    Miss Tilly hen crouched for me this evening so maybe she'll starting laying beautiful white eggs soon :T

    OK day today. A recruiter got on my nerves wanting to know my salary, bonus and benefits before he would forward on my CV so I told him to forget it.

    LO moussaka for dinner :drool:

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

    Eggs IN 2.5 :rotfl:
    Eggs OUT 18 (3 boxes sold for £5.25)

    Mr MWC is out so I'm having a nice quiet evening (bag of S&V crisps for tea - I ate big at lunchtime!)

    The window cleaner came today so, as well as posting him a cheque tomorrow, I now need to clean the insides because all the dirt wasn't on the outside...

    WFH tomorrow so I can have a lie-in :j

    Good evening Greying

    You are - in the nicest possible way - bonkers :rotfl:

    Miss Clarissa will be next (Miss Effie's head gear isn't right yet!)
