Making chicken feed of my mortgage

You're so impatient Natty... I suppose legally they can't declare you the winner until after the closing date

Yes, but it's not fair to give the other entrants false hope. I may just take the liberty of announcing the girls as the winners by calling the BBC / Sky News first thing tomorrow.

Surely news that important warrants an international news agency???!!!

I've spent the afternoon in bed with a work-induced migraine - headache not so bad now but vision still a bit fuzzy

What a waste of my afternoon off - I was hoping to get my errands done today so that I could have a relaxing weekend :mad:

Vision de-fuzzed long enough for me to do some online shopping

Small double ottoman bed frame (£50 off) and mattress (1/2 price) bought for the newly decorated guest bedroom and a new mattress (also 1/2 price) for our bed

I was expecting £27.70 TCB but it has only tracked at £15.41 :huh:

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 12 (6 sold for £1.50, 6 given to a colleague in pre-exchange for some plums)

Rather than put in a claim for a lower than expected cashback I'm trying out TCB's Highest Cashback Guarantee which, if successful, will result in £29.35 cashback...

The cashback for the wardrobe still hasn't tracked :mad:

I was hoping for a lie-in this morning but... The Girls woke me at 05:40 and then I lay awake for an hour before deciding it was pointless and getting up. I may need a nap this afternoon!

Nothing excited planned for the weekend

Mr MWC has just updated me on his travel plans and menu-planning next weekend is going to be easy

Sunday evening until Tuesday evening - Mr MWC away
Monday afternoon until Wednesday evening - MWC away
Wednesday morning until late Thursday evening - Mr MWC away

He's also away Monday and Tuesday this week - it's lucky that most of my business trips are local this month otherwise I'd forget what he looks like!

I should be able to stick to my grocery budget though :rotfl:

Eggs IN 7 :T
Nearly a full house - Miss W took early retirement and Miss B hasn't laid since she was ill (not a bad thing - her egg-laying gear could do with a rest and we wouldn't be able to eat the eggs for another couple of weeks anyway)
Eggs OUT 3 (nicoise salad for lunch)

Just having a cup of tea and a slice of banana cake whilst thinking about doing some housework
