I'm either in the kitchen admiring it or in the living room plumping up the cushions on the new sofa as soon as Mr MWC stands up :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

The party is next Saturday (12th) Apple and I don't think that I'm going to have time to trial the chocolate avocado cake beforehand.
I made a start on the bathroom... but then watched Man Up instead! I'll have to try and finish it off this evening as I'm quickly running out of available time.
I have a 1 hour deep tissue massage booked for this evening. Desperately needed as one shoulder is higher than the other and everything aches. As I'll be in town, I'll pop in to the butcher and order meat for next weekend and drop another bag of stuff at the charity shop.Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Hope it does the trick MWC, I had one a few weeks ago and am still suffering flashbacks ��. The chap who did it is very popular where I live and he came along to a Pilates class I go to for the first time, it's a strange class, targeting specific areas and using balls and rollers. When he said it was painful there were quite a few muttering a along the lines of 'good' 'serves you right' etc to be heardA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

I love your kitchen ceiling so much I've been telling real life people about it
Hope the massage works - but be prepared to possibly ache more tomorrow/the day after..

Mr MWC & I were in the London Stadium last night for the athletics WOW what an amazing experience - worth every single penny of the £150 we paid for tickets :j:j:j
Operation party-readiness needs to be ramped up this weekend...
* Mow the lawn
* Deadhead & tidy up the flower beds & pots
* Pressure wash chicken coop
* Pressure wash outside & deep-clean inside of conservatory
* Clean windows inside & out
* Put stuff in the loft
* Take more stuff to the tip
* Nag Mr MWC to tidy his office (the alternative is I do it one evening this week whilst he's out of the country and I'm not sure that he'll think that's an acceptable alternative!)
* Make lists of things-to-do for the rest of the week
+ hair cut this morning and out for cocktails & dinner with friends this evening
I'm exhausted just thinking about it...!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
