aaaaaah ordered indian with friends. Only: they didn't bring my order! So I've been waiting here for the subsequent hour for my stuff to come (being veggie didn't help here).
Veggie commiserations increpatio.  I had a Sainsbury's Indian straight from freezer to hob - and very nice it was too. Mushroom pilau rice with their veggie curry. |

Veggie commiserations increpatio. Well your non-veggie friends could have shoved a bit of their rice in your direction inky? The price of take aways astounds me, which is why I never have them. |

Do they deliver indian food? I did not even know they have veggie on menue.
1. THey may still bring it.
2. You can call and remind them.
May be they will give it to you for free (In the USA they promised to give you pizza free if they deliver it over 30 min).
Oh, there's LOADS of indian vegetarian food; my veggieness worked against me because I couldn't dip into my friend's foods while I waited. :| Came in the end, and was tasty. |

Grump grump  It's been ages since I could hang my washing out. I hate using the drier. I hang as much as I can in the garage on maidens and I have some on the radiators but the big stuff - bedding and towels has to go in the drier. I try to conserve power when I can but this weather makes it very difficult. |

I hardly ever use the drier either. I have an indoor washing line in the utility room, and otherwise I put things, even big things, on radiators. It looks messy but it works! Towels tend to go hard treated like this, so if I want them fluffy they go in the drier, but if they are just for me I don't care. I can't quite believe I'm discussing washing . |

There is hardly a more scintillating discussion than one on laundry! Actually it's just struck me! What do you mean patient Mabeljane? I must be one of the most impatient, intolerant people on this planet. Certainly in my own estimation anyway. How on earth have you arrived at that conclusion?  |

Tee hee Milly! Perhaps I should have written Patience... http://math.boisestate.edu/gas/patience/webop/pat01.htmlI always think of them when I see the word "maidens". I was one 27 years ago - but not this production! |

My fridge-freezer is on the blink again  Well, I say "again". It's the first time THIS one has gone wrong. THIS one was an under-warranty replacement for one that I bought only 14 months ago, and which seized up and stopped refrigerating only a few months later. THIS one is still working but its motor is making a noise rather like that of Concorde taking off (OK that's a gross exaggeration, but you get my meaning). My flat's open-plan, so that's not possible to ignore. I've got an engineer coming out on Wednesday, but I think I might have to switch it off in the meantime as it's driving me nuts, and I'm worried it might be a fire risk. With any luck I might be able to knock on some neighbours' doors and ask for the loan of some freezer space, as the freezer's packed solid with goodies. It's not the monetary value of them, it's the time I've invested in cooking up batches of parsnip soup, red pepper soup, bacon and sweetcorn chowder, bacon & leek pasta, and that lovely veggie moussaka from MabelJane's recipe. Oh, and there's more. I can't find the proof of purchase. I've phoned up John Lewis about it, but they won't be able to send a copy out in time, so I'm going to have to go up there after work and beg them to give me a copy in person And if they need to give me a new fridge-freezer, I'll need to disassemble my opera programme shelves from the hallway again, or they won't be able to get things in and out |

I always thought things bought from John Lewis were solid and reliable! Poor you - no fridge freezer, no Andreas Scholl, no Anna Netrebko. What a life.
My current cheapie fridge freezer, bought from Comet, I think, went wrong once because two parts had been put in each other's places, if you get me. It was sorted out and NOW it's OK, touch wood etc. I sometimes wish we weren't so dependent on electrical things.

When you put it like that I don't know whether to laugh or cry  Netrebko's understudy was really good. And I'm not devastated about the Scholl concert - sometimes, living in London and going to the number of performances I do, I remember that if the concerts weren't there, I wouldn't miss them. If London had only half the opera and concert performances it does, I'd still have plenty to keep me busy - and indeed I'd prefer it, as my schedule wouldn't end up so overcrowded. I'm going to hear Scholl at the RFH in June, so the lack of him at the Barbican tonight is disappointing but not devastating  (Did I mention I got to kiss him once? ) |
