Legally they're classified as biscuits for tax purposes.

I know. There was a right old to-do about that and all.

And it all started thirty years ago. Tax evasion.

A Lidl pasta sauce jar is about 5% larger than my favourite tea mug. This has great advantages: I can measure water into the kettle using the pasta sauce jar and know that it will give me a full cup of tea with minimum wastage.

Up and running, Weetabix done ( back to Alpro today) and halfway through the first cuppa of the day Had a rubbish sleep again so no doubt I`ll lounge around a while, make MrsC a brew when she gets out of bed and I`ll probably go back to bed for an hour, in the warm side. I will definitely be going out on the bike later but can`t face it right now in sleepy mode!

I`m actually thinking of buying a Kelly kettle to make tea. No need to buy fuel, and takes a couple of minutes to boil 2 mugs worth of water.
It will cost around £60 but I think that`s a sound investment when you consider how much fuel prices are going up. It`ll pay for itself in no time and the added bonus is it can come out with us for the odd picnic or fishing trip

Morning.
It is grey and drizzling here.
Our new freezer arrived yesterday. It is black and smaller than our broken and a lot cheaper. Oh and not German !
I will take it easy again today as the fairies visited again yesterday .

What else would you put in there?

We don't have a biscuit barrel, the biscuits are in the coffee jar, we don't have any coffee in the house.

 

[biggs682]

If biscuits stayed sealed in a packet I would eat a lot less of them same for chocolate .

My wife lost her purse last week. She had been into one shop and bought some items and then visited a few charity shops just browsing. It wasn't until she decided to buy something that she discovered that her purse was missing . She went back to the shops that she had visited to see if anyone had handed it in but it hadn't . She went to our bank and cancelled our credit cards and withdrew £50. It was a bit like a lockdown over the weekend,not going out as we were conserving fuel and having a small amount of cash. My wife contacted the police who couldn't be bothered as it was lost property ! That police peep will go far! My wife has had to replace her driving licence, on the form it states that losing it should be reported to the police . I would like to stick 2 fingers up to that police peep! We haven't heard from any of the shops that my wife contacted , so it seems like it had been stolen ! It has made her feel really bad , wondering if she is losing her marbles! It could be that a pick pocket is operating in the town ! Going by our experience of that police peep they will spring into action faster than continental drift !
