A thin layer of marmite topped with a generous layer of peanut butter on toast, sloshed down with a nice cup of tea, is a fab combination for breakfast and sets me up for the day

Possibly not the healthiest though, but I always have some fruit as well in atonement.

I prefer Tahin on bread, or toast, a tasty and healthy substitute for peanut butter.

I also love Ciganska Banitsa, which is toast with olive oil, salt and Chubritsa (Summer Savory herb) sprinkled and rubbed in to the toast

BG will know the craic

My wife tried to break my pb habit by buying tahini once. I couldn't stand it. She recently found the jar in the cupboard & asked if I was going to eat it. I told her there wasn't any chance I was going to eat it before it's best before date let alone now. The best before date was 1994, despite her reassuring me it wasn't mouldy & smelled OK, it was a hard pass on my part.

Have you tried the Sriracha dried spice in a Shake and add little tin Sara? It's amazing. I shake it on everything. Egg mayo sarnies, salad, baked beans, pasta, you name it.....

Didn't know you could get that... sounds good, I'll look out for it!

Its 'Cape Herb and Spice'
Sriracha Chilli
Sweet and sour hot thai seasoning

It's in a red and white tin about 4/5 inches high. I get it from Asda, all my friends have me get it for them

Be warned though. Don't breathe in when you remove the paper under the lid

Think I worked out my gas & electric for a 4 bed detached house, no kids at home will double from current £194 by the second increase which is January (?). Not sure when that kicks in but will be about £350-£380 early next year.
12 jumpers & 6 pairs of joggers and zero heating. Plus I’m eating sushi all winter so zero bills.

Hot tub will have to go

Hot tub will have to go

You’ll be drinking that fella. Won’t be able to afford any more water. Get in with several teabags and bingo.
That’s not a euphemism btw

What's happening about your tooth Rook?

Can't get a Dentist appointment until November, Swannie.

Thinking of having an implant.

Wow!

What a mess this country of ours is in!

Don't know much about implants, not my field apart from extraction and then drilling into the mandible/maxilla bone.
Quite intrusive surgery. I certainly wouldn't go down that route (no pun intended Surely the tooth can be built up if no pain.....root intact, root canal if necessary and then rebuilt with the incredible stuff dentists have at their disposal these days....seriously check out all your options.

The waiting list on the NHS is absurd.

If i go private, i can get in November.

It's going to cost me the best part of a grand to get this done, if i get an implant.

I just can't really afford it.
