    The Girls are going to need webbed feet soon :eek:

    :wave:
    Indeed, ours are perching a lot on their branch just to give their feet a dry spot, I think! One of our dogs has webbed paws & she's the only one who seems to be truly happy up and down the garden in this weather!

    :T Congrats on your January totals MWC - am taking inspiration from your walking and weight loss totals, very impressive, I'm afraid I ended up with NattyPants approach to that side of things in Jan, must do better for Feb!

    And that MOP total - great to get that total below a big round number, well done to you!

    Finally, very glad to see no chicken on the freezer list!

    There is sometimes Hbbb... but it is always free-range or organic - I won't eat chicken that isn't

    Oops I forgot my MFW news :rotfl:

    £1,163 MOP'd, total mortgage debt is now under £125,000 :j

    Now why do you have to go and spoil your diary by talking about mortgage stuff??? It's been weeks since you last uploaded any housie photographs...
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D

    Sorry natty - you've seen all the rooms and I'm not decorating again until I'm mortgage-free!

    I will share a link to my favourite housie stuff shop in Germany though... and guess where I'm going tomorrow on a business trip... and guess who might have an hour-or-so free on Monday morning... :D:D:D

    At the airport far too early so now I'm trying to avoid spending any of my own money!!! I need today to be a NSD so that I can spend Mr MWC's euros in the housie shop tomorrow :D

    Thanks KC although I would rather be at home enjoying the nice weather! Never mind I should get to my destination early enough to walk around the old city in daylight :)

    Mr MWC reports:
    Eggs IN 3 (including Miss Beryl's first little cream-coloured egg of the year :T)
    Eggs OUT 2 (scrambled for his lunch)

    I'm claiming a NSD as all spending was on the company CC and 4.5 miles walked :D
