Yantan Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 We had stir fried chicken with rice using the recipe for the same dish we got in one of our Hello Fresh boxes a couple of weeks. It was so delish that we had to try it again. Nomnomnom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Moaning all Not been on for a bit so hope everyone is okay. Could do with some sensible advice off you lot. I've been invited to Twickers to watch England v Scotland in the six nations. Now the trouble is that it's with some of our directors (and apparently I've been chosen cos I'm a 'high flyer' - obviously a case of mistaken identify ). Do I go or do I politely decline? I love rugby but it's a right old faff getting there and I can't trust me not to make a total pratt of myself Edited January 31, 2017 by merledogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's a difficult one Alex. If you refuse, could it affect your job prospects? Would they be offended that "the chosen one" had rejected their invitation? If it really will be hard to get there, assuming they know you have pets that's always a good get out, you would have to leave them for far too long and your usual walker/carer can't do it. Why do you think you'd make a pratt of yourself for heaven's sake, unless you think there might be too much liquid hospitality going around? If these are people you normally talk to and get along with at work, why should it be any different at an event? Sorry, too many questions, not enough answers!

griff Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Alex, go...if you can manage leaving the dogs. Just have a couple of drinks or whatever and go and enjoy the game and food...i would give my arm to go Lol...i doubt you would make a prat of yourself and i bet you a pound to a penny if it is free booze there will be more than one who does something a bit daft! I have lost count of the stupid stuff i did at works events...some of it even sober!!! our christmas do's always led to us being asked to leave and being told none of us were welcome to return Lol the last one i only showed up for one drink before going to my fellas and got barred from one of the hotels in the city centre Lol...after a few days anyone who did anything daft got forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have a no cold callers sign on the gate and on the front door which can be clearly seen from the road. Does this stop the buggers? No it doesn't and then when I point to the sign they play it all coy and say "oh I never noticed but anyway as I'm here...." I've had 5 cold callers knock in the past 10 days and when no 6 came knocking today I told him I had no interest in whatever it was he was hawking and please go away & shut the door on him. He then called out to his mate knocking next door that I was an ignorant cow. He also left the gate wide open which is the thing that made me see red. I went out and told them that when they find a gate shut then they should leave it as they find it especially when there is chuffin great "please close the gate" sign on it. I got a bit of attitude from them and I have to say I lost my temper and called them "rancid little piles of sh*te" and told them to feck off. I didn't get which company they were representing but they were in suits so it wasn't garden services or fish they were peddling.It bothers me that older and/or more vulnerable people get taken in by their doorstep smarm. Oh and apparently there has been a recent ruling that charity cold callers are allowed to ignore no cold calling signs. Well if a chugger knocks at my door they will only ensure that I NEVER donate to their cause - even if it's for animals. There are plenty of struggling causes that I can give my donations to that don't bother me in this way, There really ought to be a law to stop ALL cold callers. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Griff I am so pleased that I am way too old to have been caught up in the age of the wax! Oh and yes curry was gorgeous I had to restrict my portion size as I could have cleared the lot and there are 5 meals in the slow cooker at least Care to share the recipe? I got an electric pressure cooker for Christmas that also doubles as a slow cooker at the flick of a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
