Making chicken feed of my mortgage

He took the banana, rum-soaked sultana & walnut cake into work on Monday. I'm meeting with ex-colleagues tomorrow so the marmalade cake is for them

MWC, what an interesting marmalade website! I love, absolutely love, bitter, thick cut marmalade one of my fondest memories of travelling in Turkey over the winter was seeing the young men who ran a hostel in Istanbul taking over the cafe in the evening, cutting up oranges and making tons and tons of marmalade

The cake looks good and I had a quick walk round the block whilst it was baking :T

[STRIKE]Chef[/STRIKE] Mr MWC is in Belgium - back late tomorrow - so tomatoes on toast for dinner :rotfl:

I had a neck/shoulders/back massage today - it was subsidised by work so only cost me £5 :cool:

Eggs IN 7
Eggs OUT 21 (2 boxes sold for £3, 1 box given to a friend, 3 used in cake)

The cake was a big success - I impressed people by baking a cake using HM marmalade and eggs laid in the back garden :cool:

Arrived home at lunchtime to find 5/8 chickens trashing my part of the garden
We'll need to fortify the chicken run this weekend - they escape but they forget how to get back in at bedtime.. I found Miss LRH, Miss Gladys and Miss Effie roosting in the raised bed yesterday evening! I spent the afternoon pressure-washing the chicken coop and Mr MWC has promised to dig out and replace the wood chip in the run tomorrow.

11 days to pay day...

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 0

I'm slacking... only 13,500 steps today

Not slacking enough! At 7am there was a distant, vague possibility of catching you. If I did over 20,000 and you lost your fitbit...

Twas not to be.
