Takes too much time to do that when you're working. Come next year will be cooking for myself though, I won't be able to afford to eat out then.Here's a radical suggestion... Switch the cooker on and COOK something yourself!

Not really mate, if eating healthily matters to you enough and you're organised. How does Del manage to cook the meals she does for me, hold down a rather demanding full-time job as a lecturer, and (partly) look after the garden and also have an active social life?
In any case, I thought you were working from home now, so you've got all bloody day to cook something, if you manage your time properly!

You must be joking, got so much on I don't know where to start.Not really mate, if eating healthily matters to you and you're organised.

Anyway eating healthy has never been a consideration. I just have what I fancy. Got a curry on its way right now, Lamb Kashmiri

Lol - not true, especially recently! Pre-Covid, we ate out, max twice a week, usually only once and sometimes none. Now, we've hardly been out at all, because it's a bit shit round here until things start to get more back to normalStrictly speaking, the sandwich shop is 'out there', the cooker is 'in here'

About a five minute round trip, I can do a bacon sarnie quicker.
