Takeaways

Claremont - I’m beginning to feel you’re a tad 😇. Sometimes accepting good enough rather than perfection is least worst.

Now that is funny thanks. And it is certainly not about clutching pearls or looking down.

Especially as I have said many times that there is nothing wrong at all with take-aways- occasionally. But not as a very regular and frequent habit.

Apart from stating "most takeaways are full of fat or sugar or both"
And that you "could feed a family of 4 for a week for the same cost",
However apparently "many times there is nothing at all wrong with takeaway meals"

Thanks for that RosieandherMaw.
I’d noticed Claremont’s mixed comments, but CBB to go back and look them up.

It works out ridiculously expensive if you live alone, even if you bypass the Just Eat/Uber etc delivery charges still push the cost up so much you can land up paying 50% more just for delivery.

When one of my children come to stay we will often have a takeaway delivered but that's probably 3 times a year at the most. Occasionally if I'm feeling flush, I order from a local Indian which is fabulous and I might order 2 curries - cool one of them quickly and put in the freezer.

I stick to meat as I know I could be double freezing so avoid seafood. I've been doing that for years and I've never had any adverse effects.

When I think of all the half eaten chinese/pizzas that my children and friends would throw in the fridge and then eat for breakfast, I don't think one frozen lamb bhuna is the end of the world.

Indeed.

We are just about to order our fish and chips. I have been up since 8am, getting husband up and toileted and dressed. Put a load of washing in. Emptied urine bottles and disinfected. Replenished the bird feeders, made breakfast. Took bedding back upstairs. Put loads of washing away. Made up horse feed. Made coffee. Hung washing out. Cleaned commode and put in summerhouse. By then it was 12 and I managed to get washed, dressed and did my hair. Physio arrived so I watched the session and took instructions. Made lunch. Someone came round to collect a Freebie mirror. Husband went for his sleep so I sat down to read the news and nodded off.

I reckon we deserve fish and chips tonight. Cooking is not on my To Do list tonight. 🤣. I will watch Gladiators tonight and reminisce about how I was very sporty and agile and had a lovely figure.

You have certainly earned your fish and chips, so enjoy them.
We have been on the go all day too, helping elderly neighbour, sorting out sleeping arrangements for imminent family visit,
preparing utility room for painting.
We are going to have Chinese tonight as a reward.

Enjoy your fish n chips Primrose and I hope you sleep well tonight.
In similar to circumstances, I found a local small business delivered decent home made food for less expense than ready meals. Yes our generation can generally rustle up good food but there are days when a bit of a rest is welcome
