Making chicken feed of my mortgage

edinburgher

Sorry to hear about your letter MWC, have you spoken to any other neighbours about the noise from the hens? TBH, I'd find the noises of animals quite relaxing, but I realise that other people may not feel the same.

It's a difficult situation - if someone did have an issue it would have been nice for them to come and talk to you - but they probably would have felt very uncomfortable having to do so.

Fingers x'ed it all works out for the best

Morning MWC, how about some HM shortbread biccies and a blueberry compote - the ice cream sounds delicious. I thought the blueberries might be a contrast to the sweet toffee?

How about more dulce con leche, or is that just me

:mad: to stupid neighbours who can't tell their birds apart :mad:

Just you GG - way too sickly!

Mr MWC is fuming - he wouldn't be bothered if the noise issue went to court so he could find out which one of our cowardly neighbours complained about us :eek:

The Girls have been as quiet as church mice today :rotfl:

No delivery from SR yet - my Hydrangea 'Merveille Sanguine' was shipped Thursday, if it doesn't arrive today it will probably be dead on arrival :mad:

It arrived this afternoon - a good size, healthy plant and I'm very pleased with it :T I'm still never buying anything from SR again though :rotfl:

Today's plans:
Grocery shopping - spent small fortune mainly on food for tomorrow
Laundry - 2 loads done and nearly dry
Housework - had a bit of a tidy up but serious cleaning will need to be done tomorrow morning
Gardening between the showers - managed to get lots done

Eggs IN 5 (still no green egg from Miss M)
Eggs OUT 2

Sausage and butternut squash toad-in-the-hole for dinner

Ice-cream made (bowl licked clean ) and quite a bit of prep done for tomorrow :T

Alchemilla

Unless you have a restrictive covenant saying yoj cant keep birds then there is little anyone can do i think. They would need recordings of a high level of noise constantly or for susustained periods of time.

Eggs IN only 6 but included a green egg from Miss M and a double yolker (115g) from MIss D :T

Lunch was good but we spent approx. £60 on ingredients, I'm still hungry and there are insufficient leftovers for dinner tomorrow :eek:

BBQ chicken with red pepper, chilli & feta sauce
Ribeye steaks with chimichurri sauce
Tomato, avocado & sweet potato salad
Spicy broad bean, corn & olive salad
Black bean salsa
Guacamole
Sikil pak
Tortillas

Dulce de leche & banana ice cream with blueberry compote & shortbread (thanks Tilly!)

It was good to see my brother and his girlfriend - the first time since we came back from Mexico so spent some time looking at holiday photos

They are just about to buy their first home and she has already looked at the MOP calculator and is planning to OP £100/month :T:T:T

She also spotted a very important error in the noise nuisance letter that we had overlooked... although the letter is addressed to our next door neighbour and they assumed it was for us, the address in the subject line is X Avenue not X Road (X Avenue is down the hill and round the corner) :j:j:j

Eggs IN 7
Eggs OUT 6 (1 box sold for £1.25)

We bulked out yesterday's leftovers with some chicken thighs and tortillas from the freezer and another lettuce.

I have been invited to join the Royal Mail Survey from mid-July :j That's my Christmas stamps sorted :T

In other money news, my pension statement for my current job arrived today. My employer pays 12% and I pay 4% by salary sacrifice and, on top of the payments received, it appears that my investment has grown by 14% I have a meeting with a pension advisor in July to discuss my other pension... I have no idea what is happening with that one...
