    Today I have mainly been eating!!!

    Yummy lunch of fried padron chillies sprinkled with salt, a sandwich made with Mr MWC's bread, pastrami, pickled cucumber & mustard, and some black olives

    Equally yummy dinner of roast chicken, baked potato, corn-on-the-cob, HM coleslaw and barbecue baked beans

    Oh and I've done some housework!

    If I come can I rub my hand up Mr MWC's leg ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
