  • [STRIKE]Mr[/STRIKE] Dr MWC prescribed a cheesy 80s film so we watched Sixteen Candles this afternoon :)

    And I spent another hour hacking at stuff in the back garden :)

    VW have written to Mr MWC to confirm that his car is affected by the emission issue. He also received a letter from HMR&C that suggests that he may be due a NI refund *fingers crossed*

  • MWC I thought of you this evening … I baked (a rare occurrence) and when I went to google for recipes, found one on beeb good food, which I'd not have considered had I not seen so many delicious looking things on your diary … even better it has a filter so I can choose the 'easy' (aka much harder to ruin) ones :T
    … yummy scrummy (title not my description) carrot and orange.
    Thank you :) Hope the pain is improving ….
