Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

Good morning
I'm going to take advantage of a favourable weather forecast today and spend a few hours pottering in the garden :T
Prune gooseberry bushes and apple tree
Tidy shed
Clean chicken coop
Hang out my washing
I also need to:
Prep and cook 2 batches of marmalade
Make split pea & ham soup
And if I can talk Mr MWC into going to the shops and buying some butter, I will use a few of the oranges to make seville orange curd.Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Eggs IN 3
Eggs OUT 8 (probably - 2 for lunch, 6 for seville orange curd)
My last RM survey sender pack was delivered today along with 24 x 1st class + 8 x 1st class large stamps and a classic children's TV stamp set (12 x 1st class) :T
Next-door neighbours moved out today - I hope the next tenants are OK (and have fewer cars :rotfl:)
French toast, fried bacon and maple syrup for lunch, split pea & ham soup for dinner :drool:
I forgot to put the marmalade on to cook so it it's going to be a late night
