Making chicken feed of my mortgage

I succumbed to the T&M flash sungold tomato seed sale!

Even though it means I won't make my target of 25 NSDs this month, I think I've got a fairly good deal

- Sungold tomato seeds reduced from £2.99 to 49p
- I also ordered 'scarlet' kale, 'rainbow beet' beetroot, British basil, pennisetum glaucom 'purple majesty', larkspur 'kingsize scarlet' and Californian poppy 'red chief' seeds
- the larkspur seeds were free
- I went through TCB
- I used a £10 GV that T&M sent me last year

Cost to me = £2.49 (incl. £1.95 P&P) :T

T&M TCB tracked at 30p

Now I've started spending I can't stop!

I've just bought a Boden t-shirt for 20p using a 15% off + free delivery code and a £10 GV they sent to entice me back :T
Their ploy failed - I didn't look at any of the lovely things just a plain white t-shirt :rotfl:

Loving Miss. Marjorie ... my hens are named after our nans, but I also had an aunty Marjorie, so I think I could easily adopt her! Fabulous!
Well done with the tom seeds btw, may point OH in that direction in a bit! [COLOR] :T

Good evening habibiboo

The next 3 will be named after my paternal aunts. My cousins are disappointed that I don't already have a Miss Ada, a Miss Grace and a Miss Gwen :rotfl:

Eggs IN 3
Eggs OUT 2 (Mr MWC had egg mayo sandwiches for lunch)

A spendy day today - £32 at hairdressers + £40 petrol from personal spends and £6.82 from the grocery/chicken treat budget (now at £12.26/£40)

I've received 3 tax calculations from HMR&C but only 2 cheques... looks like another rebate is due :T

I found a recipe for chunky apple, marmalade & whisky-soaked sultana cake that looks lovely. I have all the ingredients (well I will have if I grind some flaked almonds that need using up) but I'm not sure that I want to use most of my butter and all of my eating apples... it's to take into work and I'm not sure that they will appreciate it!

I also have all the ingredients for a batch of cranberry, pecan & white chocolate chip cookies... but I wouldn't be able to eat any/would break my resolution if I ate any...

Decisions, decisions

I did make a decision about the last jar of HM lemon curd that needs eating ASAP - I will give it to FIL in exchange for him popping into waitrose for me (I have the free milk voucher but will be nowhere near a waitrose before it expires)
