hope you had a nice sleep!

Lovely Slept from 21:30 to 05:00, got up to go to the loo (sorry TMI ) and then slept until the alarm went off at 06:00 :T

No early night tonight - I finished making the hedgerow jelly and it took ages to reach setting point... I don't need to be up until 07:00 tomorrow though :T

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 6 (1 box sold for £1 - introductory price for potential new regular customer)

I had a go at tai chi today - I don't think it's for me! I'll have to find another way to relax

Eggs OUT 6 (1 box gifted)

I've spent the evening removing labels and cleaning old jam jars - it's all fun, fun, fun here! I do now have 50+ reusable jars :T I haven't had many little clip-top terrine jars returned this year though

I've updated MFiT-T3 - combined total mortgage = £75, 860

Mr MWC is home tomorrow :j

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for £3)

Great job with the jars - really sympathise with that one.

My sympathies - I had to go jar shopping earlier this week, due to lack of returns

You've reminded me - I need to sort out a system to use for how to store dried goods, now my dehydrator has arrived!

I've had a fairly busy Friday afternoon for me:

- mowed the lawn
- tidied the shed so that the chicken-sitter can get in it next week
- found loads more jam jars in the shed so more label-removing
- a couple of loads of laundry dried on the line
- popped into town to buy chicken treats
- made soup (roast butternut squash, carrot and red/yellow pepper with chipotle)
- oiled the kitchen table

I now have enough round/hexagonal/oval jars for hedgerow jelly and lemon curd, larger round jars for Mr MWC's piccalilli and a selection of other shape jars for chutney. Just need to check I have enough lids - should do as I bought loads last year! The clip-top jars look nice in my hampers though so I will probably buy a dozen!

Eggs IN 6 - yet another 6 egg day, well done Girls :T
Eggs OUT 0

I need a list today or I'll just sit on my backside!

- chub club weigh-in (I'm not going to reach my 20% target before we go on holiday )
- meal plan with Mr MWC (I think he wants to fast on Monday and Wednesday)
- remember not to buy too much fruit & veg as we're off at the crack of dawn on Thursday
- clean under-the-sink kitchen cupboard
- clean fridge
- scrub kitchen floor
- clean bathroom
- write a things to do/pack etc list
- laundry & ironing
- power wash the chicken coop
- buy a sack of chicken feed so they don't run out whilst were away
- clean windows (I didn't think the insides were too bad but the window cleaner did the outsides on Wednesday...)
- pay window cleaner

That'll do for a start :eek:

Just caught up. love love love the pics of the girls in the garden

I lost 1 lb at chub club so I'm 2 lbs from 20% and realistically I could lose another 1 lb by Thursday morning

I've meal-planned, shopped and cleaned the under-the-sink cupboard, fridge and shower. I need to empty the washing machine and then clean the coop.
