During my lunch hour, I ventured to Boots, as the charitable Conquer O'Keeffe had bestowed me with a €7.50 Boots voucher, redeemable against any "No. 7" male grooming product. He had obtained this via a €7.50 purchase at Boots, so I approached the counter with goods plus my acquired voucher, and the bill came to €7.59, entitling me to yet another €7.50 voucher, and sending me around the store to use it and make further purchases. I returned to check-out with goods plus my additionally acquired voucher, and the bill came to €9.48, entitling me to yet another €7.50 voucher! Pure hilarity ensued for a further two check-out visitations, and I exited joyously with 6 months' worth of toothpaste, razor-blades, shampoo, hair gel and luxuriant-yet-highly-discounted male grooming products.
To obtain life-saving victuals, I paid visit to the SuperValu emporium for a magnificent €3 hot spicy chicken baguette with coleslaw and peppers (plus free can of Coke), ingredients for my evening culinary triumph, and a six-pack of Cadbury's Crunchie ice-creams (featuring exploding candy kernels) for my beloved work colleagues , including the phlegmatic Lady Amaia, to whom I suggested that the kernels may explode her cough away. This prospect alarmed her deeply, prompting her to thrust her ice-cream into the nearby kitchenette freezer.
An afternoon of considerable toil dispensed with, I ambled homeward to Eastern Wall, and commenced upon my new culinary triumph - FireHouse Beef A La King (pictured). I won't lie to you - it tasted absolutely sensational, so luckily I made 3 giant portions of it - all for myself, naturally.
