Elite Thread XIX

I am sorry for your terrible day at work, tm.

Really hoping that your fabulous photo's of The Toon bridges and your scrumptious tea are as comforting to you as they are to me. xx

Noooo just go for it 😂

I froze garlic for the first time recently and was very grateful for it the other day as it saved me a trip to the shops.


Why have I woken so early?! It’s still the middle of the night!

Kettles on. Need gin. Or drugs. Or a cliff. Not even the kids.

Hugs and loves to all needed or not and extra squishes going too xxx

Morning! I have ventured onto this thread for a while as life has felt very busy recently!

Thank you for the coffee and toast though, and I love seeing all the homemade preserves. Mr FW jarred some green beans last night, and made banana chutney earlier in the week after an Olio glut! The green beans are from the allotment and there are still tons to pick. The freezers are already full 😆.

morning all

Chilly start to the day, first time for ages I needed a coat on when I went for my walk this morning. All the leaves are looking quite a dull green now so they are getting ready to change, autumn is definitely just round the corner.

Lots of cutting back needs to go on outside as most plants have put on unbelievable amounts of growth this year, must have been the very wet Spring that encouraged them. My next few weekends are going to be very busy out there.

Hope everyone is well. Big hugs to those who are unwell or struggling with the things life throws at us, take care and look after yourselves.

New prices in Wetherspoons. Brekkie today (vegan) was £3.99 but £2.99 in some pubs. Extra mushrooms by mistake (normally 1 plus 1 for exchanged tomato).
Refillable coffee £1.56 extra, so £5.55 total.

It's a shame they don't come over here - I take it no way of putting something on there to direct them here?

You could post in shout out.

But sometimes i miss reading it if a message there

MY OH seems to like the process of peeling and chopping garlic .... but I think I am going to get some of these frozen cubes - cheapest on The trolley website is Sainsburys from £1 - which should work out cheaper than buying the big bulbs 

I’m sat here in the thinnest strappy dress but just had to shut the big window as a cold breeze came through, it’s been 22 today.

All this talk of garlic 🧄😆. I ended up with quite a few bulbs thru Hello Fresh. Saved them, as used I Lazy Garlic myself (jar, bought when on offer for 99p). Then when done with HF, made all the garlic bulbs into lazy garlic; lots of chopping, put into jar, top with olive oil, will last me a few months 👍👍👍.
