Good morning you three and everyone - happy Friday!
Ally, safe travels home and enjoy your Friday evening tapas - so glad you had such an amazing time in France, but it'll be nice to get back home to your 'boys'
Jan, hopefully the coffee morning isn't too bad. And you definitely need the recycling to be sorted LOL
. Re the rice, I can't remember - do you have a microwave? I used to use a microwave rice cooker and they're fab; 10 mins and no risk of anything bubbling over on the hob and making an almighty mess.
Cruiser, Chorley sounds amazing - I really wish we could go back to that style of shopping; not only more sociable, but as you say less waste because you tend to buy only what you need. And the per item / per kilo price is the same regardless if you buy one or ten of whatever it is (unlike supermarkets where multipacks are so much cheaper so you buy those and then don't know what to do with it all)
I've got the day off - going to have a bite to eat and then head down to farnborough to look in various plumbing and tile shops. Karl and I will be redoing my bathroom in April so need to figure out best fit for everything, see what is available and then get things ordered. It's a fair size bathroom given the size of the flat, but it's an inside one so dark - so I want to keep everything as light as possible. Then this afternoon I'm helping Nadine with admin'y bits for her uni work and then dinner at theirs.
Have a fantabulous day everyone xx
