Things I learnt this week

[highlandpony]

Not only that but I also go through way less tissues - my missus hates me on carbs as it makes me really really snotty!

now you come to mention that, my nose has much improved.

Interesting...... My asthma has been much better this winter.

Great posts, I love it piglet.

Today I learnt that courgette strips made with a potato peeler, microwaved with butter and pepper are absolutely gorgeous with a little lightly fried fish and very quick to make. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!

I also learnt that filling my water bottle before I start my hour long journey home from work - fills me up when I am a little peckish (with plenty of temptation en route) and helps me up my water intake - YAY!

Have you seen those lovely bottles that Lakeland do - you can put the core in your freezer, fill it with ordinary water and it chills it for you

Ooh no - but they sound like a good idea. I'll look into it. Thanks

With regards to learning anything over the last couple of days - I can't think of anything new learnt over the last couple of days - but having had to get up early over the last couple of days I've remembered how beautiful it is to see the dawn, especially on a beautiful crisp winter's morning.

Those Lakeland catalogues are the bees knees, I love reading them, we have bought a few things but there's so much I could buy LOL.

 

[LVLLM]

oh I could spend a fortune Jim. I love the shops too. very dangerous for me

 

[Jim]

I don't really go shopping so I'm safe there Vicky.

 

[LVLLM]

LOL. we might drag you shopping...where is the lakeland shop in birmingham

 

[Jim]

Just checked it Vicky, it's in solihull so it's miles away

 

[LVLLM]

LOL near you then?

And there's an Ikea at Wednesbury (?), short train ride from the city centre - just opposite the RAC I used to work from sometimes

 

[Jim]

It's the other side of Birmingham from me vicky.

You used to work at the big RAC building by the Motorway Susie?

 

[LVLLM]

thats the one I was thinking of Jim the massive one you pass x

 

[Jim]

OK, it's not easy to get to without transport love.

 

[LVLLM]

sorry was on about the RAC place Jim x

 

[Jim]

ah, not the Ikea, yes the RAC building is huge love.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yes Jim, I drove up from London a couple of times a week to work out of the big one (M5/6). A real schelp from the nearest station but Ok by car (when the traffic wasn't diabolical!). Made for a long day, in the car at 6 to try and get there for 9, then leave at 6 and home who knows when (thanks to the M25)!

 

[LVLLM]
