Veg Soup – Waste not want not
How's your January going? Fear not, pay day is just the 96 days away. (It certainly feels like it) One way to save a few quid and also use up leftover veg is to make soup. This used to scare me for some reason, although watching the other half make it last week showed me just how straight forward … [Read more...] about Veg Soup – Waste not want not
Last minute shopping?
So, we're almost on the final approach to Christmas. You ready? Some of us (like me) have pretty much got it all sorted. Chaps, you've got a week to chill out before you should even think about the shopping.

Christmas Jumper Day
Yep, we don't mind wearing something festive if it means that we get the chance to raise some money for a good cause. Now I don't normally need an excuse to wear something hideous (it's a look I carry off well) but it's nice to see my colleagues Tom and Mark rocking the look too. (That's yours truly … [Read more...] about Christmas Jumper Day

So, how was your Black Friday?

"I'm stuck. I'm in dire need of some stuff. If I place the order now, how quickly can you deliver?" I reckon we're asked this at least 10 times a day. If this sounds like you and you're up against it, here's what you need to know. Our most popular delivery class is our Standard Uk Courier … [Read more...] about “Good morning, Cater For You..”
Eco-friendly sauce pot?
I'll be honest, I couldn't hide my glee when these samples arrived in the post. What are they? Biodegradable Bagasse Deli pots and matching lids. (Honestly, it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) We're giving these pots some serious thought, as it ticks more than 1 box and we've been … [Read more...] about Eco-friendly sauce pot?
It’s in the bag
My hard work in the garden this year is starting to pay off. One of my (sort of) success stories are these potatoes. I grew them in potato bags - at one point they were in danger of blocking my way out of the house every day. Finally, the foliage started to die back, so I took the plunge and had a … [Read more...] about It’s in the bag
