Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Eggs IN 5
Eggs OUT 0 (bit of a glut at the moment so I have frozen 18 for use in November/December)

Mr MWC was a plonker today and put petrol in his diesel car :doh:

Work is manic this week

A glut sounds brill - tho petrol in a diesel car doesn't: is it going to be ok?

Ouch! Oh dear Did he have to get the garage to drain it, or did you call the breakdown service?

I hope the girls coop is secured - it's supposed to get more than a bit windy for most of the UK tomorrow. Don't want them disappearing into next door's garden en masse

Hope you manage to survive work.

Luckily he realised before he drove off and phoned the AA so it only (ONLY :eek:) cost him £200 + a full tank of petrol

Hmmm not too worried about The Girls Greying but the new walk-in run roof might end up in the neighbour's garden - Mr MWC and FIL aren't known for their DIY skills... :rotfl:

The roof is still on the walk-in run :T

Inspired by Greying, I bought some frozen green beans today. I don't know why I haven't done so before as they're a) considerably cheaper than fresh, b) British so less food miles and c) there will be less wastage as I only needed a handful for chicken & ravioli soup (using HM chicken stock, LO chicken from the weekend and HG parsley :A)

Mr MWC has a rash :eek: hopefully just because he's run down and coldy and nothing worse *fingers crossed*

Eggs IN 4
Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for £2.75)

I certainly buy basic veg as frozen - peas, for instance, who has time to shell fresh peas, unless they've grown them themselves? Broccoli too, tho the texture is usually rubbish.

Oh dear, though - hope the rash proves to be nothing

Me too!

He's had a rash on his chest several times in the last 5 years usually when he's super-busy or a bit rundown and normally a day or so after a flight (although this time it has been a week since his last flight and the rash doesn't appear after every flight). 6 years ago he had chickenpox for the first time so I wonder if it is a mild form of shingles without pain...

As long as it doesn't join up round the middle cos then his top half will fall off :eek:. Fact.

Hope he's feeling a bit better.

Definitely not posh ed... middle class tendencies maybe

We don't eat a lot of peas but I do buy them frozen not fresh... supermarket finest range though...
