Hi, I’m CEO and I have a crockery problem. I am currently dealing with it but I would like to apologise to anyone who has given me stuff in the past thinking I will use them in good faith. I do love serving bowls but I don’t need 10 of them and I don’t need the tiny bowls that go with them.
The good news is someone else will appreciate this stuff more than me.
I just gave away half of everything to the Young Seagoons. 👍
back from doc, I am good, just gotta keep doing what I’m doing 👍
Great news!
Thank you. 😘
Yay! You are doing amazing! And I just back from doc too! I need iron but that is not unexpected
oldgreeg, hugs, hope it’s not too debilitating
Everyone seems to be at the doctors recently!
I get the results from my blood test tomorrow, last time it showed low iron and vit. D, and given I’ve not been anywhere near as good as I should have been at taking the recommended suplements I expect I will have the same result again.
Just had a fruitful conversation and maybe I could get a job at barbecue sauce?
Fuck corner cupboards. I had to basically get inside the cupboard with head down, feel around in there and slither back out. I found relics.
I just went to post my bowel screening test back and realised I forgot to actually put the tubes in the envelope. I actually had the envelope in the delivery slot when I realised, luckily I hadn’t let go yet.
The Temu return was much more successful. The dodgy ill-fitting shoes are now out of my life.
hahaha. Thanks - I’ll make a note to remember that myself!
I’ve been sorting out my spices etc. and some of that stuff has been around way too long - expiry dates 8-10 years ago! I think it’s time to toss most of it and buy fresh.
I would also like to question my past self as to why she bought so much of so many different types of salt. I have rock salt, ground salt and salt flakes, all with iodised and non-iodised versions. Plus pink salt and black salt. The only saving grace is that salt doesn’t go off. Although the black salt smells like it has and I haven’t liked any of the uses recommended for it, so I’ve made the executive decision to toss that one out. Now I only have 7 different types of salt to manage!
I sort the pantry and all my cupboards every six months, just a habit from being an expat and not having much stuff
My pantry is mostly pretty good, there’s just a few areas that got a bit out of control, especially the spices. I had a bit much clutter and ended up with bits spread everywhere, then I’d buy more of things because I couldn’t find them. And then of course I moved house which just compounded the chaos.
I’ve got a spot cleared now to store all the bulk stuff (I mostly buy whole spices and grind my own). There are a few things in there I don’t really use to get rid of, and most of the older packets are pretty much empty.
Is the black salt, kala namak? aka eggy salt, aka it has sulphur in it. It might be supposed to smell like that.
Yes, it is. It is supposed to smell like that, but it’s not something I actually liked. I kept seeing things about how it was really great in egg dishes so I thought I’d give it a try, but I really didn’t like it.
I was at a fancy buffet breakfast recently that had an entire salt range! And a honey bar. Absolutely loved it. You could set up your own salt bar!
This entire album is so good.
I just started listening to it yesterday.
I’m a huge fan of the first album, but never dug into the rest till now.
PT really sucks ass.
Left the house at 7:20am and due to “signalling faults” I ended up going back home.
signally faults = people stealing the copper wires
Considering where I live that wouldn’t be surprising.
I’m off to get some blood drawn
Must be a sharp pencil!
Sorry, I’ll see myself out…
Boooo
So moist and sticky
I’ve put the aircon at work to ‘dry’ - really helps.
I did not know that was a thing. Experimenting now!
I worked out it costs me $650 a week after tax in travel time costs for work.
Crazy.
Time is valuable.
If you worked from home you could use that time more productively.
Our Eurovision entry this year. I live for a key change.
Ohh yeahhhhhhhh

Spice sorting turned out to be a lot more effort than I expected, largely because the project kept getting bigger as I went!
But I have now cleaned out and rearranged all the herbs & spices, including freshly grinding a lot of the spices which were close to empty. I was very low on a lot of things and am completely out of ground cinnamon, which hampered my attempt to mix a new batch of mixed spice as well. I now have a shopping list to replace all the things I’m out of.
