  • My rail delay cheque (£40.50) finally arrived today - once that's cleared my current account will be less squeaky :j

    I had a lovely facial and massage this afternoon - I prepaid in February so it feels like it was free :rotfl:

  • Natty's back :T:T:T

    I was just thinking about you this week! How's your twig?!

    Here's Natty's twig :rotfl:

    Last year:

    This year:

    And here's mine:

    cercis_zpsf4c5b9cc.jpg

    I'm fairly confident that mine's not dead :)

    My cercis wasn't dead and will flower for the first time in the next few weeks :T

    Quick update from me as we have guests arriving at 10:00 tomorrow and I'm doing emergency housework :o

    - cheque paid in
    - stayed the same at chub club :(
    - bit of a spendy day - cut & blow dry and new underwear (1 back size + 2 cup sizes smaller :T)
    - Sicilian pasta & cauliflower for dinner :)

    I'll take a photograph at some point today alongside my latest twig which is supposed to be an apple tree, however clearly didn't receive the memo and is currently masquerading as a twig;)

    I upload my photos to photobucket and then copy & paste the IMG code :) (you won't see the photo until you preview or submit the post)

    Here's my twig - it's too big now, I'll need to prune it once it has flowered!!!

    Roll on next weekend... I'm exhausted :(

  • All quiet here... although I have claimed a £10 GV from CP and Mr MWC is due a share dividend tomorrow :T

    Bali garden stew with toasty cashews and [STRIKE]shallots[/STRIKE] onions for dinner using swiss chard and red kale from the garden (and a lot less coconut oil and cashews than the recipe!)

    The Girls are laying 6 eggs/day but I haven't sold any yet this week (running total still at £8.55)
