    Lovely chooks MWC - very jealous of all the yummy eggs you'll be getting.

    A spendy day today - £32 for a haircut, £24 for the windowcleaner, £40-something in Waitrose (on top of the £30-something spent there midweek...). I did manage to use my Boots points to pay for some photographs of last Sunday to post to my great aunt. I need to pick up a few things in town tomorrow but then austerity measures will be brought back in for the rest of the month.

    3 eggs again today but another day without an egg from Miss Q - I'll have to have words with her

    Pork vindaloo, chapatis and stir-fried nigella seed cabbage for dinner and a large glass of milk - really tasty but very fierce :rotfl:

    My insides feel a bit tender this morning after yesterday's curry :( Mr MWC says it was the hottest thing he's ever eaten!

    Things to do today:

    List item on eBay for colleague
    Walk into town and buy chicken treats, fruit and milk
    Post photographs to great aunt
    Clean kitchen window
    Tidy and clean dining room - it's become a bit of a dumping ground recently
    Laundry
    Home facial

    You forgot 'say hello to LRH from GG and Tilly' :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Miss Gallygirl, Miss Tillytidy and Miss Nattypants do have a certain ring about them...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :D

    I CANNOT believe I missed all the chock talk - I would have loved the above names......Tilly and GG, you were weak and should have insisted, nay FORCED MWC to christen as above.

    MWC - I implore you to reconsider:D

    PS welcome ladies:)

    Sorry Natty, I can't change their names now - it'll confuse them... and me :rotfl:

    Feel free to virtually adopt one though - GG and Tilly have taken a shine to Mavis/Miss LRH - Beryl and Gladys are feeling a bit left out!

    3 eggs so far today - Miss B, Miss M and Miss D (Miss D's first egg of 2013 :T)
