Extra Easy Days Trefoil's Trip To Target!

[Trefoil]

Indonesian chicken sounds yummy! The asda fruit pot too- I keep looking out for them at shops but there's always melon, which I'm not mad about. Keep at it!
Have you got anything nice planned this weekend? X

It was very lovely @Poppet12 the Asda fruit pot wasn't from the normal fruit area it was near the sandwiches because I happened to walk in the other entrance and saw them! Very nice too- there's a lot of fruits that I can't eat but those ones are just fine
I am nipping to Asda to get my prawns and Salmon this morning and also have a coffee with my parents, then meeting OH on his lunchbreak and then I have ironing and hoovering to do (boo) what about you?

Sounds like a nice day, minus the hoovering and ironing! It's lovely weather today fingers crossed it holds. Thanks for the tip- I'll look out for the fruit near the to-go section!
I'm working this morning then have short shift at work (my favourite- just get to turn up, do session with kids and bugger off before all the clearing up starts!)
Then we have some visitors over which will be lovely I did all my cleaning yesterday so it should be a nice relaxing afternoon!
Before dark, will need to get animals cosied up and shut away for the night- expecting lots of fireworks. I like autumn but I hate bonfire weekend, far too much worry :-( hopefully everyone will be ok! X

I love fireworks - but not a big fan of all the noise! A lot of that stems from the ridiculous fireworks in Central America, which weren't pretty, just loud - and you couldn't be certain that it wasn't someone getting shot! I was reading about this the other day: http://dogtime.com/trending/33475-town-italy-switches-silent-fireworks-reduce-anxiety-animals
I know the zoo near us does a silent fireworks show, but it's one small place - there were SO many going off last night.

 

[Poppet12]

Silent fireworks are such a good idea- I've never seen them advertised round here but they would take away so much anxiety for people. A friend of mine was terrified of them as a child, the bangs are just too much. I've got a bit of a dodgy ear too so it can be a bit painful!
I can imagine it being even more worrying in America with the gun laws, you'd never be quite sure what was going on!

In A&E. Have been here since 6:15...
Dan has decided to put his fingers into the potato chipper and cut the tops of two fingers off!
So much for a fabulous evening

Oh no! Hope he will be ok and you're not stuck there too long x

 

[Trefoil]

Home really late due to it being bonfire night...
Starving as we were just starting dinner when it happened.
Got Dan a takeaway pizza and chips
I got a deliveroo from Prezzo. Did my best..


Olives, chargrilled chicken, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, cherry tomatoes, mini croutons (dry), avocado pieces, mixed salad and honey and mustard dressing.
1/2 portion of chips.
I'd only had 3 syns for the day so far before this and I've been under a few times during the week. Hopefully I won't be in too much trouble!
This was my lunch too: (3 syns)

What a day!!

Oh gosh I bet that was scary! I hope Dan's OK?!
Sounds like you did your best under the circumstances! X

It was a bit! He is alright but has his arm in a sling! I couldn't do any more :/ it was 10:05pm and Dan was starving, so I got him a takeaway. I will cope with the consequences tomorrow. It was yum though!
How was your evening?

Poor lad! I bet that was a shock!
Evening was nice but bad. I was disorganised, it was my own fault. But I shall try harder next week X

Bless him, he was absolutely beside himself. He's OK now though! Don't worry- as long as you enjoyed it. Just get back on it and you will have a super loss next week I am sure!

Ooh that sounds lovely,let us know how it tastes! Should be quite filling too with the baked beans in. Perfect weather for soup today, it's freezing! X

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Soup looks lovely! I find adding baked beans (or any pulse) a good idea, because it adds filling power. I've had a craving for chowder recently, so may have to pick up some creamed corn.

 

[Trefoil]

Eeek!
