    I'm even hopeful for a promotion and a career progression plan next year... although his boss is still an idiot, so I'm not counting my chickens!

    You must always count your chickens, or one may go missing without you knowing about it :rotfl:

    Mrs E is playing a lot of Harvest Moon at the minute (a farming simulator of sorts). It sounds like your life!

    Received a letter from N/wide today confirming that our big MOP at the start of the month has reduced the term of our further advance by 9 months :j

    Mr MWC also received a letter from the tax office :( They think he will earn £100,000 this year (I wish :rotfl:) and have adjusted his tax code downwards for the rest of the year.

  • It's the weekend :j

    The plan is:

    - housework this afternoon
    - do absolutely nothing tomorrow
    - grocery shopping, feed dads, review some reports for work on Sunday

    Mr MWC will be making piccalilli this weekend :T

    Sounds delish :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • It's one of our favourites Watty - an Anjum Anand recipe :)

    The chicken garden is a boggy mess after all the rain we've had recently so I took pity on The Girls and let them into my garden this afternoon. They were fairly well behaved... for chickens... :rotfl:

    I've had a lazy day (although not the "do absolutely nothing" day I had planned) :)

    1.5 bowls of Mr MWC's yummy scotch broth for dinner :drool:

  • A beautiful sunny morning :cool:

    I have some washing on the line - fingers crossed that the weak November sunshine will remove the turmeric stain from Mr MWC's new shirt :mad:

    TK's slow-cooked shoulder of lamb with boulangere potatoes for dinner

    Last night I decluttered the bathroom cupboard and today I will Project 333 my wardrobe for winter. I also need to find some orange thread and finish darning my favourite cardigan as rather annoyingly the hole is across 2 stripes...

    My dad has started decluttering his house (I hope he's not thinking about moving in with his ladyfriend :() so I'm expecting him to turn up later with a carful of stuff!
