Brought a mac n cheese Pot Noodle to work for today's dinner.

I usually stick to chicken and mushroom or the Bombay Bad Boy, but I'll give this a try.
Won't be adding the red sauce sachet though.

I'll start my diet next Sunday.

Heathen!

Can't beat Chicken and Mushroom or Bombay Bad Boy - except perhaps Sweet and Sour.

Mac n Cheese sounds worse than yuck.

I'm having White wine spritzer with added Vodka. Cos it's my birthday and I can.

Can we swap?
It seems like it's bring a rugrat to work day today, the little rude swines.

I need a drink.

Happy birthday BTW.

Yup. We had those at times .

We would also sometimes get a cup of hot oxo cube drink with a slice of plain white bread.


and tripe with vinegar and pepper, and cold black pudding
My Dad would eat dripping with a bit of bread. Even the thought of the smell makes me want to gag.

What's dripping cake?

We used to have dripping on toast, as you say with some of the jelly. I still regularly think fondly of it....

Dripping on a breadcake/bread roll/barm.
They sell beef dripping in Park n Shop but it hasn't got the jelly stuff.

I never fancied it on toast, I used to like it cold
