  • More admin work completed today - my next claim is going to look very healthy :T
    • joined some of the mums for a 'start of term' breakfast at the local caf!. It's usually an 'end of term' breakfast but they're upping the ante :rotfl:£5.85
    • reconciled the bank accounts - all as expected :)
    • Vegetable Ragu from the meal plan for supper
    Lovely Waitr0$£ came through for me today. I'd ordered 450g of frozen berries which were substituted for 300g of summer fruits. I was happy with the substitution but just didn't get enough (the fruit is for the trifle I'm contributing to Across-the-lane-neighbour's dinner party tomorrow). A second pack of summer fruits was delivered today :D They were in the area and dropped it in and they didn't charge me for them :D

    Hooray for great service!

    It would have stood out a bit on the dfw board, sort of :rotfl: I'm chuffed for you that you're here!

  • I've been a bit lazy the last couple of days so not much to report:
    • Step class this morning
    • a little admin work
    • made this to take to dinner at Across-the-lane-neighbours tonight. I left the sherry out of the cream but added some home-made Crème de Mures to the cake. I'll take a bottle of white from the rack and Mr F can either take a red or some beers
    • called Laithwait£$ to cancel our Premier membership. It's gone up to £40 a year and, although that gives us 2 free bottles of wine with each order, we're not ordering enough now to make any savings.
    Right, off to make myself beautiful - Mr F would say "We haven't got enough time for that" :rotfl:
