Making chicken feed of my mortgage

greent

The marble tiles look wrong to me, too.


Does he have any colour anywhere? (eg: kettle) I like Dulux's mulberry burst for a feature wall - but it might depend on size of room/ the light into it. If he likes green then willow tree is lovely (but quite pale) and so is melon sorbet.

Thanks greent

No colour anywhere apart from a dark red feature wall in the living room - the rest of his house is beige - otherwise I might have suggested red as it would be easy to accessorise!

I thought about mulberry burst for the feature wall but thought it might be a bit dark. Although the room is west-facing and does have patio doors down that end :think:

I've suggested this to him.

Plans for the weekend:

- really must go to chub club (haven't been in November ) - gained 1.5 pounds
- complete & return questionnaire for familial cancer project - not yet
- make candied orange peel - done
- rake up a few leaves - no
- plant tulip bulbs - no
- knit little hats - 4 hats made
- housework/laundry/ironing - done
- buy items for a Christmas foodbank collection at work - done
- watch terrible made-for-tv Christmas movies! - done and they were really terrible :rotfl:

2 bottles of wine consumed this weekend (1 red, 1 rose) but only a net reduction of 1 as my dad gave us a bottle of red. Mr MWC has cancelled his wine club membership.

Mr MWC excelled himself in the kitchen again - braised ox cheek cottage pie :drool: with roast beetroot, roast parsnips & savoy cabbage for dinner. The old bag trapped him in the kitchen and invaded his personal space again

Eggs IN 7 (2 yesterday, 5 today)
Eggs OUT 26 (12 in a roasted root veg frittata yesterday, 14 given to family today)

We've currently got something very similar to the capri rose in ours (which has maple units and skirting, black granite worktop, dark brown huge porcelain floor tiles, beige/ brown/ cream tiles above worktops and a neutral dark beige (think the colour of dried fresh plaster) on the walls everywhere else. When it's re-done I'm considering mulberry burst (but it is a NNW room - but has 3 windows on 2 sides and is quite large, so I might get away with it) or something else purple/ plum-y


If he's looking at having the feature wall being the one with patio doors in then Mulberry is a good possibility - it's not as dull as it seems on dulux's website - we have it elsewhere and have plaster uplighters painted in it in the lounge

Sort of hoping MWC might give me some inspiration when she visits :rotfl:. Though can't see me changing from white walls out here.

White walls are good... as long as you have lots of colourful accessories!!!

Yesterday's dinner - pear & rosemary chicken with roasted sprouts and romanesco cauliflower - was even better :drool:

Yummy yum yum yummmmm yum

I must have an early night tonight - I'm exhausted from too many 6.5 hour sleeps rather than 7.5-8 hours

I've opened a N/wide regular saver a/c (5% gross) so some MOPs will be redirected for 2016.

No news yet on my matured sharesave plans *feeling impatient*

We are eating well this week Uncle Tony's pasta/rapini/potato dish for dinner with sprout tops replacing the rapini
