    Thanks beckyy. It makes me smile and I'm tempted to have Miss M's photo as my screensaver :D

    Just checked TCB. £15.12 payable :j but I noticed that I can now get the value +5% as Tesco Clubcard points so now I don't know what to do - cash or points???

    We must be interconnected through sisterly thoughts, as I just had a notion to come on this evening to see what everyone's been up too. I miss not being on so much:love:

    Please let B and G know that I do think of them often, also LRH and every time I see a chicken ANYTHING, I think of you MWC (especially the new Waitrose 'egg' advert).

    I'm away to see what HDK has been up to next

    Eggs IN 7
    Eggs OUT 4

    Plants IN 1 (a calendula from Morrisons for £2)

    Pork shoulder joints are 1/2 price in Morrisons at the moment - we bought a ~4kg joint for less than £10 :T

    An egg-based dinner tonight - poached eggs on a cheese & black pepper muffin with ham, portobello mushrooms and asparagus

    I have a new work laptop. Much lighter to carry around and the battery lasts longer than 20 minutes :D

    What happens if you run out of eggs and have orders? Do you play play romantic music and light candles for the girls?
