Thanks Lois
I'll give them a ring tomorrow if it doesn't appear as we should get the 5% until 6 April.
Mr MWC's monthly contribution to the joint a/c hasn't been transferred from his FD a/c either so I can't make a MOP yetMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Is his contribution necessary to qualify for that month? Or does missing it mean you've not paid in enough during Feb?

Yes, my contribution is transferred in from another N/wide a/c so it doesn't count in the "you must pay in at least £1,000/month"Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

. Realised this morning that one of mine expires this month. I'll drop them a note as I know you can open another but think you need to leave a gap? Am getting a bit wary of the number of credit checks being done though!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

How annoying. What's up with FD?
No idea - I'm wondering if Mr MWC set it up to transfer money on the 30th of each month and of course February doesn't have 30 days...
I'll have to wait for him to sort it...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I think she is lacking a few brain cells - she's definitely a bit fick :rotfl:

Aww, sounds like my kind of girl ... Am starting to think I run a home for special needs chickens ... they all seem to be complete bird brains around here except for Mabel The Hunter (think the clever Velociraptor in Jurassic Park and you'll know the moves I mean)!muddywhitechicken wrote: »The second half of the month wasn't very good at all
1. 20 NSDs 20/20 but only because I sent Mr MWC shopping a couple of times!
2. Empty the freezer (contents listed below) not quite but a decent attempt
3. Walk 75 miles 35/75 must try harder...
4. Make time for mindfulness every day 28/28
5. Lose 7lbs 0/7:o:o
6. Wash face before bed every night 28/28 still not a habit though - I had to get out of bed the night before last because I had forgotten... and my skin doesn't look any better for it either.
MWC, I know I have a warped sense of humour (too many years in classrooms with 12 year olds) but is it terrible of me to find it hilarious that your "my skin doesn't look any better for it either ..." comment was immediately followed by this ....

Seriously though, impressed by your success. Will be joining you in the cutting out of choc for March, I don't eat much of it but I just don't burn enough off so will up the exercise, cut the choc and hope for some success around the middle (literally)!
Look forward to seeing your March goals!Stash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!
