Oh dear, I used a draining spoon the other day, mine ended up all over the kitchen floor.
I bet you don't finish peoples conversations, like me though.

How can I stop this????
Do I need therapy or wine?
What is the point of stressing though? You need to relax as you get older.....less haste more speed

I do with my mother in law, she's knocking on a bit and struggles to remember some words. Quite sad really because I know I'm getting the same

True very true. I used to teach relaxation techniques, I need to practice what I preach.

Re: Patience

Stress is bad for you ... it eats away inside and undermines your health.
Far better to invest in a punch bag or select a handy human sacrifice.
Patience? Bah. I have none anymore.

It was the last few in the packet too

I could really have rescued some of them but I'd bleached the sink earlier so thought maybe not......

Your peas down the sink made me laugh too Nicol. I strain water out with the lid when doing potatoes, and on the odd occasion I've lost some. Bugga innit

But, I'm curious peas in a packet? My peas are in a tin.
Ah, I might've just tuned in, maybe yours are frozen.
