    :D It's been a good day :D

    - The walk was lovely
    - My dad's ladyfriend didn't grope Mr MWC
    - My dad fortified the chicken run - fingers crossed they stay put in their bit of the garden now
    - Macaroni cheese & chips for dinner followed by trifle (FIL's favourite meal for his birthday)
    - the 1 unsold item that I relisted on ebay sold for £17

    and...

    I sold my old chicken coop & run for a couple of hundred pounds :T

    And they weren't just any chips... they were McCain's gorgeous chips basted in beef dripping :o

    Today will be a low fat, high fibre, plenty of water kind of day!

    I must remember to claim some petrol expenses today - only 12 miles but better than nothing!

    Have a good day everyone :D

    I was just reviewing the numbers in my original post - we've reduced the FA by £13,000 in 9 months :T and I reckon that it will be under £60,000 by 12 October 2013 :j
