    Mr MWC's birthday lunch was fabulous albeit a little pricey :)

    We tried to book next year's holiday - a tour of Vietnam :cool: - but there are no dates for 2015 available yet :(

    >17,500 steps so far today :T
    Calories consumed is probably at a similar number :o

    Belated happy birthday to Mr MWC :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I've just been to collect my car (it was in the garage for a service & MOT yesterday) - no problems so it cost considerably less than yesterday's lunch :T
