    There have been some awful bugs going around, today is the first day I'm not feeling gunked up since before Christmas. If Dr Google is correct it's a shame to get it without at least going to Aus!

    Woot, on the finances though, you're doing really well.

    Hope you are on the mend MWC :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • We're already counting down the days to February and planning to start the year again!

    I'm hoping to be fully recovered before I visit my aunt (departure in 13 days) *fingers crossed*

    Mr MWC is cooking HFW's parsnip, sprout & chestnut hotpot with cider for dinner using parsnips & sprouts bought before Christmas, chestnuts from the store cupboard (probably bought cheap last January!) and 1/2 bottle cider from the family party in August (rest of the bottle to be used on Monday)!!!

    I'm supposed to be going to a football match with my dad tomorrow (his Christmas present). My head says stay at home but my heart says go, make memories and suffer the consequences :think:
