    Plan for today:

    - Laundry/housework
    - Make rhubarb crumble for Mr MWC and FIL
    - Quick trip to JL to order mattress - will pay deposit on JL CC (double points this weekend) and apply for interest-free credit for the balance so that I don't have to dip into savings
    - Pay CCs, transfer £500 to regular saver, make MOP
    - Couple of work e-mails
    - Potter in garden/pot up seedlings
    - Muck out The Girls
    - Ironing
    - Pack for business trip
    - Book flights

    Reminder for tomorrow - water plants!!!

    Thanks for the recipe link, MWC - I just love the idea of using my rhubarb without getting more sugar in my life.

    - Laundry/housework - done as much as I'm planning to, Mr MWC can hoover & dust tomorrow :p
    - Make rhubarb crumble for Mr MWC and FIL - not quite cooked yet... we had shepherdess pie with aduki beans, roast root veg and sweet potato mash for dinner :drool:
    - Quick trip to JL to order mattress - will pay deposit on JL CC (double points this weekend) and apply for interest-free credit for the balance so that I don't have to dip into savings - bit of a palaver but done, made to order so 8 weeks until delivery
    - Pay CCs, transfer £500 to regular saver, make MOP - done the first 2, need to pay for flights before making MOP
    - Couple of work e-mails
    - Potter in garden/pot up seedlings - done
    - Muck out The Girls - done
    - Ironing
    - Pack for business trip
    - Book flights

    Eggs IN 6
    Eggs OUT 24 (1 box given to neighbours, 2 boxes given to FIL, 6 scrambled for brunch)

    So, I'm all happy as we've booked a US trip and are going World Traveller. Then I see your FB status lording it up in upper class :rotfl:. We are going upstairs though :T. Will pick your brains on destination :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
