    You can make Mr MWC do all sorts of horrible chores today, because he promised it wouldn't be an all-dayer :p

    Much, much worse KC... I'm making him follow me around the shops whilst I'm being very indecisive :rotfl:

  • Not so productive today...

    - clothes shopping
    - capsule wardrobe review
    - big bag of clothes for charity
    - some general tidying

    Quite pleased with my capsule wardrobe although it still needs a pair of casual trousers, a pair of smart-ish trousers, a denim skirt, a dress for work and a coat... quite a bit then!

    Tea = 5 mugs
    Water = 4 glasses (Mr MWC made the fifth mug of tea :p) + 500 mL with lunch + 500 mL with dinner :T
    Trips to the loo = numerous :rotfl:

    Eggs IN 5
    Eggs OUT 3 (Mr MWC made Rick Stein's Albanian baked lamb with rice for dinner :drool: Next time he will parboil the rice for 5 minutes - it was a little crunchy!)

  • Just had cuddles with next door neighbour's new baby :smileyhea

    The only coupon not used in my recent spate of supermarket money off coupons was £6 off a £60 spend in Waitrose... today they sent me 3 x £8 off a £40 spend :T

    Happy anniversary :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
