    Mortgage-free Glee!
    MWC do cats go for chickens? We have a hunting cat next door and I'mm nervous about leaving my girls out without me. But I'm not very productive when I'm sitting in a field!

  • Not in my experience - the neighbour's cats look but that's all... I think a peck would see them off if they got any closer.
    But if this cat catches rabbits I'd be a little more wary...

  • I'm back... and just in time for pay day tomorrow!

    A quick update from me:

    - hit my 20% weight loss target the day before we went on holiday :T overate almost every day since... :o

    - walked 251,215 steps in the past 14 days :j

    - spent lots of time with family, friends and Mr MWC :)

    - wasn't really in the mood for shopping so didn't spend too much money!

    That is :eek: and :T in equal measures :).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • First day back at work survived!

    Already thinking about next year's holidays but noma have put the kibosh on my birthday plans by moving the restaurant from Copenhagen to Sydney and our tentative plans for Mr MWC's birthday might be thwarted by his colleague :(
