Laxie Goes Primetime

[Laxie]

Day 4 on the no smoking front and going grand.  It really is easy for the most part.  Sure, you'll have the odd time where the idea creeps back into the brain.  Just have to remind yerself why you decided to stop in the first place and the creepy thoughts aren't long disappearing.  Not sure how long it takes to totally clear the nicotine from the system, but another couple of days should totally clear me brain of the 'habit' side of things.

Celery really does work a treat.  Although, I've had to cut out the peanut butter.  Found I'd cleared through nearly half the jar...on the first day.     Wouldn't mind, but I'd also miscalculated the calories of said endeavour - by LOTS.  Jack pointed that out after I innocently gave my 'total' for the day.  He's so funny when he discovers one of my errors.  The pride in his eyes as he smiles ear to ear...ya just wanna give him a big squeeze.

Another day, another DIY project being researched.  This time we're looking into sorting the flat roof on the garden shed.  I've stumbled on to this stuff called EPDM rubber roof.  No worries about losing a layer of skin to hot liquids poured wrong and installation seems simple enough.  I've googled mad and bookmarked a few sites, but if anyone has personal experience using the stuff, opinions welcomed.  Be great to get the lawn mower out of the front hall and back into the shed!

What were you doing walking on the roof?

Sigh.  I wouldn't dare walk on the current roof.  No way it would hold me.

[Laxie]

So here I sit diligently scouring the net for roof info. 

Meanwhile, Jack's over on facebook having a laugh for himself -

Dear Deirdre,

My new girlfriend keeps sending me links for sites like rubberfix.co.uk. Should I go along with her fetish or tell her I'm not happy as I'm just a shy, quiet lad?

Where's me whip?!

We're having a debate in this house.  'Best before' dates -

A)  just a silly recommendation, use as and when ya like.

B)  might be a silly recommendation, but get rid within 3-6 months of end date just to be safe.

C)  the date's there for a reason.  get rid once it reaches that date.

Pick one and post please.  There's a pride thing at stake here.  Cheers.

Best before - B with a side dish of taste/smell/texture, obv.

Use by - Seriously C.

Clearly A. Anyone who says differently is a fanny. (Though the occasional thing we find that's well out of date when we clear a cupboard or something would be thrown out, mainly because you'd have no intention of using it anyways...If you haven't eaten it within 6 months of buying it, you won't ever actually eat it)

lol, don't tell me you go for C?

[gatso]

anyone who says c is a moron (sorry dawn). if stuff suddenly magically became poisonous and only fit for the bin as soon as the date is passed then it wouldn't be legal to sell it

[TightEnd]

D) 1996.

[gatso]

and also, why would use by dates exist if best before dates are when you're supposed to use something by?
