Evening both. 
Raining here most of the day, so nothing done outside. Cold and windy as well.
Went into town to do my Lidl shop. £25 and that included some potting compost (not John Innes 
) and a bottle of wine to boot. 
It was bitter walking the streets though. 
Hicky. Glad your chip maker came. A fan of regularly shaped chips obviously? 
Can you make them in the wok?
That's good that you've got an eye appointment quickly.
Thinking about it, I think Grandpa only used the gloves when he was cutting stuff up, including green chillies, so that was probably the reason.
Mollie. That's good that you've got the visit to the Day Centre over with, even though it was very emotional for you. Nice that they said you'd done such a good job for your Mum.
I was actually a bit shocked with the amount of oil that I'd used whilst we had all the snow and sub zero temps. I was hoping it would last till the Autumn, but might not now. And also the price has gone up a lot since i last bought in January, so that's a bit worrying. I'll need to keep a close eye on the level in the tank, and on the prices.
That is a great choice of TV box. It'll just connect up to your Sky dish with no problem and give you all the free channels. And it's a very reliable make.
You'll have to get your son (or OH) to play about with 'non-Freesat mode', as you can get a lot more channels in that mode, especially HD ones, but it takes a bit of organising.
But it's easy to switch from Freesat to non-Freesat modes in the menu, and Freesat mode is easier to record from and stays organized itself without any need to mess around, so perhaps better for you. 
Watched Location then 'Not Going Out' and 'Still Game' on BBC1.
