Just done something very stooooopid!

Prepared the salad earlier, but hadnt got room in the fridge for the 2 big plates it was on. Put them in the oven while I was out shopping to stop the fly in the house landing on them.
Got back, put the jacket potatoes in the oven and forgot all about the salad in there...

Hubby just come home to roasted lettuce, coleslaw and a whole host of uncookable salad items.

Just been called a dozy cow :rolleyes:

My baby vine tomatoes would have been ok, except I tried wiping the runny hot coleslaw off the bottom of the plate ( tipped up as I got it out of the hot oven) and the tomatoes made their escape as well. Wouldn't have been as bad if they had been cheapo ones. Don't normally splash out that much on them, these were to be a special treat :lol:

At least I found out my best plates are actually oven proof..

Normally i'm quite a happy type of person, not a lot upsets me and I don't often feel threatened. I was married for 24yrs and there int much gets to me now.
I've just been over Sainsburys on my own, and there was such a gathering of teenagers on the trolleys outside, I nearly turned round and came home. Spoke to 1 of the girls inside and she said there's not an awful lot they can do about them. Just keep an eye out and follow them round the store as best they can.
Topped with the motorbikes with what sounds like no exhausts, racing cars down Chell /Doxey Road onto the long stay. This little bit of Stafford int a nice place live at the moment.

Glad I got a photo of son outside his new house when he first moved in, including a bit of the pavement. ...after hunting everywhere on his property for the water meter, spotted a tiny grid out on the pavement on the photo ....water meter now located!

Must say the Severn Trent customer services team have been the most pleasant people to deal with each time we've rung. If everyone we had to contact was as helpful, life would be much less stressful!

If only my mum had organised all my house moves...
My parents never helped me out at all, they wouldn't even babysit . The one time we asked them for a couple of hours for a special night out, I was told "You've had your kid, you look after it!" . Mum never even came to see me and baby in hospital for the week I was in there after giving birth. Wasn't happy about me not going around doing their housework the week before! (When I was single and at home and off work sick once , I went to make a sandwich, I was told "Oy! Your board doesn't cover food during the day when you should be at work" . )

I couldn't be like that and all too happy to give our son help and advice where I can.

He's on his own and works funny shifts , can't have his phone on him at work, so I'm helping him out all I can . He helps me out with all matters phone and computer related. So works both ways!

My local pub is a bit peculiar. Some years back a mate came in and asked me if I wanted an Oak Tree. He was carrying a plant pot with this sad looking weed in it: “It needs somewhere to grow,” he told me. Having had a few I agreed.

Right now the bloody thing has taken over a corner of the garden completely, it’s growing like the clappers. It’s a mutant !!

A few years later the land lord of the pub came out with an old paint tin with another weed in it. “Here Bob,” he said cheerfully. “Have an Ash Tree.” Having had a few I agreed.

Another part of my small garden is now being dominated by a mutant Ash Tree that’s already overtaken the mutant Oak Tree.

TODAY !!

A mate came in and said: “Here Bob, have some tomatoes and a cucumber, my greenhouse is firing on all cylinders.” Having had a few, I agreed.

Look at the picture !!! I put the can of beer and the pound coin in to give it some scale. The tomato is the size of a cricket ball, and the cucumber could pass itself off as a torpedo. They’ve both got to be mutants … it must be Radon gas or something.

I’m being surrounded by mutant plants. It’s like a bloody science fiction B movie.
:eek:
