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:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Now that would have been amusing rather than annoying!
I lost 1 lb at chub club this week - a little disappointed but better than nothing3 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:

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 :jMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

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