| I enjoy the countryside so much. |
I rambled around my village again... My trips are always fed with met with this adventure this time it was a snarling Highland terrier. The owner simply said he is all noise.... hmmm not so sure on that one.
This week has felt quite murky and the picture have a an air of not quite winter and not quite spring about them. I think I am ready for a recharge and I am
You see its not all landscape this is one of the oldest cottages in my village.
I always look to where I am going to to see what I can achieve.

Keeping it simple : Spring cleaning : win a silver bangle
This week I have been clearing out ...
Ideal just before spring cleaning the house ( big cough )
What you can do with children or adults is to give them a bin bag and play the mission impossible music and see what they can tidy away in the time in takes the song to play.
Or if you need long select a suitable play list of song to tidy along to for say fifteen minutes.
So in my clearing out I found this band new bracelet I had ordered and never wore.

Take away :Think twice
I have been a been a victim of a hold up.
A crime that will get repeated over and over again.
To be fair I am probaly a victim of my own laziness .. wanting a treat on Valentines day.
Yes I succumbed to that trend that is online food ordering. Its not something we do very often its a treat ....
But I tell you what in future I am going to the takeaway that I see on line and odering from them direct.
Now I understand that people have a business to run and that items will be marked up and that you will pay more I accept that.
But what I am outraged with is utter daylight robbery so below is a summary of my order.
Just eat prices and the Chinese takeaway prices.
Chicken Curry (Just Eat ) £4.50 Chinese Price £3.90
Egg Fried Rice Large (just Eat) £2.80 Chinese price £2.40
Pork balls Sweet and Sour (Just Eat ) £5.00 Chinese Price £4.00
Special Egg Foo Yung £5.30 (Just Eat) £5.30 Chinese Price £4.40
Just eat delivery £2.50 plus 50p for processing card Chinese price free delivery over £15
Total order price for Just eat order £20.60 Chinese order would have been £14.70 ( but I would have ordered prawn crackers to tip it over the £15 )
That's a huge difference of £5.90 and again I stress I understand the need for a mark up we all have to eat .. believe me the irony of this statement is not lost on me. But what I object too and quite rightly is such a horrific mark up.
When it was delivered the man said to me never order through Just Eat with us as they charge too much.
I have been told that the price should be the same as ordering through the restaurant itself .. well its not and I feel as if I have been mugged.
