  • Eggs IN ? - it was dark when Mr MWC got home so he didn't look *shakes head*
    Eggs OUT 0

    I've soaked in a bubble bath - well there's a rolltop bath actually in my room, posh toiletries and foodie/housie magazines, it would have been rude not to :rotfl:

    In money-related news:

    I've spent 40p to get a £5 coupon for Mr M

  • And now I'm about to make use of the complimentary earplugs as my room is directly below the private dining room with it's lovely wooden floor and what sounds like a herd of elephants playing musical chairs :(

    Just a thought :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    hotel was sounding lovely till the elephants in the dining room - thank goodness for the pom poms :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

  • A lazy day today - we didn't wake up until 09:45 :eek: and, apart from walking to MrM to use the £5 F&V voucher, we've done very little since :)

    I did have a rummage in the freezer... same old stuff as last month (and the month before :o) so we're now on a mission to either eat the contents in December or turn them into "ready meals" for use when I'm home alone for 2 weeks in January.

    Dinner this evening was HFW's winter stirfry... using yummy brussel sprouts but nothing from the freezer :rotfl:

    Eggs IN 3
    Eggs OUT 4 (poached for lunch)
