Aww, hope all goes well and he's home ASAP.

Maybe there's a mouse / rat's nest?

There are mice in the enormouse field at the end of the garden. She seems to spend a lot of time in one spot "stalking" something. As it is warm, she will no doubt be fine. She used to be indoors in the evenings.

I think Hills has one, she uses it to hang her smalls on whilst they are drying.

I have photographic proof

Sounds like she's Doing Important Things and will be home when it's cold. If you want consistent affection, get a dog

Work appraisals later

Urgh.

Not sure anyone enjoys those, either side of the table.

Carr's Water Biscuits are back in the shops.

They've never been out of them. I buy 'em all the time.

We are at the same latitude as a certain Norfolk bumpkin.

Very true

Me too

Back from a glorious 15 mile ride off road, it is officially hotter here than Florence so I am told

Ollie was looking a bit hot and bothered..

One of my cats has left home.

I think she has decided to live at the end of the garden, rather than in the house. She condescends to visit me when she is hungry. She eats her meals then returns to the end of the garden.

Maybe Tasha has a boyfriend?

Good luck. Hate appraisals - total waste of time.

In Sainsbury's and Tesco they have been out of stock for about three months.

The initial results for Aldi v Sainsurys comparison is in.

Bearing in mind this is a monthly shop i usually spend between £200 -£250 a month at Sainsbo but today i spent


£97.86 at Aldi and i managed to get about 97% of my usual shopping albeit different brands.

Lets see how they do against my usual brands.

A lot of that 97% will be awful though

I hadn't been in Aldi for ages until I popped in last week, it is fine for some things but for a connoisseur like what I am there just isn't the choice of other supermarkets.
I mean, they only have one brand of jaffa cake ffs

 

[Hill Wimp]

Well as a WHICH subscriber i can blame them if it's crap.

My feeling is that their own brands are slightly lower in quality but far lower in price compared with known brands elsewhere. That reminds me, it's take my mum to Aldi day tomorrow.

I am particularly interested in testing out their own washing powder/liquid brand which WHICH rates highly. I normally use Fairy.
