A Bag Of Nervous Nuns

Though honestly I am more relaxed.

It still seems.

That people think I'm a bag of nervous nuns.

I think I must need to practice my humorous faces.



SO how to you practice an outwardly I'm ok face ... even though you are ok inside.

But have a reputation for being more nervous that a chocolate tea pot .

Yours puzzled





Silly Cycle Silliness Matters

Blowing the cobwebs away .


A simple cycle .

May not be exciting to some .


But to me it's pure joy , elation and sets my mind joyfully free.


And when no one is looking .


And I am on one of the lanes that I love.


I start at the top of the little hill take my feet off the petals.

And go wheeeeeeeeeeee ....


Because quite frankly silly things matter.

Taste Inc Burgers Gone in 90 Seconds.

I was somewhat puzzled when a shed load of burgers turned up .

I scratched my head and pondered.

Then I looked through my email and found yes I had agreed to road test some burgers , not my usual fare I know.


My son liked the chicken ones as did my husband , their verdict was that they were good and fulfilled an immediate hunger need.

And they are also handy coming in after a rugby game when one day my son didn't want to have the boiled to death pasta the rugby club had on offer.

Meal Planning Monday January 20th

Meal planning is essential especially this week the blur ray player blew up then the PS4 went wrong ( it caught the blue screen of death) luckily we have a spare blu ray player ( I have a tendency to squirrel things away ) and The Ps4 is under warranty from Amazon so that has gone back . I don't feel confidant enough to order the PS4 from Amazon again so we decided to go to a High Street shop and buy it from there. Yes we will be out of pocket for a few days until Amazon short out our refund but least if this one goes wrong we have a face to face contact to deal with.

You might be wondering why meal planning is essential ? it helps cut down your costs and allowed to  us to build up a money contingency if anything else goes wrong * as I speak I think the radio is trying to contact the afterlife. I have been food shopping for 9 days only to get the basics like milk , bread creme eggs and toilet rolls.

Monday Chicken and Corn Beef Pasta Pasta Bake In A Tomato Sauce.

This was frozen from Saturday and there is 3 portions so that's Monday sorted.


Tuesday Party food Roulette .The frozen party food is slowly going down * don't think I can eat any more chicken satays , possibly.


Wednesday Homemade Beefburgers With Apple And Marmite.

Thursday  Beef In Black Bean Sauce With Egg Fried Rice and Prawn Crackers.


Friday Chicken Teriyaki

Saturday Seasame Covered Fish steamed Vegtables.

Sunday A roast .



Meal Planning Monday

The Drugs Don't Work.

My name is Jack

  " I've been clean from drugs  catnip for 1 day .




In my defence someone left the kitchen door open.

And the catnip was just lying there.

I had one , the one lead to 2 .

Then the pink elephants starting going on parade .

How weird is that ? And I've not even seen the film Dumbo.

And the Poinsettia ; let's be honest no expects those things to last beyond Christmas anyway.

It was spoiling for a fight, so I took it down all the way to China town.

It died.

I won.

Seems I am not allowed catnip treats for a while now.

There was talk of me going on Jeremy Kyle .

Where I would have to face the demons of my past.

I tell you the catnip toy mouse was begging for it, so I ripped his ears off.

And apparently I didn't help matters when I brought a mouse in which happily sat under the fridge freezer bricking itself .

Mrs human bean couldn't remove it .

And Mr Human Bean wouldn't come home from work as he was on a conference call to Hong Kong.

It was removed eventually when Mr Human Bean came home.

He was muttering something about the Hong Kong people thinking his work place had a mouse problem.

My name is Jack and I have a catnip problem ."
