Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Mrs_Money_Penny

Really jealous of you going to San Francisco I went 2 years ago. Loved it and want to go back. Must say though we went inAugust and it was cold brought a fleece. The bridge was covered by mist. I brought a fridge magnet which says the coldest winter I ever spent was. Summer in San Francisco.:rotfl:

Eggs IN 5
Eggs OUT 13 (1 box each for FIL & SIL + 1 yolk)

Butternut squash soup with ricotta & sage dumplings and sourdough bread for dinner - will get Mr MWC to make this again

We're watching Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives this evening... bit too weird for me but persevering and hoping that a large glass of wine will help :rotfl:

Good Morning MCW, B&G, LRH et al.

I was very :eek: earlier on when I read about potentially nasty neighbour...I knew it wouldn't have been OUR chooks who were in bother though as they take after their mummy's in terms of decorum

Hope the decorator's quote returns at a fairly reasonable price. I must say that although I've never paid for a decorator in the past, going forward I think I would at least get quotes (although would of course have to weigh up against the cost of the F&B paint!!!)

Train into London wasn't as straight forward as normal due to engineering works - happens to me everytime :mad:

We met up with my brother and his girlfriend and went to the David Bowie exhibition at the V&A :cool: followed by a late lunch in a Mexican restaurant :T

I've had a lovely day sightseeing in SF
Although I was "mugged" by the Lancome lady in Macy's... I'm a sucker for a face massage and a makeover... I spent $439 :eek:

When we were in Madeira we went to a little coastal village called Camara de Lobos (Cavern of the Sea Lions). When the Portuguese discovered the island the bay was full of Sea Lions so... they ate them all! No Sea Lions there now either.

My garden has changed so much in just 5 days - the delphiniums, loosestrife, penstemon, canna, tomatoes, courgettes and runner beans are now flowering and everything else has grown by 6 inches :cool:
