MrsF is always trawling her employer's ('on-line retailer') web site as she gets a fairly big 30% discount - we've a fair few items of furniture, garden stuff and tools from them. She basically pay's the bills, so sees what's being imported before it hit's the 'shop'.
Anyway she was trawling it at weekend, and found some garden chairs for £5 each, down from £80. She suspects it's either an error, or they are getting rid due to stock space - I have a feeling they may be bulky items seeing the construction.
She's ordered 8
so with discount it's £28. All ear marked for family birthdays, and we'll keep two. Down side is I'm expecting a low loader to turn up - god knows where we will store them until the birthdays come round - some aren't until June ! 
The stock 'sold out' very quickly.

Ohh, we've now got a Teams Group for us 'cyclists' at work. It's an 'official' one from our Travel Team. First few replies mentioned faulty doors on the cycle shelters 
And they’ll never find the recipe again… :gets coat:Did it take long to bake it ?

Oh heck, my big boss is on the group as well, as he cycles in - better watch what I say
He's right at the 'top' of the 'food chain' at work - nice enough bloke !

Somehow it reminds me of that berk Andy Stewart and the song A Scottish Soldier about a mercenary dieing of old age away from home.

Bloody cold on the way in - and it got colder as the ride went on. Started at -0.5°C and had dropped to -1°C by the time I got to work, but what a lovely morning for the start of the week. Two coffees & a large slice of chocolate cake into the shift with one more coffee & a slice of madeira cake to go.
It's also my stepmother's 70th birthday.

Chilly, breezy and hazy sunshine here chez Casa Reynard.
I am sat here watching the curling and editing some stuff. I didn't sleep well and feel rather cold, so I have a hot water bottle on my lap. Not of the feline variety this time - those are tucked up in their respective beds.
Luncheon will take place after the curling.

I've just had a positive test result from the ONS. I'm positively antibodied up!

Bl***y indoor plants !
I just drew back the curtains in our other room and a cactus made an attempt to escape . I caught it and it thanked me by injecting me with loads of needles ! If it was down to me the whole lot would be in the compost !
I really enjoy gardening, but always outdoors. Apart from the odd bunch of flowers, perhaps three in a decade. I do not have indoor plants. The amount of care they need is, imo, all out of proportion to their size.
