Poor Mr P is unwell, dreadful cold, I know he feels awful because he is actually taking tablets, which he so rarely does.

He has taken himself of to the sofa, which is a first for him at this time of day.
sad

In the fridge there is what is described as a "Spanish sharing platter" of 2 types of Chorizo, olives stuffed with pimento and Manchego cheese with chilli.

I sooo want to rip it open and eat it! I could easily eat the whole lot and bury the packaging in the bin blush

But that would make me a very bad phoenix !

Sorry to hear about Mr Psad but surely he feels too unwell to join you in your platter confusedwink

A nice glass of dry white would go down nicely with it too wink

kittylester Sat 19-Sept-15 17:10:12

I'm sure he wouldn't begrudge you as you are looking after him so well. I'm useless when dh is I'll - it really irritates me. blush

rosesarered Sat 19-Sept-15 17:10:34

Do it! He will never know.smile He can have a nice tin of soup.

ninathenana Sat 19-Sept-15 17:14:21

As your feeling so rough Mr P I didn't think you'd fancy any said with a winning smile

You deserve it phoenix

I have a bottle of Cava in the fridge, which would go well, being Spanish!

Problem is, would it spoil my appetite for supper, steak, salad and jacket potatoes?

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 19-Sept-15 17:22:48

It sounds warming. Probably just what HE needs. And yes, it would spoil your appetite.

I was going to cross that hashtag out. But then I thought, "it's only that phoenix)

kittylester Sat 19-Sept-15 17:26:22

Nah, it's only an appetiser! grin

Lona Sat 19-Sept-15 17:27:09

Now, phoenix why haven't you asked poor Mr P if he'd like to share it? You couldn't eat all that surely, before steak etc........ Could you?
hmm. wink

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 19-Sept-15 17:29:00

She's probably scoffed it by now. hmm

Mr P is a wonderfully stoical chap, never one to make a fuss, which is how I know that he must be feeling awful.

Unlike exdh, if I had a cold, he had flu, if I had a cough, he had bronchitis.

I think it was the bane of his life that he couldn't quite manage period pains!

NanKate Sat 19-Sept-15 17:33:17

Can I come round to your house your supper sounds fab and I love Cava?

Perhaps a few of us could come and have a game of cards afterwards. smile

kittylester Sat 19-Sept-15 17:33:47

Brilliant phoenix! grin

Anne58 Sat 19-Sept-15 17:40:01

You'd be more than welcome, Nankate!

As Mr P is away during the week, and doesn't always have "proper" meals, I do try to feed him well over the weekend.

Go for it.

I'm also on the couch, taking tablets & feeling miserable with a cold which had gone sad

I wouldn't thank you for those nibbles though. What I want is tomato soup and a pile of hot buttered toast. Mmmm.

jogginggirl Sat 19-Sept-15 17:44:21

That's not the same bottle of Cava from the beginning of the month is it phoenix ... wink

Anne58 Sat 19-Sept-15 17:52:57

Errrm no it's not blush

jogginggirl Sat 19-Sept-15 18:00:08

Ana Sat 19-Sept-15 18:08:03

I should hope not - it'd have gone off by now! grin

Anne58 Sat 19-Sept-15 18:38:17

Quite, Anà, and that would be wasteful!

Katek Sat 19-Sept-15 18:47:16

Heinz tomato soup, Baubles?

loopylou Sat 19-Sept-15 19:46:10

Go for it phoenix, it's your duty to ensure you are fit and healthy enough to care for poor ailing MrP hmm
Taking Cava for your medicinal purposes, to keep your strength up, doesn't count, does it?
I'm sure your DH would fully agree grin

I adore Heinz tomato soup......... with buttered sourdough toast envy just checked in cupboards, none to be found hmm

POGS Sat 19-Sept-15 20:01:21

I'd eat it.

You need to keep your strength up for the coming day or two running after Mr. P no doubt.

Anyway it's 8pm now have you demolished it? grin

Indinana Sat 19-Sept-15 20:05:29

I'm not going to stop you - I've just eaten two Tesco individual fruit trifles. Well they come in packs of 2, what was I supposed to do? blush
