    Loved your pics of the girls! Well done on weightless too MWC. Good OP's re: water. I really struggle to drink a lot and drink far too much caffeine which is not good.

  • So far, so good KC :)

    Slept well :T
    Went to chub club - no holiday weight gain :T (and only 3 lbs away from goal)
    I'm wearing my wedding ring for the first time in years as it fits again :j

    This afternoon I'll be visiting my dad and popping into Waitrose to use an £8 off a £40 spend coupon.

    Well done you!

    My wedding ring was too big when we bought it, so I took to wearing it on my middle finger, but now I don't bother! Dh doesn't wear his either! We do think of getting nice replacement ones for an anniversary (the originals were from argus, and only bought 2 days before the wedding as we had forgotten to get any :rotfl:, so we were limited to what they had in stock!) but haven't got round toit in 14 years...

    Just realised we share a MFW target date :D
    NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!
  • A skinny Mr MWC lost his too large wedding ring last year somewhere in London :(

    I succumbed to a new duvet cover this afternoon - we don't need new bedding but it is perfect for our bedroom :D

    No napping but my body clock is still a couple of hours out - it'll probably be back to normal just in time for a business trip to the US next week...!

    We're supposed to be going to Wembley for the NFL this afternoon. I'll wake Mr MWC soon but I don't think he's going to be well enough to go. No sympathy for him please - it's self-inflicted :mad:

    It's a busy week as we also have tickets for 2 rugby world cup matches.

  • Well we went but wished we hadn't... rubbish game, Mr MWC was hungover and I've got toothache :(

    RMS items prepped for the coming week and CP updated.
