Making chicken feed of my mortgage

kirstypark

wow, where did you go for that meal? And what did you eat?

Grim weather again here - freezing fog today

I chauffeured Mr MWC to the airport this well (well not quite chauffeured as he drove!) so I got to spend another hour with him and he can claim mileage expenses :money:

Popped into the garden centre on the way back and got 3 bags of MP compost for £1.49 (3 for 2, 50% off in sale + £5.50 of gardening club vouchers) :T

I have just decluttered the last of the cheese & biscuits for lunch and now I need to do a few chores:

Clean chicken coop
Clean bathroom
Take car to car wash and fill her up with petrol ready for tomorrow's commute (remembering to use coupon for 7p/L discount)
Laundry
Review work e-mails and prioritise tasks for tomorrow
Pot up bulbs that I bought months ago and recently found in the understairs cupboard

But first I need a cup of tea!

We ate here Kirsty - from the Little Plates of Loveliness menu

It was good but it wasn't WOW but then again I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food

kirstypark

not a huge chinese fan either - but looking at that menu, I'm sure i would have found something I liked. :j

How disappointing re lunch....
Haven't eaten Chinese in years... too much sugar and white stuff for me but still would have tried if it was a 'posh place'

...and if so eone else was paying!

Watty1

oh yep - should have added that only if someone else was paying

Eggs IN 5 :T including a lovely green egg from Miss Gladys :j
Eggs OUT 0

The chicken coop is clean (-ish ) and my car is clean, full of petrol and has air in the tyres. I could really do with a snooze now but that would be bad!

An OK menu but can't see the chicken in Kung Po sauce or egg fried rice so I'd have struggled :rotfl:.

I've been quite productive this afternoon/evening :T

As well as shining my sink, cleaning the bathroom and downstairs loo, doing a couple of loads of laundry, a home facial and ironing clothes for the next couple of days, I have decluttered a couple of glasses of sherry, the last 3 chocolates, the last HM cookie and a couple of pieces of tablet

I'm setting a few mini resolutions from tomorrow until the end of January:

- Lose more weight than Mr MWC gains in the next couple of weeks and lose 7 lbs by the end of the month
- Drink more water (at least 2 large glasses/day)
- Go for a walk every day (even if it's raining)
- Do at least 2 x 15 minutes of housework/day
- Be positive at work/don't let my negative colleague drag me down

I'm missing Mr MWC already and he's only been gone 10 hours
