OK-ish - he was poorly again, on antibiotics again, wasn't eating and was losing weight so, given his medical history, the doctor sent him for blood tests to check for any underlying issues... none identified and he seems to be on the mend now :TMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I'm liking the combinations/recipes in my new book (bowls! by Molly Watson)
I had the "Northern Hunt" yesterday - wild rice, sliced smoked duck, borlotti beans, radicchio braised in a little HM chicken stock and drizzled with good balsamic vinegar, crumbled blue stilton (LO from Christmas) and sliced spring onions. It was really tasty :drool:
Today's dinner was "Kalefornia" - white beans sauteed with garlic & rosemary, shredded kale & savoy cabbage in a chilli & lime vinaigrette (kale from the garden), shredded LO roast chicken, sliced avocado and roasted peanuts :drool:
And tomorrow I'm planning to have "Sweet & Crunchy Salmon" - swiss chard & barley pilaf (chard from the garden), maple-glazed salmon (YS wild salmon), fennel & green apple salad (fennel from the unwanted veg box), chickpeas and pecans (except I'll have to substitute the pecans as I've just used the last few in a bircher muesli for breakfast tomorrow :doh:)
I've decided to give up chocolate & alcohol for lent. It'll be tough tomorrow as there is a particularly good box of chocolates in the office...
No financial news at all and 10 days until pay day BUT
I do have exciting egg news :rotfl: Two of my lazy chickens have each laid an egg on 2 consecutive days :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

One of our Pilates instructors has given up chocolate....... we're all hoping she's started again by tomorrow :eek:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0"Do what others won't early in life so you can do what others can't later in life"0 -

Maybe eat the rest? Just to be sure. Some yoghurt coated ones might have slipped in ?Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
