When clearing out the cold box early this morning before leaving for work, I found four spoiled containers of take-away curry. If you're going to order take-away, please check for leftovers, first.
(We really must stop ordering take-away so often. Have you seen the latest Gringotts statement?)

But I suppose if you're not going to use them I could start. I'll just have to take a proper break to eat. Which means getting home even later. Which probably means more takeaway, unless you're willing to cook when you get home.
Why can't we just make sure that we use up the leftover cartons by no later than Thursday each week?

I know, I know. You're getting sick of scrambled eggs and beans on toast, and so am I.

I'm not your mothIt's just as wasteful, it its way.
