This was a proper posh kebab lunch at a restaurant frequented by Prince Charles no less.
Potsy wouldn't come, they don't serve chips

Well that's the Bolognese Sauce on, almost traditional Italian with the exception of Mushrooms (BTW the secret is no herbs go into a traditional version) Now it just needs to simmer for 3hrs with a stir every 20mins although I've still got to grate a big Carrot in after an hour and some more finely sliced Mushroom after 2 (I fry half the Mushrooms in with the Onion etc but then add the rest later as this gives 2 distinct 'textures' to em)

That's where the spare wheel lives. I've just taken out two rolls of insulation from the back so I may be in with a chance. The prospect of a Temperance Christmas is receding.Disco inferno!
A big worry-what about putting the booze on the front seat/in the footwell?

So much for my " All shopping done" post on Thursday last.
MrsP catches me first thing as I was going our for a cafe breakfast and to collect the pre-ordered artisanal breads.
"As you are going into the village can you call in the Co-Op?"
There was a list.
It was a loooong list.
"You can use my dividend card ... it has £30 on it." says MrsP.
I do Co-Op shopping present MrsP's dividend card to Co-Op hard working underpaid and obviously lovely person on the till.
She scans it and says...
"You are NOT MrsSurname".
"No that's my wife's dividend card" says I all meek and smiley .. "she asked me to use it for her."
"BUT YOU CAN'T SIGN HER NAME ON THE DIVIDEND RECEIPT...THAT WOULD BE FORGERY." responds the Co-Op hard working, obviously underpaid and presumably lovely lass.
"Well Merry Christmas to you too" chuckles I and pay cash.
God bless those hard working, underpaid, obviously hard working and deserving of all praise.. Co-Op Workers so diligently serving their communities over this festive tide.

Not Mundane, but funny and endearing.... we received a present in the post yesterday. It always makes us smile when we get this annual present! It's wrapped up in proper wrapping paper with the address on the gift tag/label. Don't even need to look at the sender details as we automatically know who it if from
I love that idea! You can get some festive brown paper too. I might try that next year with lots of sellotape. My dad calls me 'The Queen of Sellotape' anyway!
