The walls are starting to go up but fuck me it’s a slow process. One builder and he goes home at 3pm most days. He won’t come at all if it’s raining. It’s never going to finished by Christmas and Mrs Kurtz has planned a big lunch with the family. 

Should have got waterproof bricks.

I have no idea who Champ is, let alone that she’s off limits. Somebody should write a guide to all of this shit, it’s like navigating a fucking minefield. Anyway I will take on board your sage advice. Thanks 

Champ is the nicest, kindest person on TLW, you bastard.

His builder moonlights for SAGE and knew there was never going to be family Christmases all along.

 

PS You’re all too kind

It's not funny anymore. We haven't had a bathroom since July and have taken to spending one night a week in the Holiday Inn just so the kids can have a bath. I am never having any building work done in the middle of a global pandemic ever again. 

You only had to ask. Friend rates.

Too much?

Thai green curry tonight...

I'd quite happily get a civil partnership with you Col for that food.

Sainsbury’s have got San pelligrinos on sale. I’m trying to cut back on the wine so these are my new evening treat instead of a bottle of claret.

That’s a brilliant saving. I’ll be investigating our local Sainsbos

Anyway, I thought you got a set cheap at Lidl or Aldi?

Got a set at Costco but having lived with two different women who don’t understand knives since then I was thinking of treating myself with the divorce money.

Aldi do an own brand version of San Pellegrino that's 79p a litre, think they do orange, blood orange and lemon and mint. Only tried the orange one so far but to my unrefined taste buds it tastes identical. You need to drink it fairly quickly though as it goes flat fast after it's been opened. They don't do tins of it which seems a wasted opportunity 

[Remmie]

This is how it looks, it is easy to miss as it looks like it could just as easily be some type of rola cola skidder pop:

Not the sugar then if your drinking San Pelgrinno 

 

The effects of cutting sugar out of your diet for a few days is crazy. 

[Remmie]

San Pellegrino changed its recipe due to the sugar tax I think. 

 

Edit: They've replaced sugar with Stevia whatever that is

Stevie is just a shitty sweetener. 

They tell diabetics to use it instead. It's sweeter than sugar.

Well it’s the same colour as sugar I suppose. Costs a lot more though. 

I loved the stuff. But only get it now and again these days. Doesn't half spike my blood sugar so it's an occasional treat. 

 

Shame as its far nicer than most things, the sharpness was lovely in the summer

 

Comment was more off the cuff with the stimulants bit. Stopping sugar is a bastard, takes 28 days to leave your system and headaches and energy levels collspse

How does that affect diabetes?

Not using sugar makes you less likely to die if you're diabetic. 

[Lee909]

It doesn't. 

It contains diterpene glycoside( looked it up) they do not break down in digestion so it's just sweetens food without the body absorbing it. 

 

Like sweetcorn I guess 

[Remmie]

I always wonder though if these substitutes confuse the body though
