    Gally clearly didn't try hard enough at reducing leftovers - you had some pinot grigio blush left! :D;)

    We did our best to reduce the wine lake a little ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Back again and this time I can report a big MOP rather than out of control spending :p We're on target to be in the 30s by the end of the year :T

    It's the weekend :j and Mr MWC will be home in 3 hours :kisses2: He's had back to back business trips to San Francisco, Edinburgh and Odense and I've barely seen him for 2 weeks :cry:

    We have a quiet weekend planned - the only thing we need to do is get the raised beds ready for the autumn/winter salad plug plants arriving on Tuesday.

    My hubby's been the same, although less glamorous locations.

    He's home tonight too but we have a less restful weekend coming up. It will be lovely, just not restful.

    Have a great weekend.
