    I've had a bit of a spendy day today but in a :money:way!

    - Spent £1.99 on the salad leaves & basil seeds mentioned in Martin's weekly e-mail.

    - Spent £64.99 on an organic meat box from The Well Hung Meat Company for delivery next Friday - special offer price of £67 (£35 discount) + £7.99 P&P - £10 promotion code (treatmum) found online :D

    Organic Whole Duck2.2Kg
    Organic Lamb Roasting Joint0.8-1Kg
    Organic Whole Chicken1.2Kg
    Organic Pork Loin Steaks400g
    Organic Lamb Chops400g
    Organic Beef Burgers400g
    Organic Beef Mince400g
    Organic Chicken Drumsticks400g
    Organic Sliced Ham100g

    Sausage, barley & kale stew for dinner tonight - one of our favourites but probably the last time we cook it until next winter

    5 eggs - Miss B, Miss D, Miss M, Miss LRH and Miss Beryl or Miss Gladys (if I had to guess I would say Miss G but not 100% sure)

    Tlly/GG/Natty - I might need one of you to chicken-sit over Easter... are you free?!

  • I caught her in the act of laying me a little cream egg this afternoon :D Mmmm if only she laid creme eggs... :rotfl:

    Now Miss Gladys, mummy needs you to start laying pale blue eggs please :)

    We had a sweepstake at work today (£1 entry) to predict what time the boss and let's call her "Mary" would get back from one of their frequent long lunch breaks (if they're not having an affair they are doing a really good job of making everyone else in the team think they are) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I lost :(

  • how long did you bet?

    Does "Mary" ever look dishevelled when she returns to the office??

    14:25 but they came back at 14:10

    Not particularly dishevelled MM. However she does look flustered when she knows that we know that she is lying about something and it always makes us chuckle when they leave and return to the office 2 minutes apart :rotfl:

    Ha ha - they've probably got diaries on here and spend their lunch times looking for roadkill pennies :).
