Aw hello sweetie, don't let those big girls bully you.

Yesterday's egg update:

We went to a family halloween party yesterday evening. The apple bobbing/dooking was particularly good fun
A beautiful morning here, a bit chilly but I have 2 loads of washing flapping on the line Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Morning MWC, I only said this morning we can get the washing on the line as it's a lovely drying day :rotfl: You definitely know you're grown up when you have these thoughts.
As the TD is so expensive, it's great to be able to use the line when you can.
Have a good day - I've never heard of dooking before

Eggs IN 2
Eggs OUT 4 (2 in a cake for my great aunt, 2 in the moussaka Mr MWC is cooking for dinner)
My great aunt was very pleased to see us (we really must go more often) and she likes the new phone Apart from her hearing, she really is in very good health for her age (100) and still very independent (lives on her own and goes out every day) :T
Looking forward to the moussaka - not sure that I'll be able to leave it to cool for 30 minutes before eating...:rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I've calculated that I need to OP £1,126.49 in order to start the New Year at £134,999.99 so I will need to rein in my spending in the run up to Christmas.
That would be a mortgage reduction of £30,000 in 2013 as I started the year at £164,999.99 :j
