Making chicken feed of my mortgage

What a lovely morning

Today's plan:

- menu plan
- (very small) shopping list
- go grocery shopping with Mr MWC
- 70-mile round trip to the hairdressers
- pop into Waitrose for red dessert gooseberries (they have them online so hopefully they will have some in-store) and gin
- get some holiday photos printed
- make gooseberry gin
- clean the house from top to bottom now that the decorators have finished

Damn this forum for distracting me :rotfl:

I decided to stew up an old cooking apple this morning... now I have a burnt pan to clean :mad:

Hi there MWC

I'm all caught up on your diary now and really enjoyed the themes of chickens, decorating and delicious food woven into the money saving :j

The weather is lovely here too so I hope you have a good day (once you have conquered the yacky pan )

Regards
ATT

She has her good days and her not so good days Natty... I think she was a little distracted today as my hair is now very short :eek:

I strayed once before and she was kind enough to help me out in my hour of need 12 years ago (our wedding day). I vowed then never to stray again

Black pudding

Black pudding & peas
Chillies
Chilli peas
Chilli black pudding
Etc etc.

Served with couscous. I have a LOT of couscous. 6 (now 5.5) of THESE :rotfl:.

Chilli couscous
Chilli couscous with black pudding
Chillied sweetcorn surprise (it's actually peas )

Etc etc.

Is couscous the latest fad in healthy eating? Or is it black pudding

Eggs IN 4
Eggs OUT 0

Steak, puy lentil, chargrilled artichoke & spinach salad for dinner

I needed a 90-minute nap after dinner and then we went to the cinema this evening

I like the sound of your dinner (except the steak part;))

I am so hungry, and have realised that all the cereals in the house contain things I am trying to stay away from, and bread contains....well a whole lotta crap:cool: Fortunately I have a bag of kettle crisps, however fear this won't keep me going so will have to get showered and dressed to go sensible food shopping:o

Hope the film was good X

No, couscous was an Approved Foods special and I bought a load of black pudding when I saw our favourite

Morning Natty

We went to see The World's End - we enjoyed it and it was fun "location-spotting" as it was filmed near here

Crisps for breakfast :eek:

I'm feeling very tired/lazy this morning. We were planning to go for a walk today but I'm thinking of just recharging my batteries on the sofa instead

I'm currently online banking and looking for another MOP, Mr MWC is trying to switch our gas supplier and getting very annoyed...
