Done the early Aldi dash. It was busier than I expected but I suppose that could be down to it being a Friday.
Before I went I put a loaf on to bake so that is lunch sorted......just need to add some cheese or ham, maybe both as I am partial to a ham, cheese and sweet chilli sauce sarnie.

And the Doctors surgery tell me im 'high risk' because of my BMI. Never mind that im a lifelong weight lifter with a 52" chest and a 36" waist, in their eyes I'm simply a bloater.

Fitst jab booked for Friday next week.
I'm no weight lifter, have an average chest, no 6 pack but I weigh in at 69-71kg depending on exercise and what I've eaten. At 71kg I carry a bit more belly weight than I'm happy with.

Yep, I've been told my BMI is high. Crackers.

@ColinJ I meant to say this earlier. We have three Aldis locally. One has a huge car park which is usually ¾ empty, the other two small car parks. The Aldi approach is to push customers through as fast as possible, you won't see much browsing, in, shop, out which is why the smaller car parks don't fill up either.

Sometimes there is a queue on to the roundabout for entering the small retail park it's located on. This is always the queue for the McDonald's drive through - which says a lot. :ohmy:

Mo, if your left leg starts aching, and you suddenly start thinking that it would be a great idea to get a parrot, then I’d advise getting the wrist X rayed ASAP


Mo don’t wait any longer.Get it x rayed

Not as daft as it sounds After I had been discharged from hospital following heart surgery l was left with a sticky residue on my chest from the heart rate monitor pads Went to the chemist to get some surgical spirit thinking that may remove the gunge apparently they no longer sell it .

Stroke of genius.Sprayed it with WD 40 job done

Strangely our nearest one has a similar problem but the difference is.......the roundabout is on the main A49 which is the feeder to/from the nearby M6 and M62.
Instead of MacD ours has a Costa Coffee. It amazes me the number of people the come off the A49, grab a coffee and rejoin the main road.
