Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

Hello :wave:
As lovely as it is to spend time with family & friends, I'm REALLY looking forward to spending tomorrow at home/in the garden with Mr MWC & The Girls
I counted the loose change pots today - £68.72 So that's our grocery budget set for Frugal January: £120 of nectar points, £7 clubcard vouchers, £19 of love2shop vouchers (from RM surveys) and £68.72 cash :T
As the fridge/freezer/larder are groaning and as Mr MWC will be away for a couple of weeks, I'm expecting the budget to last well into February...

We've had a lovely day together
A lie-in and a lazy morning
Yummy HM turkey, leek & rice soup for lunch
A 5 mile walk this afternoon
A picnic tea of cheese & biscuits, pate, spicy pear pickle and several glasses of port followed by Christmas pudding soaked in Grand Marnier & candied orange peel ice-cream :drool:
We popped into the butcher whilst out & about and ordered a chieftain haggis for Burn's night :T

Oh, DS always goes to a Burns Supper A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

We met "that woman's" daughter and son-in-law for the first time today (thought it was about time as my dad's been seeing her for 2.5 years!) and they were very nice
Pay day tomorrow and planning some jiggery-pokery to end the year on a mortgage milestone
SIL's dog had surgery to remove a massive tumour today
I probably would have had him euthanised but it's easy to say that when you're not so emotionally attached...

Just been catching up on your news. I was very impressed with your to do lists before Christmas - you were amazingly productive!:)
Thinking back to the Christmases when we'd spend a couple of days at MIL's and then a couple of days at my parents. Now they are not around, I wish we could still do the visits. And as much as we loved them and enjoyed seeing the family ....... It was always nice to get back home and have a couple of quiet days!
Hope SIL's dog gets over the operation. If he gets a few more good months of life, SIL will be delighted, I'm sure:)Early retired - 18th December 2014
