Pickled onions are a favourite with some pregnant women.

Mother buys rolled oats in winter. Sticks them in a pot and puts a mug of boiling water on top of them.
Puts it in warming oven of aga over night.
Hens love it. Like porridge basicly

Confused this morning when an envelope address to my late grandfather came in the post. Even more confused when I opened it and seen 'You're a winner!' inside it.
Turns out he had put some money in Prize Bonds, never told us and he's after winning some money. Bittersweet reminder!

Lucky for some:)

If it a reasonable ammount how about giving some of it to a charity in his memory or maybe some flowers for his grave.
Just a thought

A small amount, but enough to get some nice flowers for the grave and a couple of other bits in his memory around the place.
He was big into planting trees and we skelped a lot around the place over winter so perhaps an apple tree or something like that in the garden:)

Knew a woman left with small children after husband died, she was under money pressure and had a large win on prize bonds he had bought that she was unaware of, she said he was still looking after them all from beyond the grave.

Was reading about Karl Albretch, who passed away last week. (co-founder of Aldi) and read this snippet from The Guardian website.

"The brothers' strict eye on cost control extended to their graves. They bought their plots in a municipal cemetery on the outskirts of Essen in 1997. The site was left abandoned for many years and became so overgrown with weeds that the cemetery management wrote a letter of complaint, according to German news magazine Der Spiegel.

It did not exactly spur them into action, but eventually Aldi trucks turned up with Mediterranean rhododendrons and cypress trees. The brothers had, apparently, been waiting for the shrubs to go on offer in their stores."

I don't want to open a thread but I was paying water rates today and noticed that I am paying €1.50 per cubic metre. Irish water will be charging an estimated €2.875 per cubic metre.
At this rate I will be paying over €2000 per year for 80 bullocks!!
It is probably time to bore a well but to do that I would have to get an esb connection (the electric fence is plugged into a neighbours garage
