  • Nooooooooooooooo clumsy Mr MWC has just sat on my money plant and squished it... I hope that's not a sign of things to come with our finances :eek:

    Looking on the brightside... I'll pot up one of the broken bits and maybe two money plants will be better than one :rotfl:

    Now that would have been amusing rather than annoying!

    I lost 1 lb at chub club this week - a little disappointed but better than nothing :) 3 more weigh-days until we go clothes shopping in Canada!

    My crab apple tree is laden so this evening I'll be making a start on my first batch of spiced crab apple jelly :cool:

    Apples! Good to get them done before you're off to Canada - that's a great trip, enjoy :)

    I have a crabapple 'John Downie' and unfortunately it seems to have a very short window of beautiful orange fruit before they spoil and drop :(
    It was however reduced from £40 to £10 in the garden centre a few years ago and makes delicious jelly :)

    With hindsight, I wish I had bought crabapple 'Red Sentinel' for winter colour...

    Really looking forward to our trip - 25 sleeps :j

  • I blinked and the weekend is over :(

    A 5-mile walk this morning (16,000+ steps today!), some housework this afternoon, the dads for dinner and jelly-making this evening...

    I managed to resist my HM rhubarb & ginger crumble :A
    but I did get annoyed with Mr MWC when he elbowed in on the custard-making and did it badly :mad:

    I can't imagine Mr MWC doing ANYTHING badly in the kitchen :eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Custard is his achilles heel - proper egg custard or birds custard powder, he can't make either :rotfl:

    He doesn't do anything else badly in the kitchen :love:
