Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Just a quick post before I head off to bed with a headache

Porcini, chickpea and cavalo nero soup for dinner - edible but I won't be making it again!

NSD No. 10 for November

An hour late leaving work but never mind... hurrah, it's the weekend :j
Eating leftovers for lunch and thinking about doing some housework!

Miss F was all wobbley again this morning so I left her in the conservatory. She's fine now and is in the garden with the others

2 eggs today BUT 1 had a very thin shell and I put my finger through it - yeuk

I've reviewed the bank accounts and there appears to be £509.71 surplus to requirements in the joint account so I have OP'd £500 to the FA. The FA is now in the 77s :T (the original mortgage is still in the 88s but I'm ignoring that one for the time being!)

There's probably another £500 surplus in my account but I want to hang on to that for another week or so before OP'ing - just in case...

So, my 2012 MFW target was £6,900 (equivalent to paying the FA twice a month, every month) and my current OP total is £7,375 :j

I was just looking at my Goals for 2012 and one of my financial goals (before I became a proper MFW) was to OP the mortage by £1000 per quarter... so I've well and truly smashed that target to smithereens too :D:D

Thanks BW!

Mr MWC left today for a 5-day business trip to Portugal... lucky so-and-so...

I had cold HM Christmas pudding (an individual one not a huge one!) and leftover single cream for dinner

My only spend today was a donation to Children in Need

You really are getting to smashing this arnt you!!! well done!!!!! Hows Miss F? xx

muddywhitechicken

Thanks moneycurious

Miss F is still wobbley and (unlike on previous days) she didn't seem to get any better as the day progressed She's still eating and pooing though so fingers crossed for a recovery...

Today was a big spend day. I went clothes shopping. I hate clothes shopping and my mood wasn't improved when I realised that the shop I wanted to buy a pair of trousers from had closed down :mad: So I spent 4 hours and £150 shopping in person and another 2 hours and £250 shopping online - I'm not planning on keeping everything I've bought though.

I'm still a bit headachy so another early night for me

Oh, eggy bread for tea and 1 egg today

Today I need to:

[STRIKE]Shower[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Dress[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Menu plan[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Write shopping list[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Go to Morrisons - spend £40 on things I need or storecupboard items and not a
penny more [/STRIKE]- no where near £40
[STRIKE]Go to the chicken place and buy feed, corn & grit[/STRIKE]
Laundry x 3 loads - 2 loads done and first load re-done because I dropped it in the mud :mad:
Housework - high priority jobs include shine kitchen sink, clean bathroom, change bedding, hoover upstairs, tidy Mr MWC's office (so he has enough room to make a mess in on his return!) and clean the conservatory (Miss F isn't house-trained and not all the poo is on the newspaper...)
Clean the chicken coop

But first, I'm going to put the kettle on and have another cup of tea

So I stuck to the shopping list and spent £68.69 in Morrisons :eek: and £24.40 at the chicken place

Analysis of supermarket receipt:

£1.30 on chicken treats (spinach)
£0.00 on food for the wild birds
£16.56 on vegetables
£5.76 on fruit
£5.75 on dairy
£6.48 on meat/poultry/fish
£2.38 on toiletries
£1.79 on cleaning products
£24.43 on storecupboard items (cereal, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, bay leaves, stock cubes, tinned beans)
£4.24 on bread
£0.00 on Christmas

Must try harder next week...
