Very suitable MWC - sorry it's neededA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

It has been a long day... nearly the weekend though :j
Long but quite good:
- Spoke to social services about my great aunt - fingers crossed they have found her a care home and she'll be released from hospital soon
- farmer's market at work - I "treated" Mr MWC to 2 x rare breed pork chops, a pheasant and some mixed game sausages!
- I was in the right place at the right time to get a bottom branch from a 15 foot Christmas tree - free festive foliage :T
