    I agree MWC - pay day is far, far too far away;)

    I had butternut squash and orange soup last night - absolutely delicious and I am officially declaring butternut squash as my new favourite vegetable (second to chips of course:D)
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:

    I'm surprised you weren't exiled for juicing :rotfl:

    Yes, I'm very lucky MCI... he doesn't clean toilets or mow the lawn and he's rubbish at DIY but he's brilliant in every other way :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Here's the duck recipe:

    Eggs IN 7
    Eggs OUT 1 (Mr MWC's lunch)

    Plants IN 0

    New potato & smoked mackerel salad for dinner

    I had been hoping to make an additional MOP this month and there is a spare £250 in my current account but I'm having second thoughts now. I've decided it might be wise to wait until my car has been serviced/MOT'd/taxed and insured next month. The service is already paid for, the MOT is free and the tax is minimal but I'm close to needing new tyres and insurance costs are sure to go up after Mr MWC's car was stolen from the driveway.

    Huge puddles here when I got home from work but my plants are undamaged so it looks like we missed the hail :T

    I've transferred my ebay money out of paypal - I made £125 after fees :cool:
