. Lots of comparisons that don't really fit perfectly. Very clever..
Am off shopping on my own. Wish me luck😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 31/08/2026 12:45

Afternoon everyone 🤗
on the way home from seeing Mum she was fabulous today bless her heart .
Going to have cheese and crackers and a great big cuppa for dinner 😋 😁.
That sounds a really clever story @Thebookofcarolagain , l love the idea of a vampire trying to remember the sun on their skin it sounds quite sad. Good luck with that shopping expedition on your own! You’ve got this! 😂🛒

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 31/08/2026 13:48

I survived😄
Wasn't bad tbh @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Stuck to my list pretty well apart from the 4 pack of cyclamen that fell onto the trolley in HB🤣..My old pansies are rubbush now in pot out back so will replace them with new cyclamen.😁
Ds2 helped bring stuff in and put away. Got all the meat for freezer to sort out but that can wait.
Did get quite a few bargains on clearance so happy. Had to go to Morrisons for the ribs and got a haggis too. Haven't had one in ages. Stupid Morrisons digital card wouldn't let me in, had to reset password so didn't even look at offers just wanted out by then😡
Got frozen cinnamon swirls, one is in oven..am starving.
Ds2 is actually off 2 days this week so ribs one day and haggis the next. Will do haggis Thurs as he has dentist appointment that day. His sensitive teeth will be louping.
The story was quite sad. They often are even the vamps or Dark Brotherhood Assassins ones. The one about the woman who was turned into a vamp and had to leave her child on the orphanage steps to protect her was heartbreaking. I blubbed like crazy. They get right into the person's character and emotions.
Still sunny here and warm its amazing! 😄
Bought my first Xmas gift! Ds2s Toffeefee. They had the big packs in HBs that are usually rare . I forgot to tell him to keep out one bag and he found them🤣 Damm. Oh well he knows he gets them anyways.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 31/08/2026 15:21

Afternoon everyone 😊
The Cyclamen obviously wanted to come home with you @Thebookofcarolagain, so who were you to argue? 😂 They’ll look lovely in place of the tired Pansies.
Ribs and Haggis on Ds2’s days off sounds pretty good to me 😘😋. Hope the dentist goes okay and his sensitive teeth don’t cause too much trouble. 😁
That vampire story sounds heartbreaking though. 😢 I can understand why you blubbed. I thought it sounded sad 😭.
Wow your first Christmas present already! 🤣 Shame Ds2 found the Toffeefee, but at least he knows he’s getting them. Enjoy your cinnamon swirl and that lovely sunshine, it's dark as the hole of Calcutta here 🤣

I have already started my Xmas list of stuff i need to buy @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Trying to keep it even more simple this year. Just basic foods, not ott. Not including presents for kids though as they are clueless. 😆 Will prob be just a couple of little things to open plus money to do what they want with. Not buying anything yet though.

There's Xmas stuff creeping into shops already it's crazy, Like not official Xmas aisles but def Xmas aimed odds and ends. it's not even Halloween yet. Oh I must put Halloween sweets on next list! Won't be for a couple of weeks though as well stocked up for now.
I was very proud of myself, Aldi had a whole section on stationary, prob for back to school stuff in England and it was all sitting there tempting me but I steeled myself and walked past it.🤣🤣 I love stationary I have to be firm on myself 😁
Oops this didn't post!
Have done meet and sorted out freezer. Time for a sit down .
