Gone to fishy heaven

Created: 13 December 2008

No, this isn't a story about me getting a free meal at West Beach or Fishworks , it is about my little red and white goldfish meeting his maker.

Fishy wishy
I say meet his maker, it was more of a case of a scoop, bash on the head and into the bin. Still, 18 months and this is the first loss in the pond is pretty good going for someone like me.

That big koi is not looking great neither. I really don't know how I am going to get that one out when its time comes. A pair of marigolds and some Dutch courage may be in order.

Credit Crunch? Credit Munch more like.

ImageHaving been lured into Aldi by their 39p advertising I began on the carrots, sprouts and lemons for 39p a pack. Who else gets annoyed at Tesco charging 30p for one lemon whilst Aldi can do it for 39p for a bag of 5?

Having been a fan of Lidl for a while and their European meat selection I thought Aldi had even better stuff available.

My downfall came in the frozen foods section. Bloody marketing. Actually I was very satisfied with my box of langoustines, huge scallops, duck legs in orange source, duck legs in plum source, lamb shanks and beef ribs in red wine. All very gourmet it seems. Should make for a tasty Christmas. Anyway, I hate Christmas so some yummy food and nice wine will take the edge off!

£50 I spent. What credit crunch, more like credit munch!

Little bro is 20 today. No more nappies and stuff.

Just hitting a different kind of bottle. Cider mainly.

Happy birthday from me and Angela. Can't afford a card, don't you know there is a credit crunch.

Age Concern indeed...

Created: 08 December 2008

Not sure if getting to 40 has meant that my details have been flagged up in some mailing lists as being old.

Been receiving mailings from Age Concern. Ha ha, very funny. I think I might have had some Saga stuff as well.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
