Eating tablet is hardly conducive to losing weight!

BTW - I'll post it this afternoon (in a recycled 2nd class envelope though so it may take a few days!)

Hi MWC and Happy New Year!

Just caught up properly with your diary.

I agree that the hampers looked gorgeous - a credit to all the hard work you put in.

I must admit that when you guys were talking about the Archers - my first thought was peach schnapps and then I realised it was the radio programme.

Good luck with all your OPs for this year.

All the best.

I'm having another lazy day although I really should log in and check my work e-mails... maybe later!

I've finally enquired about joining my local WI - one of my 2013 resolutions!!!

Not much money news - today will be a NSD, I found 6p roadkill yesterday and we are still waiting for the $12,000 cheque from the sale of Mr MWC's shares.

The interest rate on my current account will drop to 1% on 9 March (and on our joint account in April) so I need to decide what to do with that money. I should get a bonus in my March salary as well so I will probably fill another ISA in April and OP the rest.

This is something I have wanted to do for a while but been a bit nervous about going along:o I would be interested to hear about it when you have been to your first meeting.

Will do XSpender - first meeting is on 14 January

Look forward to hearing about the WI. I saw a local one went on a day trip I really fancied....and wondered if I was too young to join!

I go to the WI At 40 something (ahem!) I'm one of the youngest there at our group, and certainly the youngest committee member. I first went along when I was just 36

I am 40 something too but a full time working mum to a 3 year old and wonder if I would fit in. None of my friends would be interested in going so it is good to hear other peoples experiences.:)
