Had a chat with Mr MWC this evening - our new stretch target is to pay the mortgage by the end of 2016 :eek:

I was just about to complain when she mentioned that I was on a special discounted business rate

And what does that have to do with hot water? :eek: Did you forget to tick a box to say you wanted hot water at that rate? If you are planning to use that hotel (or chain) again, I'd definitely ask for refund or a voucher........

You've inspired me to stock take ours (not as high as yours, but I was still surprised)


If anyone's still going after the party at mwc's - the follow up can be here: :
Red 18 (and a half)
White 3
Rose 2 (and a half)
Fizz 5 (inc 1 pink)
Ready mulled 1 (used to poach pears)


Plus unopened:
Quince liqueur
Raspberry vodka
Marshmallow vodka
Damson Gin
Cherry & Apple Brandy


And part bottles of:
Elderberry vodka
Ginger and coriander vodka
Caralicious vodka (drool.....)
Baileys
HM Crème de Mures (about 1.5 litres left - yum!)


and:
Ales: 13 bottles (mainly 'craft' ones)
Lagers: 17 bottles
1 large bottle of fluorescent yellow WKD!!!
2 tins of strawberry cider
1 large and 3 small bottles of various highland whiskies


That's not including about 8 bottles of wine put aside for various presents (inc teachers - am influenced by this board! )


I must put rose wine on the shopping list

Help required please!

FIL has asked for my advice on paint colour for his kitchen/diner... it needs to go with white units, mocha splashbacks, beige work surfaces, beige floor, light mocha blinds, stainless steel appliances, oh and he wants a feature wall!

If you remember from photos of my house, I don't do beige!

Also, is there a "right way" to lay marble effect floor tiles or doesn't it matter? Is it my OCD or are some of these wrong???!!!
