I've had to eat the bag of dried mango that I keep for in my hand bag for emergencies - only 10 hours until breakfast
Thanks for the egg update and oh no to having to eat the mango - hope breakfast comes soon for you.

Mr MWC so nearly passed his supermarket shopping challenge this evening but he bought orange juice that wasn't on the list and as the total came to £9.95 he had to spend £2.45 cash as well as £7.50 nectar points
He has defrosted some mince and made a chilli for tomorrow's dinner :T and there was a cup of tea waiting for me when I walked in the door this evening :T so I won't be trading him in just yet :rotfl:
Another NSD for me

Perhaps if you add some food dye to her chicken feed it might work? For example, the other day I ate quite a lot of beetroot which was reflected elsewhere, if you catch my drift:DFebruary13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

Natty, I am detecting a theme in yours posts :rotfl:
MWC, I love hearing about your eggs - I would love chickens but my family banned me from having them

Hi Tilly
My advice would be to ignore the family and get some chickens! Chickens are the best pets in the world ever and they lay extremely tasty eggs
They're not :money:though... well mine aren't. I suppose if you built your own coop/run and didn't spoil them quite as much as I do, it would be cheaper!

Today was another NSD and I have:
- sold 1 box of eggs for £1.25
- eaten healthily
- drunk water instead of coffee
- been for a brisk 45 minute walk in glorious sunshine
We are doing well with the monthly menu plan - HM chilli & rice for dinner tonight and 2 portions frozen for use next month
2 eggs today (Miss Q and Miss- the other 4 show no sign of laying anytime soon...
Today was weigh day - I lost 4 pounds last week (not quite as good as the sneaky mid-week weigh-in but I'm pleased) and Mr MWC lost 5.5 pounds :TMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
