    Miss LRH has learnt that I'm the source of tasty treats and comes charging down the garden with the big girls everytime I open the conservatory door :rotfl:
    That's my girl :T:T:T:T:T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I hope so! 1 egg from 9 chickens isn't a very good return... I won't be able to quit my job and become an egg farmer at this rate :rotfl:

    Today's news:

    - received a letter from BS informing me that I was in the incorrect membership tier (I told them that months ago...), that I should be earning more interest and that they have backdated the extra interest they owed me - £1.19 :rotfl:

    - received another letter from the BS this one confirming that my ISA has been transferred - £345.35 interest added :D

    - walked to Morrisons with my shopping trolley this evening. I've fallen back into my old (bad) habits - went for spinach, fruit and bread... spent £17.17 and came out with tea bags, shower gel, muesli, yogurt and cereal bars as well (none of it needed) :o

    - curried pasta for dinner (pasta with aubergine pesto, balti paste, yogurt, cauliflower, broad beans and fried onion)
