    There's no bread in the house so I had a bag of cheese & onion crisps :rotfl:

    Pre-party preparation is now under way (I'm sat here with a green clay face mask on) - yes, I do need 24 hours to make myself presentable!

    Any top tips for removing static from clothes please? I bought a fluffy pink bolero (100% polyamide) to wear tomorrow and it's crackling with static.

    Nah - I'll just make sure that I have fishfingers and bread in the house at all times :rotfl:

    I'm out tonight and Mr MWC is out tomorrow night, hopefully the ingredients for Monday's dinner (red wine, bacon & radicchio risotto) are still OK on Friday

    Fish finger butties! With ketchup! Ahem ... the risotto sounds more appropriate :)

    Have a good time out tonight.

    I scrubbed up OK and Mr MWC said I looked gorgeous in my party frock :kisses3: And I didn't electrocute myself or anyone else :rotfl:

    Not so glamorous tonight - I've got 3 days of washing-up to do :o

    I bought loads of YS unwaxed lemons in Mr T this evening :T
    Tomorrow I'll be making the first of several batches of appley lemon curd :)

    I've eaten my own body weight in chocolate digestives today :naughty:

    I've submitted our MFiT-T3 update... £96,827 :j

    And I was just about to go to bed but made the mistake of checking my work e-mail and there's a problem on one of my projects :mad:

    I frequently check my work email prior to going to bed - and - usually regret doing so. Hope problem was easily fixed?
    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 !!
