Roast squash, rosemary & butter bean soup for lunch, and roasted pork tenderloin with apples & onions, potato & celeriac mash and cabbage planned for dinner - I love autumn food :drool:

Just checked internet banking and FA balance is £0.00
(I wasn't expecting it to show until at least tomorrow)
Just for the record, we OP'd £69,777.43 :T
Mr MWC is at Wembley today for NFL. My plans:
- housework
- laundry
- potter in garden/pick last of the raspberries/pick some beetroot to make room for the swede seedlings/think about clearing some leaves but probably decide to leave it until all the leaves have dropped!
- clean chicken coop
ETA - go for a walk or 2... I could do with a day off walking but a colleague has fitbit-challenged me...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Well done on the mortgage OP's MWC - that's awesome :T0

I've done everything on my list (apart from the leaves) :T
100,000+ steps in the last 7 days - no wonder I'm tired!
I need to refocus on my good habits (drinking water, body brushing, cleaning my face 2 x day, making a bit of an effort with my appearance, hand care) in November - it all went to pot in October...

Nice gift KC
I like LE stuff although after a couple of years I decided that my skin needed a change of routine. I have an unopened 50 mL jar of skin repair moisturiser, dry/sensitive, and an unopened bottle of eyebright that they sent me as a loyalty gift - PM me if you want them

As part of my decluttering earlier in the year I started using up some of my many 'body polishes' - and actually noticed they made a difference, so have kept it upI've also made a conscious effort to use up the many body butters/ lotions/ souffl!s/ creams etc - I usually only throw a bit on my legs now and then in the Summer months
- but I do find that a bit of conscious looking after myself in some areas kicks into others (eg: if I'm making an effort with things like body polishing and moisturising, I'm more likely to bother drying and straightening my hair/ not wear total scruffs/ think about healthier choices for food) x
