It's one of our favourite soups Tilly :drool:
No added cheese for me today though :A
Lovely Mr MWC will be making it this morning before he heads out so I only have to reheat a portion (or two!) when I get in from work :kisses3:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I'm WFH this morning (saving 50 miles of petrol :T) and then it's the weekend :j
I really must spend some time tidying up the back garden this weekend - it's a disgrace
Other plans for the weekend include:
- [STRIKE]Fat[/STRIKE] chub club (thanks beanie!)
- think about how I'm going to lose weight next week as I'm away on business Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday
- either sow some seeds or decide what/when
- browse/shop for holiday clothes (must look at itinerary again to see if we're in one place long enough to get laundry done)
- a couple of long-ish walks
I've sold 3 boxes of eggs for £4 this week (and possibly another box for £2.50 today)Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

MWC, when you're away from home like that, do you never have a room picnic of M&S salad or something?2023: the year I get to buy a car0

That's one of my options for Monday evening KC!
I'm not being taken out for dinner and there's nothing low cal on the hotel menu, so I'll explore Edinburgh during the afternoon and buy something healthy to eat back in the hotel
Tuesday lunch will be out of my control. Tuesday dinner will be at the airport so probably sushi :drool:
Thursday lunch will be a salad at another airport. I'll be out for dinner on Thursday evening but will say no to starter, dessert and wine :A
Friday lunch will be out of my control. Friday dinner will be probably be a banana!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
