Thought they were cherry tomato's, not closet.

Sigh.

As I wrote that I was thinking "I just know @classic33 will make something of this..."

The reason I asked is that Tomatoes along with Peppers, Chillies and Potatoes contain Nicotine (same genus of plant)

I didn't know that.

I am one of two staffers at work who don't smoke (of about 12), and pretty well all our clients smoke too: the only person that smokes more heavily than a former addict is a social worker, it seems.

Bad News : Been turned down for voluntary redundancy

Serves you right for doing such a good job.

Love my little cheap cast iron BBQ. We've had it years and its the one I always get out. The big one hasn't been used in a very long time. Possibly the best bargain ever. Just doesn't fall to bits, nor needs much cleaning.

In other exciting news, the Inland Revenue sent me a grand total of £202 for tax relief on my prof. membership fees. Paid it in via my phone app and scanned the cheque. Whoop.

Shame my 2019 fees are £280

Can't make anything, you're eating them.

I think my propane is still frozen.

My energy supplier (Together Energy) are really on the ball. The last bill I can see on the account is October last year. Only 4 months out of date. It's not for the want of me sending in readings, I do it about every month. It also isn't for the want of me pressing them to update things.
Three phone calls and umpteen e mails. I mail them every day or two just to be a f****** nusiance. Next week is the latest prediction. Based on the accuracy of previous predictions they probably have a contract with Mystic Meg.

They are cheaper than the last lot by quite a margin but I'm guessing it's because they only have two employees and work out of a garden shed.

After last night's power cut in the village, it appears that my electricity meter has stopped working.

I've contacted my energy provider, but they aim to get back to me within the next 5 days.

Until then, if anyone wants their phones, tablets, lights etc charged for free, feel free to pop round.

I'll pop the kettle on (electric of course)

I did wonder if that was the Boss's plan all along (assuming he shares @Threevok's opinion of his colleague)

You're on form tonight.

Can you run my wife's hot tub off it... It's costing a huge amount of cash a month to run...
