This house is freezing. Got up for work this morning at half 5 to discover id no gas. Which was a pox. But it means there was no heat in this house all day till I got home tonight. And it's a concrete breezeblock that's hard to heat and harder to keep the heat in. Balls.

I feel for this lad

LaMarschallin · 18/02/2026 20:15

I find it hard to dislike Dale but he worries me 😄

I would like to learn to bone chicken wings - might buy a load and practice, then I can always make stock.
I'll have to find someone other than Philly on line though - don't fancy handling a sharp knife while I'm extremely irritated.

Loads of places now sell the wings without the tips so might be difficult

TheDogsMother · 18/02/2026 20:15

Aww Marcus being all nice and encouraging 🥰

CurlewKate · 18/02/2026 20:15

Love Dale…

Ooh - thanks for the heads up.

'Life Is A Continuous Rowing Boat' is what 'Life Is A Rollercoaster' was called in India.

@PotterHead1985 have you an electric blanket? I bought myself one a year or two ago and it’s one of my favourite things in the world now! Wish I’d had one back in the days when I had a gas tank and it wasn’t on an automatic refill schedule… Used to take a week sometimes for calor to get out to me 🥶

littlbrowndog · 18/02/2026 20:18

I love them as well. There is a company that does the best sauce for wings. The company is called chimac. They are an Irish crew I think. Their sauces are the best

Automatic refill schedule, that sounds good. I have to keep an eye on the dial !

Halsall · 18/02/2026 20:20

Lots of Monica side-eye tonight 😂

I bought fleecy sheets, fleecy duvet covers and fleecy pillow cases. They really make a difference but (and this isn't even a joke) I keep on having dreams about famous men in snuggly jumpers and corduroy trousers.

Same, and the poxy refill spot is outside (where I can check how much is left) the boiler inside it's either it lights or it goes feck off and that's how id know

bungobungobungo · 18/02/2026 20:21

Or not….

LaMarschallin · 18/02/2026 20:22

The way Philly comes out, pauses and grins like she's expecting the chef to recognise her 🙄

I used to have to down the garden to check the dial on the tank, but they came and put a thingy on it that let them know when it got down to a certain level so they could line me up for a delivery. Was a godsend honestly! That was LPG . My new house is all electric - air source heat pump and underfloor heating!

EsmaCannonball · 18/02/2026 20:26

I don't think this recipe draws on foundational knowledge enough to be suitable for this challenge.

Sunbird24 · 18/02/2026 20:26

Ooh, fire!

littlbrowndog · 18/02/2026 20:27

Mark. BBQ 💃💃

I wish I had that. Mind this is the first year in a while where I have had gas and not just the open fire with no back boiler.

Tell me, what was the point of the extra glob of batter on the pancake yokes

TheDogsMother · 18/02/2026 20:27

Hmm not sure this fella is going to be up to speed with Japanese Soufflé pancakes.

Sunbird24 · 18/02/2026 20:28

@PotterHead1985 i nearly called the thingy on my gas tank a yoke… 🤭😂
