    Don't forget temperature GG and NP ;)

    Miss B had just laid when I went out to feed them this morning so I had a warm, white, egg-shaped egg :D

    No more eggs today

    Today I have:

    - drunk water instead of coffee
    - eaten healthily
    - walked briskly for 45 minutes
    - spent money but only on petrol

    A yummy egg-based dinner - huevos rancheros - tonight :drool:

    We received a dividend cheque for £281.16 today :j
    I'll try not to lose the cheque before I've paid it into the B/S this time!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Yippee it's the weekend :j

    Today I have:

    - spent no money (NSD No. 2 for January)
    - sold 1 box of eggs for £1.25 :j and upset a colleague because I didn't sell them to him!
    - drunk water instead of coffee
    - eaten healthily
    - walked briskly for 60 minutes

    Two eggs again today (from the usual suspects ;))

    I changed into my PJs when I got from work at 4 and I've had a lovely lazy evening :D

    An easy dinner of pasta with HM tomato sauce from the freezer (the sauce that we slow-cooked pork ribs in last month with a little leftover pork in) :drool:

    I've applied for my great-aunt's 100th birthday message from The Queen this evening. She's amazing - lives alone, dyes her hair, paints her nails :T I hope that I've inherited her genes and not the rubbish breast cancer genes from my mum's maternal line!

    - early lunch of leftover celeriac, apple & blue stilton soup
    - quick trip to local city - return item to M&S, spend vouchers
    - visit poorly father
    - nip into Sainsburys on way home

    You have lost 5lbs - well done!:T and how amazing is your great aunt, I genuinely believe the secret to longevity is to remain as active, social and independent as possible:)

    PS I would love, love to keep hens, but far too many foxes visit my garden unfortunately - they've even taken to sunbathing during the warmer months!

    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:
