What a day!
It began with a run in a wintry park and ended with a win for the rebels over the emotive subject of the EU budget.
After a morning stint in my office, I met up with Jonathan Howland and his wife, Sara, constituents of mine, who'd bid to have lunch with me to raise money for their local school.
I managed to get them into PMQs, wihich was robust as always, with both leaders trading blows.
Afterwards, I entertained the couple to lunch, which was a most enjoyable event.
I said my farewells and then headed to a committee room to attend my Efra Select Committee.
We continued to take evidence on dangerous dogs and breeding.
At the end, I rushed back to the Chamber to support my colleagues in the EU budget debate.
Mark Reckless had placed a motion for the EU budget to be cut, rather than frozen, which was the PM's negotiating line.
We all felt that the time for talking was over and it's about time we politicians starting standing up for our country and of course our constituents.
Mr Reckless gave a most impressive speech, followed by others, not least the brilliant Bill Cash MP.
Even our Front Bench spokesman agreed that the budget should be cut, but sadly followed the PM's line, which inevitably led to a Division.
We - or should I say the country - won by 307 votes to 294.
Labour have done a complete u-turn and supported our motion. You could argue this was cynical beyond belief, but if the Party has had a road to Damascus-style-conversion then that's good news.
I do hope that the PM takes note of the will of the House and negotiates strongly on our behalf.
We, the rebels, went home feeling elated. At last, the will of the country was being listened to and I so hope that continues.
