Making chicken feed of my mortgage

At long last I have a mortgage spreadsheet... and now I can't stop playing with it :rotfl:

If we OP £1000 per month every month for the next 7 years, we will be mortgage free just before my 50th birthday :T

Mr MWC says we can go to the Maldives for my 50th birthday :j

I'm alternating between being quite productive and very lazy today

Dinner tonight was another recipe from my RC wish list - winter stir fry (carrot, parsnip, sprouts, mushrooms) with Chinese five spice - superb

I've given up trying to darn the hole in my favourite cashmere cardie so tonight I will be ironing on and stitching elbow patches!

What a good idea. I always get them under the arms. Patches would look a bit daft there.

5-root soup with bacon - no tick yet but again this is a recipe we make frequently

Spelt salad with squash & fennel
Roasted parsnip, puy lentil & watercress salad
Warm salad of mushrooms & roasted squash

Hi MWC

Just catching up.

Congratulations on your award (and the vouchers).

Nice haul from your Dad's - hope you have got places to put it all. My wedding dress is still in the loft - I really must get a proper box to put it in (3 1/2 years on).

Meals sound yum...I wish I could get DH to eat veggie occassionally.

Hi MCI :wave:

We both :heart2: vegetables (although not as much as my brother - he's vegan!) and even when we do eat meat it is only a small portion

Mr MWC: "I'll have quite a bit of money left at the end of the month."
"About £1,000."
Me: *Looks expectantly*
Mr MWC: "Yes, you can have it!"
