Elite Thread XIX

Cough cough.

In our house I do all the food shopping and have to come up with all the meal plan ideas which is hard work.  DW mostly cooks as I work and she doesn't but I have to make the decision on what the ingredients in the fridge should make and be very specific on what to use when as neither wife not DKs (now all 15+) can look at ingredients and envisage a meal nor consider using things in order of shelf life or even work out that they ned to start cooking before they are hungry enough to e ready to eat.  They will frequently look at the fridge and tell me there is o food in it whilst I can look and come up with 3 or 4 meals from what there is.  Leftovers are always ignored and the default option if I am not around is something from the freezer that just needs sticking in the airfryer, normally opening a new packet even if there is already half an open packet left.

My Dad was always the cook. Mother useless unless she was in her work kitchen.

She was very talented there but hated cooking at home. I seen her making soup and stovies for a 100 pensioners for their annual Xmas party. But literally can't recall her cooking at home.

My dad cooked when mum was working full time

He worked nights so we got mainly al dente food from him

Mum could cook and did cooking and baking if she wasnt working

I would keep a close eye on them, could be they are arranging the price between them and earning off each other, not unusual and not a bad thing, but you need to mention that you are looking elsewhere too.  Which you really should do, take your time and get other quotes.

You're not wrong. Little Miss taking over the full house has been a PIA. they now have 4 bank statements from us for the money we gave her. She banks with them as do we.

It all comes down to whole society we live in. Rules imposed for everyone because of the few. In this case potential money laundering.

I mean I've been called a few things with my moneysaving ....

morning all

What are the chances of that happening? They are hoping to reattach it too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cprqxqz2deno

Guess the shark had already had its Weetabix that morning and wasn't that hungry. What a lucky escape for that young man.

Incredible!  

Good morning, not keeping up very well at the moment real life very hectic. Hope everyone's well and all the house sales go through ok.
BB a money launderer ...well I never 😂😂😂 the world's gone mad I tell you.
Latest on twit and tw#t I went to work on Friday and she chopped half my border down 😡 honestly she lives up to her name.
In better news dd and dgks are having a holiday next door 😂 which tickles me no end, normally she rings me every morning and we have a catch up but this week we've just wandered out with our coffees and had a.chat 😂 when the kids start fighting I whip one into ours and she keeps the other, I have the one being naughty 😂 teas together every night and I send her off to work with a packed lunch as well as DH, and the best thing to happen today is I saw a kingfisher fly down the river, the woodpecker is back in full swing and a chiff chaff eating the green fly in my plum tree..... Oh and t&t must be away...perfect xx
