Funeral arranged, February the 4th. Going to be a long wait until then but I've got to start getting a bit more back to normal again although my normals changed.

I'll be trying to go back to work Monday, but I'll almost certainly not go to work the same week as the funeral. I'm taking the piss a bit with my bosses since I've been off a week already, but they've been super chill and keep checking up on how I'm doing and everything so it's not so bad. They seem to understand super well when it's personal stuff but not with work stuff for whatever reason.

You’ve suffered a bereavement - take the time you need, don’t rush back to work. They’ll understand completely.

As an aside I’m really sorry to hear of what’s happened. Hope you’re doing as well as you can.

I mentioned to my boss about me going back Monday. The issue is I'm just sat at home not wanting to do anything anyway. I guess I'm more comfortable at home, but I think at least now if I go back to work during the weeks before the funeral I'll take my mind of things a bit then the week after the funeral It'll properly hit me I would imagine.

The 4th of February? Isn't that really long. Here in Northern Ireland if someone passes away their funeral is usually in 2 or 3 days after the passing.

It was when we could get into the crematorium. Also her brothers live far away so we wanted to give them enough time in advance so they could get here.

Has anyone ever cooked a frozen Quorn pie before? Are you supposed to keep it in the foil tray or take it out, because the box doesn’t say. Many years ago I took a pie out of one of those trays once and it collapsed in on itself. :fp:

If it's foil I'd imagine it's to stay in.

you throw the pie away and eat the foil. the pie is just to keep the foil in shape.

This is true. And the foil is probably far more nutritious.

He does see it, but he's not sure what to do with it.

Well that didn’t work out overly well. Cooked in the foil container for the 40 minutes, gas mark 6 as specified. Looked very appetising but SOGGY BOTTOM. In fact the bottom was raw. So I took it out of the foil and gave it another 20 minutes. By this point the puff pastry lid had partially popped off and the contents were like a creamy Krakatoa. Needless to say I gave up and just decided to eat it anyway. A not overly pleasant sauce with rather sponge-like chicken cubes. I rather like Quorn’s hot and spicy not chicken burgers, but this was sweaty arseholes.

I think this is the first and last time I’ve ever eaten a frozen pie.

Frozen pies are always gooseberry fool I find.

I’ve had some success by putting them upside down for the last 10 minutes of cooking, or using a pizza tray with holes, but for the most part the pastry never cooks right and I now just don’t buy them.

If he sees it, we get six more weeks of pies.

I honestly think there's something wrong with me. The last week or so I keep writing random words into sentences that make no sense. I can't see imagine 'used' would get autocorrected to 'see' so it must be me.

I do it all the time, it’s nothing to worry about.

Just looking through old pictures and found loads with me as a kid with Mum. She looked so happy in all of them that it made me cry. I've been trying to cry the last 4 days and been unable to so I'm glad it helped.

In all seriousness I've been paying attention to the amount of mistakes I make in emails at work and it's shocking. I'm writing random words in replacement for others that make no sense to the sentence. I'm also forgetting to pluralise nouns a lot. Some of them read like English is my second language and I don't have a full grasp on it.

If you're genuinely concerned - particularly if you've been forgetful recently as well - have a chat with a doctor. There are things like vitamin deficiencies that can cause that kind of absent-mindedness.
