I managed to hang on GG...

£3,750 from regular saver transferred to mortgage this morning as the interest rate dropped from 6% to 2%

FA now <£50,000 :j
Total mortgage now in the £130,000s :T

Alchemilla

Brilliant news! Well done.

Thanks Alchemilla

I've just shuffled our money, paid the bills and MOP'd another £1000 :j If we're sensible this month there'll be £500 more to MOP at the end of November :cool:

Go MWC :T:T

Enough of this MF stuff, how is LRH doing? Is she feeling the cold?

Thanks Tilly

Miss LRH is fine although she still has a bald patch on her wing where she gets pecked. She really is a lovely friendly little chicken

I'll post a new photo for you tomorrow!

Eggs IN 3
Eggs OUT definitely 6 possibly 12 (1 box sold for £1.50 and 1 box left on desk/regular customer e-mailed)

Mr MWC went horse racing today. He took £200 and came back with £110 - by the state of him (currently asleep on the sofa *rolls eyes*) he spent most of that £90 on alcohol...

Another 6 eggs out - leek, portobello mushroom, courgette & gorgonzola frittata with a mixed leaf salad for dinner using leek, mushrooms and salad from the veg box and leftover cheese from last weekend :T

I need to do a stocktake of the larder/fridge/freezer and do some meal-planning - we've been lackadaisical for the past few weeks

Good luck with the phone. We did this for mum, as well as having a large key pad. She still can't hear the phone, but can see to dial the numbers :rotfl:
