    The eggs look fab:T

    I think that farrow and ball should produce shades of paint named after each hen - F&B if you're reading this, you can have my idea in exchange of a few tins of Miss Gladys and Miss Beryl:D
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D

    What a lovely idea Natty :D

    I spent the afternoon sorting through several bags of clothes that I had shoved in the loft when I did Project 333 a few months ago. Summer clothes found for holiday, 2 bags sorted for charity shop and 1 bag of clothes (BNWT :o) for ebay

    We were supposed to be going to a family party this evening (180 mile round-trip) but snow was lying on the motorway so we turned round and came home rather than risk getting stuck later.

    5 eggs today - Miss B, Miss D and the newbies

    Mr MWC got annoyed with Nationwide this morning whilst trying to transfer money into his new online ISA. He has had a reference number sent to him but no account number. When he phoned up Customer Service he failed all the security questions relating to our joint current account because he has never used it!

    Very spendy weekend - buying holiday stuff - but at least I'll earn lots of CP points!!!

    Two loads of laundry left to wash but several to iron :(

    Have to clean out The Girls as well... Brrrrr!!!

    It's strange seeing blossom and snow together - I'm guessing that I won't get much fruit on my cherry plum tree this year :(

    - packed my suitcase :j

    Well nearly... I need to unload the washing machine, dry a few things on the radiator and iron a couple of things, pack toiletries and pack my hand luggage...

    And clean out the chickens before we leave for the airport in 12 hours!
