    I'm not fitting it all in shala-moo!!! In order to average 14,750 steps/day...

    - I'm not keeping on top of the housework :(
    - I'm only just keeping on top of the garden :(
    - I'm not keeping up with my MFW diary :( or other diaries :(:(
    - I'm not getting enough sleep :(

    We went for a 4-mile walk this morning and I've pottered around the house/garden. I'm currently at 14,729 steps and about to walk to Sainsburys (2 mile round-trip) for some milk...

  • Eggs IN 2 :naughty:

    I've decided to worm The Girls this week in case that's the reason for the poor egg production (it's probably old age though!)

    ~23,500 steps today :T

    This time next week we'll be on holiday :D

    Yes I think I have the same problem with my eggs :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    LOs from yesterday for dinner - beer can chicken, green rice and a salad of red gem lettuce, chicory, asparagus & avocado with a chipotle dressing - yum!

    Wow...that's a lot of steps.

    I am sure I don't do anywhere near what I should, but walking up and down and up and down and up and down (you get the idea) the allotment with the watering can must help.

    Pity about not being able to book your holiday yet.

    The annual statement for my S&S ISA was delivered - it's not on target to pay off the interest-only bit of the mortgage (the original intention but no longer the plan luckily!) but the current value is £8,794 more than we've paid in :T

    Off out for a couple of laps round the block in the rain - I need another 4,000 steps today!

    Cheque from sale of shares cleared so half MOP'd and half transferred to holiday fund :T

    Tempted to MOP some of my tax refund as well so that our total MOPs = £60,000 but should really use it for my car tax and insurance instead!
