Another Good Week

Spent another happy two hours in Tesco World this week.  Most of our time was trying to decipher the fat content of the products.  A cake was a good example of creative selling, 39grms of fat on the label.  Then– in the small print -  this is for one eighth of the cake.  That works out at 312 grms of fat in total, that’s nearly five days worth of fat if you go by the recommended daily average.     Then other products are measured by per slice, others by per 100 grams.  Then there are saturated fats, unsaturated fats.  In the end I was so fed up I ate the bloody cake.

 

I had a quick look along the Cat food aisle – why I don’t know  - I haven’t got a cat unless you count Ernie.  Such exotic concoctions.  I can’t believe any cat would eat salmon and rabbit in the wild or pheasant and tuna.  Why don’t they make mouse flavoured cat food?

 

 

Wrote to my MP about a scrap paint collection point for Norwich.   What a boring old fart I have become there is so much in life to be enjoyed and I am spending my time counting calories and worrying about scrap paint.   Anyway got a reply from my MP who has written to the council so maybe we will get a scrap paint facility in Norwich.

 

Ate a healthy fruit and grain bar and broke my tooth.  Great!

I survived an earthquake and hurricane force winds and break a tooth in my kitchen.

 

Put in a claim against the Royal Mail.  I bought some stuff on E-bay and it arrived in

pieces.  Great!

 

Bought a new kettle to replace our old one.  Got kettle home, filled kettle with water,  switched kettle on, kettle didn’t work.   Took kettle back.  Great!

# re: Another Good Week

Another funny blog. You didn't buy that kettle in Tesco did you? I only ask because we bought a clock radio from there last year, took it home, plugged it in, set up the time after about three hours spent working out how to set alarm, next morning - no alarm and it had lost eight minutes in the first night. Took it back, complained, got blank-faced zero reaction from customer "service" woman and got money back. Note to self- don't buy electrical items from Tesco!
