- An hour at the gym
- Helped Mr MWC make dinner - FC's perfect (black & broad) bean burger with roasted butternut squash, portobello mushrooms, HM guacamole & salsa - bit of a faff to make but delicious :drool:
- Grocery shopping - used a £10 off coupon :T

Mr MWC had a more successful shopping trip than me (although I did get some size 12 linen trousers :j) and he used my JL coupon for free coffee & cake
Another new recipe for dinner (and another keeper :T): Nathan Outlaw's smoked haddock and curried lentils with lime yogurt from this month's Sainsbury's magazine :drool:

Very well done on the weight loss. I am particularly impressed with you walking into town in the rain, being very much a fair weather walker myself.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0
