    Excellent step count MWC! I'm just about meeting my personal challenge of remembering to wear the pedo-meter, I'll think about a step challenge next month!


    Today's plan is to potter round the house when it is raining and to potter round the garden when it isn't raining :)

    Loving this as a general plan for weekends heading towards the autumn! x

    When we were menu planning, I told Mr MWC that he had to use up the turnips and to surprise me :rotfl:

    It was actually another curry!

    Aw poor Miss MWC :(

    :grouphug: Dodgy hug for you and Mr MWC :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
