I LOVE a proper, slow cooked ragu. Not made one in an age though. We have had an old school style butcher open a little walk away though - perhaps I ought to plan one.
Currently on our way to Hereford for the day. Would you consider somewhere like Abergavenny/Monmouthshire for a potential move, @Rachey? The countryside is lovely in its own right, easy to get to Brecon or Pembrokeshire for a day or weekend, easier in terms of getting back to the island, and also well connected to Cardiff if you want a day of culture/ shopping etc.

See, I think you made the right choice. Lamb ragu is only for leftovers, otherwise beef…

NO HE DOESN'T. He has been ECONOMICALLY INACTIVE for 12 YEARS without claiming a SINGLE BENEFIT. They said he should claim PIP because he claims he can't COOK A MEAL (which isn't strictly true as he did last week as it was obvious I was NOT GOING TO RISE FROM MY SICKBED to do it). No I WON'T try a different medication as I won't sleep (and then he stopped taking it anyway and it made NO difference at all). No I WON'T have a SUPPORT WORKER because I'M NOT THAT SORT OF PERSON. No I WON'T make an appointment with the doctor as I don't how to explain how all these MYSTERIOUS DEBILITATING SYMPTOMS I was suddenly struck down while having some kind of BREAKDOWN TWO YEARS AGO - obviously it's due to a FUNGAL INFECTION and nothing to do with the fact that I nearly DIED.

I was told to claim PIP as well as my sickness benefit but doubt I'd get it as I can do things like dress myself, cook, clean. Supposed to be hard to get. Does continue indefinitely though, whereas mine ends when I'm 66 and change to the pension.

I FEEL SICK.
Had a whole Charlie Bigham's fish pie for brunch, 650g. Says it's for two. Did offer wife some but she refused, isn't keen. Was £3.49 instead of £9.50. You may have seen them advertised on TV. Dear for a ready meal but they are good. Had his lasagne and cottage pie too, equally as good. Lots of fish and salmon in there under the mashed potato. I put extra cheese on top. I see he'sddoing a £19.99 one now for people who want a nice meal but can't be bothered to cook or go out. Got a Sainsburys big apple pie for later when my tummy settles. Wife's in today and wants it.....May have some tinned custard on that. Then a big chicken pie for tomorrow. She got a nice haul, all reduced again.

Your opinion but wife goes every Friday to the big Sainsburys at 6-7pm after work and gets loads. She doesn't buy any old shit as you put it but only shat we like.We hardly spend our lives there but why pay full price for mince or chicken when she can get breasts and thighs for a third of the price and freeze them? Some weeks there's not much but some weeks loads, veg too. The tender-stem broccoli is quite dear and she got loads of that..Her rich employers are very fussy. Throw anything the day BEFORE the use by date...She brings it home with their knowledge as I'll eat anything and hate waste. Their daughter, 20, calls me the dustbin! Cheeky. They often say to her, do the fridge or freezer out and either throw everything or take it home. Food's fine if it's frozen. Smoked salmon last week.
She nearly had a fight over a reduced chicken yesterday but said to her "you can have it, hope it chokes you" LMAO.

Why you wouldn't even try applying for benefits you may be entitled to puzzles me. It's your money, you pay/paid tax and national insurance for that very reason.

Are you meaning me or Shirley and her hubby? Wish I'd applied for PIP years ago, may have got it. Don't want to turn this in to a benefits thread though.

That sounds reasonable. Any drinks in with that though?

I'd love ragu.
I've been up in the country moving someone into their house all day with dozens of people vying to dry the dishes.
It was lovely but I am glad to be tucked inside at home now with a jigsaw.

Oh we did Abergavenny and Monmouth a while ago, both beautiful but we didn't think the public transport was very good. Seemed to be buses at very random times.

An ex friend of mine claims pip. She has fibromyalgia and social anxiety and when she had her pip interview she told them about her worst day, multiplied it by 10 and said that was her every day.
She now gets £670 ish a month and spends it on holidays because she and her husband earn loads so don't really need the money.
She admitted she lied and doesn't really need the money. And part of the reason she struggles to walk is because she's grossly overweight.
I'm pleased we're no longer friends.
