Since swmbo packed her bags a couple of weeks ago we, me and my two teenage sons, have been living on not fast but medium speed food! So today I thought I would cook a Sunday roast! Having never done one before it's been a steep learning curve. Chicken took about 1 hour longer than it said so potatoes peas and carrots were all ready miles too early. Forgot to warm the plates etc but all in all not toooo bad. Boys weren't over enthusiastic but their plates were clean as it had taken so long to do they were starving
 
Yes thank you Rubes...you remembered my name-thank you :D
Still a bit strange at the moment as we've been together 23 yrs :cry:
 
David I have been racking my brains for your name!! I remember meeting you at the midlands meet. And you having to get off and do some building work and talking about our cars! I am hopeless with names.

Sorry to hear about the other half leaving. At least you have the boys :thumbsup: chin up hope it works out buddy and it sounds like not to bad an effort. And don't worry to much most teenage boys (me included when I was one) will eat a scabby dog!!
 
Well done OP, Don't bother about the ex just enjoy your situation :thumbsup:
 
hey mate you will be ok hang on in there .my ex walked out after 25yrs marriage left me with my lads 17and 21 year old I started with sunday lunches I think we lived on them for quite a while, i think they got fed up in the end so mastered other stuff . Married again 4 yrs later what a life now :thumbsup:
 
Well done David, after 23 years that's got to be tough but it sounds like you're getting on with life. Good luck and keep cooking.
 
Sorry to hear what has happened David, but great effort for trying, im sure you will be fine very soon, making all sorts of things for you and the children, chin up things will get easier. Any help for cooking just ask, im sure any of us here will help with a few pointers if you get stuck.
 
Nice one David, tough times but you're obviously carrying on carrying on :thumbsup:

I haven't cooked anything other than pasta in years... If Mrs B left me I think WB and I would starve :lol:
 
Aw thanks guys and gals for the good wishes. I'm actually enjoying food shopping and trying to bag any bargains. A new Aldi has opened by us and I seem to be in there most nights as I'm not fantastic at doing big shops..just stick to a basket full. Nice doing 'man' shops ie chocolate biscuits and pasta snacks :P suppose it'll sink in eventually but at least she didn't take the Zed :rofl:

Where is the new Aldi? Nearest one to me is Bridgnorth but that one might be now.
Madeley where the old court centre running track used to be. KFC there as well!
 
It's funny walking around food shopping you feel like you must have a big sign above you reading 'SINGLE - BILLY NO MATES'

To be honest, it depends entirely on what's in your basket - ready meals and beers give it away. Chuck in some fresh fruit and veg, bury the 'Stab-its' underneath :lol:

Sorry to hear about your situation, hopefully everyone will be happier in the long run.

Online shopping is the way to go. We plan out the meals we're going to eat during the week and then we don't waste any food. Cheaper too!
