Flight was on sale and booked via TCB, hotel and transfers are free as accompanying Mr MWC on his business trip and I had a fistful of dollars anyway
Nice! What sort of business is Mr MWC in, if you can say without being specific?
Have a wonderful time.0 -

I'm back :wave:
NYC was really :cool: and not too expensive.
We ate at Momofuku on Friday *drools* and Momofuku's Milk Bar on Friday (peanut butter & ritz cracker ice-cream and pineapple upside down truffles), Saturday (green apple & cheddar ice-cream and compost cookies) and Sunday (crack pie)! We already have the momofuku cookbook but I really want the milk bar cookbook now. It is 30% off on Amazon but with my :money:head on, I have resisted and put it on my Christmas list instead. If only I could have resisted some of that food...!

Drooled at the memory of crack pie
Resisted buying the momofuku milk bar cookbook again
Taken lunch to work - raw veggies, marmite breadsticks, fresh/dried fruit
Failed to resist the vending machine at work due to boredem (three times )
Shined my sink
Only 2 eggs today (+1 softie)

Good morning
I forgot to mention previously that there was a little :money:action in NYC... the maid replenished the aveda toiletries every day so I have enough to last me for a couple of weeks
Need to pick up my lift share in 15 minutes so I'd better get a move on - have a good day everyone.Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Thank you MCI
Today I have:
Received my monthly CC statement. It's significantly lower than normal but still doesn't stand up to close scrutiny
Supermarket/groceries = £335.45 :eek: (+ I spent an additional £81.94 on my debit card...)
Petrol = £91.16
Toiletries = £67.52 (in addition to what is included in the supermarket shop)
Amazon = £25.52 (DVD boxsets that I can't get on LoveFilm or Netflix - will try to sell on when we've finished watching them)
Plants = £26.42 (I don't have room in the garden for these...)
Miscellaneous = £233.10 (treats for The Girls, vet bill for FIL's dog, coffee, magazines, train tickets, a half price coat and a pair of trouser that don't fit but I haven't got round to returning yet...)
Looking on the brightside, my loyalty points have been redeemed and I will be receiving a £25 JL gift voucher in the post soon.
Mr MWC is away on business again (back Friday) - this city is not as :cool: as NYC so I decided to stay here! I hate cooking just for myself so I took inspiration from this forum and had eggy bread + maple syrup for my dinner
