Peas or corn as the veg?

Well that's an interesting question....
It all depends on your definition of 'Shepherds Pie'! @Hill Wimp has moved the concept on a bit. Courgette, Celeriac, Leek and Carrot are involved vegwise. A little chorizo adds zing. Now you may be a bit perplexed if a traditionalist, but let me tell you that however you might describe it, it is a flavoursome tour de force!

I need some more Skin So Soft before we go to India. Can I order online but credit it to your agent number?

Yes you can I'll pm you my online store!

I've gone back to them, explaining what my base salary is - and how I can get up to 25% PRP on top of that... which takes the total significantly over what they were initially offering. I've given them a minimum figure in the AfC Band 9 region I'm looking for...

...and I've made it clear I want to continue working from home. Let's see what they come back with.

Computer says no....

Where I leave my phone in the kitchen has two double sockets (one of which has an iPhone charger permanently plugged into it) each of which also has two USB charging slots. So there's a total of 8 places he could plug his phone in...

...and yet he always seems to find it necessary to unplug mine.

I think you need to beat some ettiquette into him with a large blunt kitchen utensil....

I have a specific place in the kitchen where I put my phone to charge (it's where I leave my keys, wallet, etc. so I always know exactly where to find them). Mr R simply dumps his stuff wherever he takes it out of his pocket.

He has the annoying habit, despite having chargers all over the house, of unplugging my phone and plugging his in to charge instead - and then leaving my phone unplugged when he's finished.

I've got one of these

sat next to the computer I use for phone and tablet charging, I've also got a miniature deckchair I brought out of a charity shop sitting on the mantelpiece and keep the phone on there.

We've got some of these, saves chargers uglying up the place.

@User you should have a pm.

Courgette, Celeriac, Leek and Carrot ... chorizo ... a flavoursome tour de force!

Little to argue with about that!

That'll make you one of the highest paid Uber drivers in the country, Reg

Naughty...but funny.

I put some items on our local FreeCycle last night, and someone's coming today to pick them up. Excellent way to get rid of your junk stuff

Well, polyethylene is listed as one of the ingredients so you may be right. Anyway, my hands are clean.

Way back in the mists of time the mechanics in the garage used to mix hand cleaner with sawdust to absorb the oil and grime off their hands. It was a very successful way of cleaning them.

Well, that pie was really disappointing... Tescos "Finest" chicken, ham hock and leek... Skimpy on the filling and pastry like a shoe sole. Fortunately only 75p on YS, would have been truly peeved if I'd have paid the full whack of £2.50...

Actually, not sure I'd buy it again, even if I ran across it on YS for less than 75p...

Would it be any good if you had a hole in your shoe though?

That's a good tip. We used to mix a little sharp sand in with it, made your hands nice and soft.

I have just been walked over by the kitten and allowed to stroke him, I did get a soft little purr in my ear for doing so. I'm not sure if he was being friendly or telling me that he wants to have his seat for a nap.
The rain has stopped but it is grey outside, I caught the scent of the Madnolia being wafted on the wind when I went out to put some bird food in the feeder.

Sounds like Mrs. GA and her hamburger casserole, though sometimes casseroles get imported from the more Swedish part of Illinois. The hamburger casserole is like Sheperds' Pie, but with ground beef, onions and garlic, tater tots, and mushroom gravy atop.

Don't forget the Worcester Sauce and wholegrain mustard in the mash.

I like to be eclectic
