An Optimistic Pair's MFW Journey

Gosh you've been busy! I remember how back-breaking it was to do our small garden, I'm sure yours is looking lovely with all those improvements

re the tree stumps, my mum made bird tables out of hers buy nailing a wooden chopping board on top! not sure if this is helpful or not

Hiya,

Hee hee had to reduce a ridiculously useless and dangerous bank by as much as 3 feet above the patio so it looks like someone's been quarrying soil at the mo :rotfl: It looks much tidier though.

That's a good idea of your mum's. The plan was to remove them so the tree surgeon chopped them low and to plant a windbreak which would also screen off the car parking space behind them. I was planning on building a bird table close to the house using a rustic pole which had been an upright from a rickety pergola. Bread board would do nicely. I forgot to ask the digger driver to excavate me a hole for it though


Well done, I started with a £200 budget for food etc and I'm running at about £160 a month average too.

Balance at 31 March was £69,500 - 1k less than estimated. 1k less to pay interest on. 1k closer to being mortgage free. Only £69,264 left to go:rotfl:
