    Beautiful! You are such a talented photographer!

    All my photos are point & shoot with an iPhone :o

    Great photos,

    Hello MWC. Don't suppose you feel like doing a guest blog post about looking after chickens?

    :think: not really - sorry Al - happy to answer questions you have on chicken-keeping though so you can write the post :)

    There appears to be a supermarket war for my business :T
    I'm currently in possession of coupons for £7.50 off a £50 spend at Sainsbury's (and I've already used 3 of these in the past month), £6 off a £50 spend at Morrison's and £6 off a £60 spend at Waitrose.

    Having a quiet weekend at home by ourselves :cool:

  • Following on from the quiet weekend, we actually have a week where we are both home for dinner every day :T Just one though :(

    We have menu planned for the first time in ages - must get back into that habit as my diet has stalled...

    And whilst I'm thinking about food, I must cancel this week's veg box as we don't need it.

    Have a good day everyone (well as good as a rainy Monday can be!)

    I've had a bit of a lie-in and a leisurely breakfast this morning :D

    Not much news here mid-month...

    An unnecessary spend on plants will just about be cancelled out by TCB for a hotel booking (business) and a small mileage claim BUT that's £75+ that could have been saved/spent more wisely :naughty:

    I've also claimed another £10 CP voucher

    I suppose I should go to work now!

    :wave:
