    "money comes to money" certainly is true for us now but that hasn't always been the case

    I was naughty today. As well as re-using a jiffy envelope from the RM survey, I re-used a £3 stamp that hadn't been franked :o I did, however, spend £9.90 posting some tablet to my friend in USA :eek:

    We were both late home tonight so HM bolognese sauce from the freezer with pappardelle for dinner and a bottle of red wine

    Still no idea how many people we are cooking for on Christmas day :mad: Mr MWC says he will phone his sister tomorrow...

    I checked my turkey order - only 3.5-5kg - so we may need to make a lot of side dishes!

    My brother is sending me a 20% discount voucher for the ferry :T

    Xmas day in jim jams sounds lovely! :D

    No need to panic re: cards - still plenty of time to send them (though possibly not if you mean for overseas).
    You will get them done ;)
