Paws, Ollie, Captain V and all the rest

New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

Well done Paper, despite the state of national emergency re food you stayed calm and triumphed with yellow stickers. Half price M&S chocs, someone deserves a medal for that win.

Lana, you’re still the M&S yellow sticker Queen! I might have to try going on an evening next time

Here are Gomez and Wednesday enjoying a snooze in the sun after a play in the back garden 💕

Gorgeous pair.

Gomez, Wednesday and Morticia are so gorgeous swampytigga. I am going to confess to a very embarrassing mistake. A few weeks ago you posted a pic with your DD and Morticia. I thought it was your DD who was called Morticia. I’d told myself not to be judgemental and why shouldn’t people use a name they liked, even if other people made nasty assumptions (and even more blushes). Feeling extremely silly now!!! It is, of course, one of the great joys of pets that you can give them the names you love but may not be appreciated by others.

He probably meant three though @swampytiggaa. He just forgot to say it loud.

Dh does it all the time when I’m ordering groceries.

Nettie!
Actually I’d really like to know why Wednesday is called Wednesday and not for example Saturday?

@Papergirl1968 - Gomez, Morticia & Wednesday are all members of The Addams Family, Wednesday is the daughter.

I have a book about 7 cats called But Wednesday Cried where the siblings (all named after days of the week) find each other. It's a little nonsense story but I love it!

Oh I see! I’m not an Addams Family fan although I’d heard of Mortician.

Morticia!

@nettie434 😭😭😭

My youngest is called Francesca. When she was a few weeks old a school mom asked me what her name was. When I told her she said oh thank god! Her son had sworn blind that her name was Manchester 😭😭😭

@Fluffycloudland77 I suppose I was getting into practice for now where I order 3 of essential items as that’s the maximum 🙂

Manchester 😂 unfortunately these days it’s plausible.

There’s a meme on insta “I only wanted one cat but if god wants me to have 3 then 7 it is”.

I’m banned from looking at more cats ever.

We’ve been given a food parcel. Found it on the doorstep.

Got to get in contact to say we don’t need it, I’ve got three food shops booked.

Francesca is a lovely name, Swampy.
Reminds me of my niece starting school and saying one of her classmates was called Wolf. It was actually Ralph. But forever known as Wolfboy in our family!

Hang onto it Fluffy, you never know when it might come in handy.

What's in it?

Potatoes
Carrots
Apples
Satsumas
Tinned pears
Tinned mini hotdogs
Napolina spaghetti 🙀 I buy smart price usually.
2 x dolmio Bolognaise
Tin of tuna in oil
Tinned sweetcorn
2 x uncle bens microwave rice
Loaf of white sliced
2 x Heinz tomato soup
2 x Aldi beans with sausages
2 x long life milk
Sachets of coffee
Sachets of clipper tea, organic.
Box of ready brek
Pack of mc vities digestives
Bar of dove soap
2 loo rolls.
Bottle of lynx shower gel

There’s bits we won’t need that I’ll take to the food bank.

For some reason, I read that list thinking 'what would Ollie eat?'.

That would be about 2 week's supply of food for me (single, living alone). Though the bolognaise & soup wouldn't be any use, as I have a tomato intolerance . Though with no butter, I would have issues with the bread

Obviously Ollie would like the beans with sausages on jacket potatoes; and have you tried him on ReadyBrek yet Queen?

I could eat that in a day (single, living alone).

Not bad on the brand name front, eh girls.

Tinned pears, retro chic. Get some non-dairy choc, microwave it for less time than you think, drizzle over. Poires Belle Helene to stun DH with romantic night in.

Flamboyantly display the McVities packet next time you have visitors. Who cares if they're a bit bendy by then, it's a posh packet.

I didn’t know it was coming so I just stood there looking confused as a brakes brothers van drove off.

I’ll have to update his details on gov.uk so we don’t get one again.

I don’t like dh having brands. It gives him ideas. He tried Greggs sausage rolls at mils last year and now he just expects me to buy them.

To be fair, Fluffy, Greggs sausage rolls are the best!

Ollie would like the tuna and the beans and the pasta and porridge please
He's a comfort food addict

My youngest is called Francesca

Now that is a lovely name
