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

    Spag bol for dinner. Mr MWC had split the sauce into 6 large portions, I divided it into 8 portions and froze 6 :D

    I made a fat-free tea loaf today - using up a bag of mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, currants, pineapple, cherries and mixed peel) that had a best before date of April 2012, wholemeal flour that was best before October 2012 and some brown sugar that been at the back of the larder for yonks :T

    Mr MWC has made me a butternut squash soup for lunch tomorrow using left over squash from the weekend :kisses3:

    Ouchie for Miss M - a bullet-shaped egg sounds painful somehow :eek:
