    Thank you GG and Fortune

    Hotel still grim but headache has gone :)

    Today I am... going back to university... 20 years after I graduated the first time and 5 years after I graduated the second time :eek:

    Just for a 2-day short course this time :D

    Where have all my brain cells gone???!!!

    I couldn't face eating dinner in the hotel restaurant (breakfast wasn't very exciting!) and there doesn't appear to be much else in the vicinity, so I had a picnic in my hotel room - falafel, bean salad, mixed salad, crusty bread, 2 mini bottles of wine and an apple (was very good and didn't eat all the falafel or bean salad :A)

    Mr MWC reports 8 eggs today :T

    Thanks Fortune

    It's lovely to have an evening at home with Mr MWC... tomorrow night it's his turn to be away on business :(

    Didn't manage to claim my cash expenses as the system wouldn't let me make a partial claim and I didn't have time to log 20+ CC expenses :mad:

    7 eggs today - Miss W and Gladys are letting the side down at the moment!

    Chicken and ravioli soup for dinner - one of our favourites :drool:

    Gladys is probably just building herself up for the 'extra large' one;)

    Hope Mr MWC isn't away for too long.

    Nope :rotfl:

    Gladys did lay today but not a whopper Natty, 7 eggs in total (no eggs from Miss H or Miss W)

    Paid £40 to be tortured earlier (a much needed deep tissue neck/shoulder/back massage!)

    Received a letter from Nationwide - the last OP means that we only have 11 years and 9 months left to pay on the FA :T

    2 boxes of eggs sold today and 7 eggs laid

    I spent the afternoon and evening pottering in the garden :D

    Mr MWC is home and he cooked pasta with sausage, PSB and chilli for dinner
