Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Thanks Tilly

I'm on my lonesome again - Mr MWC is in the Czech Republic for 3 days

I went out for lunch with my colleagues today - really glad I wasn't paying as it was VERY disappointing. I choose aubergine stuffed with mushrooms, spinach and curried houmous served with a mixed salad... I got half a baked aubergine topped with fried mushrooms and wilted spinach served on a tablespoon of houmous that had been smeared across the plate, and a mixed leaf garnish... £16 :eek: That's why we don't eat out very often - Mr MWC spoils me and I'm nearly always disappointed as I eat better at home.

Eggs OUT 2 (dippy eggs with wholemeal toast and asparagus soldiers for tea )

Fabulous money news and flipping heck, well done on the steps!! :T

PS. Rhubarb and vanilla jam sounds to die for, yum yum yum.

PPS. I'm in major catchup mode, looking forward to getting properly up to speed with MWC-land! Hope all has been well xx

Egads on the meal! That's why I don't eat out much these days either... so much lack of imagination and skill out there

Perhaps the chef doesn't work Mondays... but, if so, why have a specials board?! My friend had ham, egg & chips... ham looked like it was prepacked, fried eggs were overcooked and the chips didn't look very nice BUT they were served in a little metal bucket! :huh:

I hate it when you go out for a meal and are disappointed - all you're asking for is nice food!

The meal sounds revolting all the way round, MWC! The only meals I really go out for are family - and then its either a nice pub, or a *really* posh restaurant in a very small village that we know. Things are a little over-salted for my mum's taste sometimes, but I think we've chosen good places, and its nice to support them regularly **










** erm, twice a year :rotfl:

Manic day yesterday...

Best thing: saw lots of people I haven't seen since before the weight loss and they were very complimentary

Worst things: ate loads of rubbish, been dumped in it a bit by a US colleague and ended up reviewing stuff for him until late last night I could just let him get on with it but if he messes up it would reflect badly both internally and externally to the supplier (the people I have to work with on a daily basis). He's a nice chap really just doesn't have a clue about the day to day practical stuff...

Well done :T:T:T:T:T. I did manage 30,000 one day but they have a glitch on their site and my badge isn't showing .

Your tea sounds much nicer than the manky lunch .

Hello, hello, hello :wave:

Oh dear, I found my diary at the bottom of page 4

Brief update from me:

- we had a fabulous 25,000 step day in London on Saturday for Mr MWC's birthday - street food for lunch at Broadway Market, an afternoon wine tasting at a Naked Wines tasting event, a restorative pot of tea, cocktails and then a 5 course meal at Theo Randall at the InterContinental

- Mr MWC flew to the US of A on Sunday - he's away for 8 nights

- Miss LRH is a little under the weather The vet couldn't find anything wrong but she is on a course of antibiotics just in case *fingers crossed*

- My car passed its MOT after the purchase of 2 new tyres (the rear tyres had been an advisory for the past 3 years so not entirely unexpected!)
