Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

Another beautiful day here

I already have one load of washing on the line and another one due to finish shortly.
Before I go back to work on Monday, I want to:
- Paint dining room walls
- Scrub floors downstairs
- Empty and clean conservatory
- Hoover new carpets - again...
This weekend, I also need to:
- Meal plan for September
- Bake a chocolate brownie & raspberry cheesecake and a (as yet undecided) savoury dish for our street party tomorrow
- Buy a mattress protector and fitted sheet for a small double bed
- Do some more gardening
OK, off to peg out the washing, followed by another mug of tea, then I'll think about doing some housework :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Dining room painted :T
It was just a freshen-up rather than a full makeover. We went a shade darker on the painted walls (now Dulux Night Jewels 5)
Off to do some ironing now

Wine drunk and leftover pizza from Thursday eaten for dinner

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 5 (in cheesecake)
Off to tackle the conservatory now... if I empty it now I will be able to clean first thing tomorrow before it gets too hot in there
I'm looking forward to shuffling money to the savings and mortgage tomorrow

Crikey MWC, you're on a roll today

No time for a lie-in Tilly (and Mr MWC will be exhaling stale beery breath on me so I won't want to stay in bed anyway...!). I am sitting down with a cup of tea now though

The next few weeks are going to be busy so I want the house to be spotless and then I only have to swish & swipe to keep on top of things

Cloudy here today which is a shame as it's our street party this afternoon

One load of washing done and pegged out
Money transferred to regular saver and a £500 MOP made from my current account :j
7p less interest on the joint flexdirect account this month - all because Mr MWC transferred some money out t his ISA before transferring some in from his account :mad: :rotfl:
