    Not quite - from a closely related herb. I buy them in the local Indian foodstore.

    My dad's ladyfriend was all over Mr MWC today - he was not happy (Mr MWC not my dad - he's oblivious...)

    No carful of stuff but I have promised to visit my dad later in the month and sort through some things.

    The stain on Mr MWC's shirt has faded and is barely visible and the wardrobe has been decluttered. The summer clothes are packed away and there is a bag of clothes ready to go to a charity shop :T

    Makes you wonder what she gets up too with other folk where it's less likely to get back to your dad, what a strange woman:eek: I know I said I was a dirty ould woman earlier but by goodness I feel saintly by comparison:rotfl::rotfl:

  • I think it's only Mr MWC that she finds irresistible she doesn't go near FIL :rotfl:

    I've taken pity on Mr MWC and ironed him a shirt for tomorrow :A (first time this year!) whilst he is prepping the vegetables for his piccalilli

    Well they are rather good looking :rotfl:
    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 !!

    Very quiet here today apart from a donation to DEC- still 17 days to payday...

    Leftover scotch broth for dinner :)

  • MWC - I forgot to pop by and mention that a certain television nature presenter was on Desert Island Discs recently :happyhear Was a good listen (although it confirmed that he is a bit of a fruitcake). Did you hear it?
