3-root boulangere (potato/celeriac/parsnip) with big baked mushrooms for dinner
We went for a walk this evening - I've set myself a challenge to go for a walk every day in December

I've just splurged at Morrisons - raspberries, cherries, a pomelo, persimmon and these...

Aren't they lovely?
:D:D
Now I have to hide them so I don't eat them all before Christmas :rotfl:

I have a moral dilemma...
I've received a charity appeal letter as part the the RM survey. I don't particularly want to donate to this charity and I have donated over £150 in the past month to charities that I do support.
The letter contains 12p as a visual prompt. Is it wrong of me to put the 12p in my money box and throw the letter in the recycling bin?Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Hi MWC
I don't think I can comment on whether it's right or wrong but I have a suggestion as an alternative course of action....what about sending the 12p back to them using a stamp from the RM freebies? That way it's not costing you or the charity anything.
Btw I love those choccie coins - they are fabulous :T0 -

Hi MWC
So sorry to hear about Miss Q...

Managed to cut down the meat last night - but there was still some in there.:o
Lovely dinner menu with the neighbours. We ate with our neighbours at the weekend too...
Beetroot Soup
Lamb Goulash
Slow Roast Duck with Duck & Cream Sauce

Our neighbour cooked far too much food...but it was all really delicious.

Hi MCI - thanks for popping by

We're having meat for dinner today - 1.5 sausages each with leftover 3-root boulangere.
We've received a letter from N/wide confirming our last MOP - the term of our further advance has reduced by 7 years in total :T
