Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

I think The Girls were pleased to see me but, to be honest, they're pleased to see anyone with food! I threw them some mealworms yesterday and the cheeky/brave sparrows came down and stole some

I think I'm starting to run a retirement home for chickens...

Yesterday's egg count:
Eggs IN 3
Eggs OUT 0

I need to do a PB this weekend for the GCC... I'll try and squeeze in 31,000 steps tomorrow :cool:

Today I/we need to:
Finish the laundry (load 6 of holiday washing currently having a second rinse as I washed a tissue with a load of darks :mad: then only 1 more to do :T)
Buy more chicken treats (the neighbours were quite generous)
Go to the library
Pay in share dividend cheque
Check the bank accounts and make a MOP
Meal planning for next week
Grocery shopping
Sort out the freezer as I need to be able to get 1/2 a lamb in midweek
Attend family get together
Book our 2015 holiday to Vietnam :j:j:j

And I still need to catch up with your diaries...

Alchemilla

I see you bumped into my family while away.

Glad you are home safely.

£850 MOPd, £750 to holiday a/c (once cheque clears) :T

As we are ahead of target to have a mortgage of £99,999.99 on 31 December and as we have to pay the balance of the holiday before January 2015 payday, I have fiddled with the spreadsheet and reduced the MOPs for the rest of the year. All extra money will now go to the holiday account. We will then need to hammer the further advance in the first quarter of next year as the trip to Vietnam is supposed to be our reward to ourselves for paying it off!

Looking at your figures I've just realised we have the same end goal for this year MWC, to get below that £100k! Good to hear you're on target, we're plodding that way too, good luck, good luck!

Laughed about the cheeky sparrows, it's amazing how quick they can be. Perhaps your egg count will improve now that your girls have you back, they've probably missed you. x

I'm sure that Vietnam will be great fun MWC. My little sister went there a few years ago and she loved the plentiful, cheap food, the scenery and the availability of really nice textiles and dresses etc.

Good luck to you too Hbbb!!!

I wormed The Girls before we went away hoping that might improve the egg count but it hasn't

3/8 have stopped laying completely but I need one to die :shhh: before I can buy 3 new chooks... the good news for The Girls is that they all look fit and well

We're really excited ed

I have set myself a challenge to lose the weight I have gained over the last 4 years before we depart - my reward will be some made-to-measure clothes in Vietnam

:eek: Oh dear, not a useful state of affairs! Perhaps they'll pick up a bit soon? x

A busy day at the end of a busy fortnight - I'll be glad to go back to work tomorrow for a rest

We went for a walk this afternoon and I'm at 31,500 steps for the day - a GCC PB :j
I don't actually have enough energy to do that :rotfl:

Eggs IN 3
Eggs OUT 2 (dinner - nicoise salad with swordfish :drool:)

Morning MWC, your daily step count is amazing, I don't know how you find the time :)

Vietnam will be fab. We haven't been but have two sets of friends who have and the pics were beautiful.

Having M2M clothes will be a brilliant reward for losing weight. Are you joining SW or WW to do it, or just cutting down and exercising?

Hope the chooks sort themselves out
