    MWC the only chance you have of me not moving in is to tell me what RC stands for so I can track down the recipes myself :D.

    Mr GG gave me 1p to put in Peefer Pig yesterday so you're not the only one with an other half who's splashing the cash :rotfl:.

    Good morning GG

    RC = River Cottage

    The recipes are from the everyday and veg everyday cookbooks.

    I haven't actually seen Mr MWC's £1,000 yet :rotfl: and after telling me I could have it for the mortgage he started talking about Bose sound systems and new DVD players :eek:

    Actually, I'm not that good a cook. And Mr GG doesn't really like lentils :eek:, even Puy. So I think I'll move in anyway :D.

    A fairly lazy day today :D although we did walk into town this morning for chicken treats (black sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts, mealworms, wild bird seed, 1/2 price melon) and £30 of groceries for us.

    I did forget to buy the ingredients for chutney though :doh:

    Mr MWC has received more shares from his employer :T
    (fingers crossed they're worth something when they vest in 4 years time...)

    He still hasn't phoned HRMC though :mad:

    Gallygirl I'd go for it - think of the egg profit you could make.

    Loving the look of the girl MWC thanks for looking in on me too :)

    Can I ask the price of the eggs per half dozen - is that normal with you for super posh eggs, I only ask as its £1/half dozen up here. :eek:
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:
