    They are fine Natty - they have a 9 x 12 covered run and they tend to huddle under the coop rather than in it. I've been out to give them a bowl of warm chicken feed porridge this morning.

    No money saving or dieting today - we have the day off and Mr MWC is taking me to a Michelin 2-star restaurant for lunch :D

    I've had a lovely birthday :D

    Lunch was fabulous - we went to Tom Kerridge's restaurant The Hand & Flowers

    I had:
    A glass of champagne
    Moules marinieres with warm stout and brown bread
    Loin of cotswold venison with rye bread sauce, swiss chard farci and peppered sprouts, and a side of crushed swede
    Banana souffle with gingerbread custard and yoghurt ice-cream

    Mr MWC had:
    A pint of Hand & Flowers ale
    Crispy pig's head with artichoke, pancetta and chickweed
    Slow-cooked duck breast with savoy cabbage, duck fat chips and gravy
    Warm pistachio sponge cake with melon sorbet and marzipan

    The spending didn't stop there... :rotfl:

    We stopped at Morrisons on the way home and spent £9.24 on milk, fruit and vegetables.

    When we got home we booked the flights for our holiday in Mexico in March/April. The holiday savings account is £1,629 lighter. I am really, really looking forward to this trip :D

    I have also ordered an artificial flower arrangement for my great-aunt (£31.24) (she doesn't like real flowers) and spent £2.70 on a lovely 100th birthday card.

    oh and 1 egg today from Miss B

    Glad you had such a fab time :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
