Hug for foot but agree with the boredom bit - opening fridge and peering aimlessly into cupboards. I’m also eating a ton of cheese a day.Wounded soldier here!!!! (Or that's what my Mum used call anyone with a sticky plaster stuck on them). I don't know how but I managed to fall down the stairs yesterday afternoon - I vaguely remember my feet or a foot slipping outwards from in front of me. The plaster is on my little toe left foot but I seem to have done something a bit more serious to my right foot - just can't figure out what. I whacked my heel on the way down and now the foot hurts from the heel to the middle of the foot but only when I stand on it. So, to the dogs utter dismay, I am mostly hopping around. I think I was luck - it could have been so much worse.
Anyone else eating (or attempting to find food to eat) through boredom? All I can find that I feel like eating is cheese!
Breakfast: Usual 3 egg omelette with sugar free almond syrup (not my favourite carb free syrup)
Lunch: Actimel, cheese on Burgen toast
Dinner: Jamie Oliver's lentil tabbouleh with a rocket, olive and avocado salad
@DCUKMod sorry, i didnt explain clearly enough. The battery was failing to charge, even on mains. We have received notification from Amazon that they are prioritising essentials, whatever those are. Our postal service is now three days a week Wed-Fri.
However my Marvellous Multi-Talented MrSlim has somehow fixed the laptop so that it will now function again when plugged into mains.
Edited to add:
Laptop ran for five mins and died again. No resurrection possible.
And I only said to you smugly a couple of weeks ago that I still had a couple of boxes in the freezer when you mentioned the milk choc brownies! They must have been mouldering in the garage all the while!Evening all.
Just finished sorting my Morrison’s delivery. More successful than for @ianpspurs in that there were no ridiculous substitutes and they took the one I didn’t want back. Even delivered box of 15 eggs (1 was broken). However the missing items were all meat - 3 x lamb ribs, 1 x half lamb shoulder and 2 x tins corned beef
@DJC3 that quiche does look good. Will give it a go with the suggested carni twist (all in CMT). Would make a good basis for work lunches.
@Chook Dinner was 2 brined chicken thighs followed by (sorry @DJC3) a warmed DGF double chocolate brownie with extra thick double cream.

I’m on to it, thanks!They still have some: https://deliciouslyguiltfree.com/products/double-chocolate-brownie (it is nearly Easter!)
We too had/were poor little wounded soldiers - I've always assumed it was a wartime children's thing....
How very cheering to get that Spam prize! I’m now singing the Monty Python song, and probably will carry on for days. I used to do a lot of competitions ( before they were all online) and won all sorts of things, from the sublime ( a wine tasting holiday to France c/o Waitrose magazine) to the ridiculous (a 6inch block of Tempur mattress) I used to really look forward to the post.On a positive note, I entered a competition a while back during the Spam appreciation Week for fun. You had to submit a recipe using Spam which I did. I didn't win 1st prize (which was £1,000 of shopping vouchers) but I was one of 10 runners up in the European section and will receive a Limited edition sizzle pack plus Spam products when this is over. It certainly brightened my day and left me with Monty python and Spam, spam, spam, spam going through my head!
