Well my alarm went off at 7am this morning like it always does. No work to go to today (a perk of being freelance) but it's now 1am and I am still snuggled under the duvet thinking 'too exhausted from four days of little sleep and a lot of stress'.....


Tell me why I should toss aside the duvet and get out of bed today folks!

well you could go do 450 leg presses down the gym...


In a month it will be cold, dark and grim, so I would get some sunshine whilst you can


However I think, under the circumstances, a day of duvet, tv and carbohydrate (in quantity) is perfectly acceptable. If you need to feel some sort of achievement go out get the ingrediants for your favorite comfort food, cook and then eat in bed guilt free as you have been out.

That'll be 1pm.


There is no actual need to get out of bed (sez another freelancer)... even to contact your usual sources of contracts to check on project timescales; though I do tend to favour the vertical position for this task.


However, I have popped down to the library to return a video (House of Mirth - anything but), have prepared the space where this afternoon's wood delivery is going, and I may even get around to potting up a few horseradish plants. A step too far may be getting around to finishing off some sanding...


You could get yourself a Slanket and move your centre of operations to the sofa...

I like the idea of taking a blanket and moving my centre of operations to the sofa.......


My garden is Peckham Rye Park and fortunately I have staff to sort that out :)) but I do have a chilli plant to pot for outside my front door so may do that......(after all has been sitting there to be repotted for a couple of weeks now lol).

ooh PR is this for the forthcoming film Bend it like Peckham, a story about a collection of daring renegade football amateurs coached up to ladies football supremacy...... I know its been done before but continuous themes worked really well for James Bond and every Guy Ritchie film......


Never ever buy a Slanket, its admitting defeat.

I confess I have been out of the door to chop a little kindling for the winter. Satisfying. But I'm safely tucked up indoors again.

I was totally disappointed with my Slanket.


The fleece is quite thin and it was COLD (6) plus although I'm only five foot four, it wasn't long enough to cover my feet properly when lounging on the sofa.


You can get slanket-type things which have little pockets for your feet, and next Winter it will be one of those for me :))

I'm to idle today to even go out for ciggies of which I have run out and am gasping for one.

The Slanket is almost 8 feet long (7.9)! How can that be too short?

Are you sure you didn't have a 'competitor product'? Some of them are trash e.g. the Snuggie (too short and very much an inferior product).

xxxxxxx


It was a genuine Slanket and quite expensive.


It is long when you are standing up, yes, but when slouching about on a sofa with it wrapped around you, and trying to keep your feet under it, believe me it does not seem long.


Hence, presumably, why some competitors' versions have pockets for the feet.


Have you actually tried one? If you have, you will find out what I mean.

What size pot is your plant in currently? If it's small and you don't pot it up soon - you won't get many chillies. Has the plant got any chillies on it yet? Has it any flowers?

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
