We've been using Ocado these past few weeks and ordered 7 bananas.

Turns out I forgot you can't order individual items and this turned up:

three guesses as to what the kids are having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner hehehe

Exactly what I said to them!

I really like your kitchen table by the way -- it looks like it has seen years of both Man and Wolf, and not only survived but thrived. I have a similar one and no joke its longevity and endurance makes it one of my most prizes possessions

Haha thanks! It's a £90 IKEA table that we've had for over 10 years now. The cats doing her fair share of damage to it, second only to copious amounts of porridge that never finds its way into the children's* mouths!

**^Maybe mine too^

Old Ikea is Best Ikea. They ("Ikea") literally do not build them to the same standard as they did 10 years ago. When I moved house, I brought all my seemingly-cheap-and-flimsy flatpack stuff with me at great cost, just because I knew I would not find anything of the same quality for the same price as what I paid for it

If you have some on the turn, unpeel them, stick a chopstick in them and pop it in the freezer and you'll get a lovely ice lolly. Maybe not quite the time of year, but they'll keep nicely there.

Just the longest week though not all bad. We're ending it with a new car after admitting our current car from 2012 is done. So we're upgrading from a 2008 fiesta 200k miles to a Mk8 civic 34k miles absolute bargain and it was only round the corner. Now watching the most painful Packers game in a long while.

Gaming started escape from duckov great pickup 10 min or all afternoon game.

Bit of drama with the washing machine. Shook itself apart and smoke started coming out, not ideal.

When removing the old one it looks like the sink waste had been leaking as under the kitchen cupboards was a pool of water.

Other than that, a great week 🫠
