    Grate, shred, spiralise them Dove?  Eat as salads.

    I couldn't bring myself to press 'go'. Too toe-curlingly excruciatingly embarrassing.
    However, unfortunately, it's imprinted on my brain.

    That's always good for a giggle @pansyface ... even my OH could make a better stab at it than that  ;)

    @Obelixx ... they have been grated, shredded, turned into cakes, pickles, frittata, pasta dishes of all sorts, soups, fritters, sliced, softened in oil and frozen to reappear another day ... we don't yet have a spiraliser, but as OH starts work next week for a company that sells them I expect we'll have one soon  :)

  • I am not having a good day`.

    I woke up in an inexpicable foul mood. Lord knows why. And Upstairs has been playing loud music since 10am.  And singing along with it in a voice that is reminiscent of a peacock.  

    More worryingly, one of the Next Door's children had a temper tantrum for about 15 minutes. And I mean a real uncontrolled scream hysterically tantrum. Her mom couldn't seem to stop her. I don't know how she had the breath to keep it up. 

    I really wish I lived in the middle of nowhere.

    And some subbie has come to fix a bathroom light that isn't broken and not do the wiring job I was told he was going to do.   And then he tells me he doesn't like dogs so I have to lock George in the bedroom.  And to cap it all, he hasn't got the light fitting on the van.  So he'll be back in a hour. 

    You'd think that would be something to check before you set out to do the job.....  or is that just me?

    Oh dear Laura ((hugs))   ... you'd better re-read your Signature and let it fill you with positivity  ;)

    Laura,your mood is not inexplicable. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Are you in glow worm mode or is it like a garden light and only shows at night?

  • I did reread it.  And now I'm fed up I'm not a glow worm.......



    Nah, I'm only kidding!   I can only assume the mood is because it would be my 'time of the month' if I were still having them.  Sometimes I do get symptoms.    The female system is a mystery unto itself.

    Laura ,If there is one thing that upsets me it’s negative noise. Home is where we expect a modicum of peace . I am not surprised that you are upset. And as far as your electrician is  concerned incompetent or what . I have had that kind of thing happen to me when the plumber already new what the problem was .

  • It's so annoying, isn't it?  It's not an emergency job, it's on his list.  

    It's a trivial thing, really, but when I'm feeling grumpy anyway......
