  • Local and global HR are both nightmares... silly me to think that HR were there for the employee *rolls eyes*

    Did anyone manage to get Kate Bush tickets? We didn't :(

    Plants IN 4
    My fruit trees have arrived :T More hurdle-over than step-over :eek:

    Eggs IN 5
    Eggs OUT 0

    Plants IN 6 (the 4 fruit trees from earlier + salvia confertiflora + buddleja globosa)

    I spent the afternoon pottering in the garden - 100+ sycamore seedlings pulled (new since last week :( ), victoria plum tree planted, butternut squash seeds planted

    My 2011 LTI shares vested today :T

    Pasta with bolognese sauce from the freezer for dinner - the freezer is looking decidedly bare now :eek:

    There is a reason they call HR "anti personnel".

    Wow, 100 or so sycamore seedlings! They're divvils :( I'm glad you caught them.
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • The shower is leaking again :( however that meant I got to lay in the bath with the sun shining through the window and dream that I was on a tropical island :rotfl:

    Mr MWC transferred a "spare" £1,400 into the joint a/c this morning and I immediately transferred it to the mortgage :D The further advance is now <£30,000 :j

    We need to go grocery shopping this morning - not only is the freezer bare but so are the fridge and the larder - it's gonna be a biggie :eek:

    The downside of living on an attractive tree-lined street KC :(

    Never mind there are a lot more positives and they are easy to pull if you get them early :)

  • Eggs IN 7 :T
    Eggs OUT 2

    Only(!) spent £90 - didn't buy any cleaning products, alcohol or toiletries though and the only meat/fish/poultry was 4 FR chicken thighs and a tin of anchovies...

    Another afternoon pottering in the garden :D

    Mr MWC tries to help but he has a "that'll do" attitude that winds me up. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning (whilst he is asleep so I don't hurt his feelings) I shall be replanting the fruit trees he planted and lifting the turf he laid and levelling the soil underneath!

    He's an absolute star in the kitchen though :T Sumac-spiced aubergine 'schnitzel' with puy lentil & feta tabbouleh for dinner :T

    I'd happily accept that attitude to the garden if it meant that wonderful food got made for me! Enjoy!
