This is what I've been filing .

Time on my hands, so I have some Airfix model aircraft to build, I think it will be mostly brush, clearly small areas.

Take a look at the paint numbers required, and see how many are common to more than two models. Then check where each one is required for. 61, flesh/skin is listed but only required for the face of the crew. Matt red and matt white, mixed can return a similar colour.(You'd be using drops of paint to achieve the colour, not tins). Silver, often used for the undercarriage is the only one I'd buy that's used in small quantities.

Any model railway shops nearby?

It used to be between £15 and £20 a week with the stickering, but then Tesco stopped marking down the stuff by 90 or 95% - mainly to put an end to the total bunfights that used to go on, and IMHO rightly so. Some of the really grabby folk have buggered off elsewhere because the stuff isn't reduced enough anymore.

Now, the most they do is 75% unless they've got a job lot of something to shift.

My local sainbos seem to have stopped marking stuff down. I suspect they get their pickers to use it for the deliveries before it get to short date.

The local Tesco and Sainsbury's are donating a fair bit of what would have been marked down to local homeless charities and a "soup kitchen". Along with a number of other food stores.

Wet, miserable, wet, grey & wet in south east Suffolk. Guess who has the day off work?

Treated myself to a bit of a lie in this morning, then started on the housework and I'm now having a short break for a mug of coffee and an apple before starting again. I've even resorted to doing the dusting.

Unlikely as if it's a same day 'use by' date then the customer gets it free. Probably buying it for themselves or donating it to homeless/charities as above.

Chilly, blustery and very soggy here chez Casa Reynard.

Very definitely an indoor kind of day. Just as well, as I'm feeling rather tired after being woken up at stupid-o-clock by the girls having a full-on spat in my bedroom. I had to get up to separate them. Poppy and Lexi usually rub along OK, but sometimes Lexi gets a bit pushy - with the inevitable consequences. In this case, Lexi wanted to sleep on my bed, but Poppy was already there, and well...

Hey ho...

Almost lunchtime. I have celery soup, and I've hard boiled a couple of eggs which will go well in a sammich along with mayo and a sliced tomato.

Been working on my new writing project as well.

^^^ this.

The staff in my local Tesco often take YS stuff, plus I know that they also work with a local charity. I don't mind really - as long as the food doesn't get wasted.

Morning all. Up early as Pink, [cat] has to go to the vets for her op. No kittens for her! Very hard trying to explain why she is neither allowed out or have anything to eat. Think she's starting to get a little pee'd off as She's putting claws out!

Pawsies crossed for Pink xxx

Pawsies crossed for Pink xxx

If I was Pink and knowing what's coming I'd definately keep my pawsies crossed

I'm giving in and breaking out the thick fleece onesie and the fluffy pink socks.

A hot chocolate might be in the offing too.

Pink is home, slumped, very groggy, leaning against her climbing frame. Not sure she'll ever forgive me!

You can't see the "wound" on the other side but it's a neat little incision

Not sure a gold hurricane would look right. Spray can for the underside is a good idea tho'

Yeah, not the most obvious trade name is it? They also have a "black" range, most of which aren't, if you see what I mean.
