Had my annual health check done just waiting on the results.

Stocked up on Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney Pudding 200g tins. Individual meals microwaveable and at a pinch boil in the tin. Done in 90 seconds makes a quick meal.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Where are you finding the tinned puddings please. I can only find the microwavable ones and still unhappy that I can no longer find tinned sponge puddings and only the microwavable ones of those too.
Growing old disgracefully!

Cheap and a back up to the wind up one I already have :mrgreen:
We’ve got one, they’re currently on Amazon at £13.89 we were pleasantly surprised, it’s kept together
with a 20ft long wire with a small crocodile clip on one end to extend the aerial should a we need
too pull in faint signals. Pocket size and good for a BOB.
You can also use a Slinky..... They turn up in charity shops and ebay for under a tenner

Sorry, They are the microwaveable ones you mentioned. It comes under the "tinned" description in the websites. :roll:

Been a while since I’ve visited, due to most of my garden grown Veg being attacked by slugs and snails I’m starting a go at hydroponics, got my two DWC buckets set up and have done a trial run with just water but no nutrients etc, have got the tent, grow light and extraction. Been busy with work so happy to have it finally set up.
