A spendy day today - I don't want to add up the receipts... I did take a lot of last week's clothes back but replaced them with others, also have a few items on order
Mr MWC has bought me a beautiful stripey cashmere cardigan from JL, a shirt and a pair of shoes (early Christmas presents) otherwise I would have spent more than I did!
1 egg today. Miss F has had a bit of a relapse today so is back in the hospital wing (conservatory)
Mr MWC cooked a delicious dinner - slow-roasted shoulder of lamb with merguez spices, bubble & squeak and roast squash
Only 1 dad today (FIL) and he paid me for the replacement rug (£30)Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I've had a truly rubbish day
Left home at 06:45 to drive to London for a 2-day conference... arrived at 09:10... 2 hours & 25 minutes to drive less than 50 miles :mad:
By mid-morning I realised that the conference was not what I thought it would be and was instead a complete waste of my time... I did a runner after lunch and I won't be going back tomorrowLuckily, the conference hadn't cost me (or work) anything
And I have a stonking headache
There is some good news... it only took me an hour to drive home!
And Miss F is a bit brighter again this evening and 1 egg from Miss B todayMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Thank you all
today was a much better day well until 16:37 when work went a bit manic...! I still need to answer a query from the VP but as he is US-based I still have a couple of hours left.
Leftovers from the weekend for dinner

Is there something you'd be buying anyway from Amazon (Christmas presents maybe)? If not then cash and put it to good use instead of spending!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0
