The OH and I are just recovering from really bad colds/flu.

So much so we’ve lived off Asda sandwiches for about 4 days but starting to feel a bit better now.

Chicken casserole in the oven.

Was at your local ASDA on Friday. Wife wanted chips out McDonalds so we drove into the almost full carpark. I was waiting in the van and just watching the amount of people coming out with large bundles of food and getting into cars packed with kids. As this was around 4:30 ill presume that is the kids tea. Dont folk cook proper food in your town no more :lol:

WFH today and I'm watching Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun. A couple are in Benidorm and have gone out for the day with a 50 Euro budget. She spies a restaurant and says. "This place looks nice". He replies, "Nah its got table cloths, it'll be too pricey for us"! :lol: Top tip! :thumbup:

Yup. Mine has one of those. It's so you can open the door when there's no power I think.

Ta guys, just looked and sadly not. I should be ok to try and slide it forward in a day or so then I can open it up and reach in, I hope!!
My other pants may need another wash as they will have sat in the machine for a couple of days.
