  • Did you get your early night?

    Not super early but in bed by 22:00 :)

    Finished work at lunchtime, had a facial and then went to the gym :)

  • Good morning :)

    Plans for today:

    - Chub club weigh-in
    - Library (42p fine - books 1 day overdue :naughty:)
    - Fill prescription
    - Buy F&V for the weekend
    - Bulk-buy Minstrels for an American colleague
    - Make a what-I-need-to-pack list for business trip to US
    - Keep fingers crossed that M&S order is delivered today as it contains a new baby gift that will be on the list above!
    - Take my dad (and that woman) to the airport
    - Potter in garden and/or pot up more seedlings
    - Eat rhubarb & lentil curry (Mr MWC still turning his nose up especially as when he said we needed to buy more basmati rice, I said there was plenty of brown basmati rice in the cupboard :rotfl:)
    - Book flights (long weekend in Chicago in September using air miles collected on business trips and Christmas in Toronto :j)

    Love the sound of those air miles :)

    Hate the sound of a library fine :) one of the good things about ebooks from the library is that they take them back from your computer automatically, at least they do at my library, so suddenly no more fines, even one day's worth :)

    I also did a few laps of the house!
