    Well today was much more productive than I thought it would be :T

    - chicken coop power-washed, chicken run wood chip replaced, disinfectant powder liberally sprinkled :)

    - seeds sown :)

    - warmer weather clothes washed, ironed and ready to pack :)

    Pay day tomorrow :j

    Eggs IN 6
    Eggs OUT 1 (fried for Mr MWC's lunch)

    Loved the spring feel to this post... we are a bit behind you up here, but I hope to get my seeds out soon:j

    Book - tick (I've borrowed the new J Paul Henderson book - The Last of the Bowmans - from the library :))

    I've surprised myself :rotfl:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I can just see me grabbing my cabin case, chucking a motley collection of stuff in it, racing to the hairdressers, then over to you. GG, let's hope you don't mind me borrowing your clothes :rotfl:

    I will be travelling in my walking trainers - boy I'll look hot :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Love to do the cabin baggage challenge. I have a jacket that fits a weeks worth of clothes, flipflops and toiletries in it - now that's a good look!
