Hope he comes soon then for you and all goodies present and correct, any sweet things for sharing with us all?.
I have thought about online shopping a lot lately, but just unsure with the need to give my bank details, but saying that I think I should start, several friends and neighbours have Asda delivery and I have never heard of any breach of their security.
LB darlin’ - go for it!!! - no problem with giving supermarket my DEBIT card details. Does make shopping a lot easier (and less painful).
I have looked at the store online, seems simple enough, I gather with there being ‘favourites’ that it’s only the first initial shop that will be the hardest gathering all the usual items, and then looking around for other foods.
It seemed relatively easy, so maybe now that it’s again in my mind I will give it a go.
Thinking now, no pushing the trolley around, no check-out queue’s, chats with neighbours…ah, I will miss that.:shock: but I can invite them around to me, after the fish and chip shop of course.
Todays lunch;
… two boiled ‘pick your own’ free range eggs from the fruit farm and some home made brown bread, then grapes,
… all washed down with freshly ground kenyan coffee 
Shopping for groceries on line is the best thing. I don’t have to walk around the supermarket putting stuff into my trolley and then I don’t have to queue at the checkout to pay. Then I don’t have to bag it and put it back in the trolley and push it to the car and struggle to put it all in the car without crunching, flattenting or breaking. (the fragile stuff like bread and eggs not me)
I order about eight 4 pinters of milk, eight loaves of bread and freeze them so I always have bread and milk. I visit Aldi once or twice a week for some fresh fruit and veg but Tesco or Asda deliver the big heavy stuff.
I always have a bit of a laugh with the delivery person so I don’t miss out on the chats.
The other thing is don’t worry about being slim, I have been obese for years and most diseases seem to happen to people who are obese. I know it is not good to lose all the weight due to shock or illness but look on the bright side you are probably fitter than us cuddlier folk.
LB darlin’ - since you’re no longer spending time visiting the supermarket, you can use that time spent in the kitchen doing more cooking - how’s that for putting on weight???
Now that is a good idea, Jam Roly Poly here I come.

What about a banana fruit loaf. You’ll need - 2 Lb loaf tin greased and lined. 3 ripe bananas peeled and sliced, 4 oz margarine, 2 eggs, 6 oz self-raising flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 4 oz dried mixed fruit, 3 oz walnuts, 2 Tblsp milk.
Mix all ingredients (except walnuts) together, stir walnuts into mixture. Pour all ingredients into loaf tin and place in a pre-heated oven (at 180 oc) for approx 1 hour. Cake is cooked through when knife placed in it comes out clean. Bon appetite!!!
Lunch today was ham and cheese sandwich with mustard.
LB, home grocery delivery is the greatest thing since sliced bread; I wouldn’t be without it, especially as my health has made shopping difficult. I don’t miss it at all!
Lunch, pear, Boursin on wheat thins, small cup of miso soup,Ensure chocolate health drink.
I could and would have once upon a time Joe, but that’s a weeks rations for me now…
Thanks Uncle Joe but no, I don’t eat puddings either, except on the rarest of occasions. I don’t have a sweet tooth.
I went into Aldi today and they had two large corn on the cob for 89p I popped them into the microwave for 7 minutes and they were gorgeous. I had corn with chicken, tomatoe and onion salad with steamed potatoes.
Some of us still have a very healthy appetite
I know what you mean plantman, the days of over indulgence have have taken there toll. Suddenly I am getting the problems of an obese woman including ‘women’s problems’ arthritis, high blood pressure, ‘more women’s problems’ the list actually is a bit scary. Now I am actually enjoying my food reading the ingredients particularly the amount of fat, sugar and salt. I have been gob smacked at the amount of hidden fats and sugars dressed as other things in all kinds of food.
OK sometimes it tastes like I am eating the cardboard box that the biscuits came in but I am losing weight at last.
Today I will hardboil some eggs and have an old fashioned salad like muvver used to make. (except there will be no slugs in the lettuce)
Lunch today; home made bread roll with a banana
Later for dinner; roast Welsh lamb with garlic/ rosemary/beans from my garden and various other veg. I am really looking forward to it but need to do some work to earn it first :-).
Meg darlin’ - sit back in chair, put feet up on stool. Raise left leg once and return to stool, raise right leg once and return to stool. You can now honestly say you’ve done enough work to ‘earn’ your dinner.
If it were only that easy, Uncle Joe!
Uncle Joe 
I have just washed a carpet with a scrubbing brush on my hands and knees, later I will walk the dog for an hour and do the ironing , then when I have done these things I will have earned my dinner
Meg darlin’ - with my metal knees, kneeling anywhere is an absolute no,no. Don’t have dog, or indeed any pet, since firstly forbidden in my tenancy agreement, secondly I’m chronically asthmatic. Therefore walking is also strictly limited from lounge to kitchen and back when my stomach tells me my throat’s been cut
