Firstly - the back; it is much better - just the odd twinge on standing from sitting and if I am not careful bending or twisting.
Secondly - the fridge magnets;
I was asked for some close-ups and I have put them
To match the one in the icon;

From my Mum;



Hers and His fridge magnets from WriterConUK a few years ago;

Also from a WriterConUK get-together;

Titanic - from a visit my sister and brother-in-law paid to the shipyard in Belfast;

Wombat my daughter brought me from Australia;




And a final picture, taken this morning to amuse you, of the contents of the fridge...

Yep - two plain yoghurts, two corner yoghurts, a small bowl of cooked rice, a small amount of cheese, a jar of goose-fat and a Co-op ready cooked mini beef-joint, which is my emergency food for putting with veg from the freezer, or making hot beef sandwiches... other than that it is really a bit like Mother Hubbard's cupboard!
You have to bear in mind that I was going to go shopping after work on Thursday, but didn't because of my back, and didn't do any shopping yesterday as S2C and I were going out for a meal - I really am going to go to Tescos in a few minutes, honestly.

Date: 27/04/2013 01:11 pm (UTC)I'm amazed at the space in your frig. Do you buy what you need each day whilst you are out and about? My frig is hopelessly crowded, except for when Les goes away. Then it holds only what is needed. Mind you, there are things we keep in the frig like coffee, jam and bread in Australia, in order to keep them fresh, which you probably wouldn't need to do on the Isle of Man, and which we Tasmanians don't need to do during the winter.

Date: 27/04/2013 01:44 pm (UTC)I do a big shop on a Saturday or Sunday - and I usually top up the fresh stuff mid-week as well - often on Thursday after work as Marks and Spencer are open late that evening So we had eaten everything by this morning because the last big shop was a week ago.
Sometimes, depending on what type, I do have open jars of jam or chutney in there, but I had actually finished the ones that had been there, too, by today. Bread lives in the bread-basket, and coffee in the cupboard - although my Mum keeps her bread in her fridge salad drawer.

Date: 27/04/2013 01:39 pm (UTC)I really do need to take a photo of mine, so you can compare. My food storage habits and, I suspect, shopping habits are much different! (Of course, part of that is because I have a teen daughter who would eat your entire fridge contents as an afternoon snack...)

Date: 27/04/2013 01:51 pm (UTC)They are actually two Isle of Man creamery packs of cheese - the blue one is ready sliced cheddar - my husband likes that for doing cheese on toast, and the small one is a 100gm pack of cheddar, too - I'd eaten the 100gm of oak-smoked and the 100gm of 'with peppercorns' cheese from the triple pack and only the plain cheddar remained.
I do love the idea that our cheese is in your shops, proudly wearing its Isle-of-Man livery to cross the Atlantic.
Perhaps I should go and take an 'after' picture now that I have been shopping. There is now a lot more meat, fruit, juice, vegetables, more cheese...
no subject
Date: 27/04/2013 01:56 pm (UTC)Yes, do take an "after"... my husband, on seeing your fridge, thinks that you must live on the edge of starvation!
Meanwhile, you've inspired me to clean out the fridge today... not sure if that's a good or bad thing! LOL

Date: 28/04/2013 12:37 pm (UTC)I an pretty sure there are strict rules laid down by the pharmaceutical companies association and the GMC (General Medical Council) for all prescribers (I really should know, as it was covered when I did my prescribing course). If I remember properly they are not allowed to entertain at a level beyond that which the person they are entertaining would normally provide for themselves. And they can only provide meals if there is also an educational input.
Hence the meetings for nursing staff, at our clinic, from reps whose products are widely prescribed by nurses, to update us on any changes, new products etc. - accompanied by a sandwich lunch.
I'm guessing they can take the private cosmetic surgeons to upmarket restaurants at lunch time and update them over the port...
