    As your name is Nick I assume you nick them. Have to stop that soon when Sainsburies rolls out face recognition.

      I do the self-scanning thing so there's always the risk of being randomly selected for a spot check on the way through the checkout! Probably easier to get away with nicking stuff if you go through the staffed tills

        My latest attempt at making something different for dinner is in the oven for a long, slow cook: lamb tagine

        I was surprised at how much ras el hanout the recipe suggested using, so I looked up another recipe and it said the same! Mine not to reason why, but at least it'll be spicy

          Royal Mail arrived!

          As far as I can tell, Evri have decided not to bother today

            After a bit of figuring out of how best to use the slider things that were delivered today, a lot of washing up liquid as lubricant, and a heck of a lot of pushing, the washer-dryer is in position!

            It now needs to do a "calibration cycle" which takes about two hours, so I've kicked that off

            I'm absolutely knackered

            I only needed one slider in the end, just to get one of the back feet over the dodgy bit of floor

            And I went through a whole palaver to link it with the app on my phone, so I don't have to go in there to see how it's doing

              I had been thinking of making some kind of rice pilaf to go with the lamb tagine, but I couldn't be bothered so I had it with chips instead

              It turned out pretty well for a first attempt! I shall have to think about ways in which I could tweak the recipe to suit my tastes, but it was OK

              This was accompanied by a bit of Trucking Hell just for a change

              The washer-dryer is coming to the end of its calibration run. I'm just hoping it doesn't wreck the place when it gets to the spinning bit

                Far from it! I went through to the kitchen when the app said it had reached the spin bit, just in case, and you'd barely know it was doing it, it remained so stable!

                Might put a wash on now, as it would be nice to have some clothes to wear tomorrow and it doesn't seem like it'll disturb the neighbours

                  Unexpected delivery from Amazon just now: the drain blanking cap that they failed to deliver last week and have already refunded me for

                  They said there was no need to return it on the refund confirmation, but I didn't expect them to turn up with it so I had something to not return!
