Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Hurrah I'm home :j

No hot water at the hotel this morning :mad:

Another 13 little hats finished in the airport/on the plane

£5 L2S voucher received from RMS :T

Yummy (animal-free!) roast squash, rosemary & butter bean soup for dinner

Welcome home!!
I missed an earlier post and so was temporarily convinced you were knitting little hats for your hampers - but understand now!
Hope you have a good hot bath / shower - and that you complained at hotel and got a free future stay ...

I was just about to complain when she mentioned that I was on a special discounted business rate and, as I wasn't spending my own money, I decided not to bother.

I now have 36 completed hats for The Big Knit - not as good as last year but theoretically I still have more time...

Mr MWC informed me that he had a "spare" £2000 in his current a/c :exclamati:exclamati:exclamati so he has transferred £1000 to his S&S ISA, given me £500 for the mortgage (so close to the 60s :T) and is saving £500 for Christmas presents

I was flying BA from Heathrow - both airline and airport are OK with knitting needles in hand luggage :T

I've never had any problems flying United to US destinations either

Actually the biggest problem is explaining what I'm making when the cabin crew ask me... little hats to keep smoothie bottles warm in the fridge makes me sound like a right nutter :rotfl:

5 days to pay day and sharesave day :j
Based on current price, my shares are currently worth £975 more than I estimated a few weeks ago :T
*fingers crossed* the stock market doesn't crash before I can sell them...

Eggs IN 4

Are you sure? After all, the truth is actually that they are being knitted to support Age UK to help keep senior citizens warm this winter........ I can just see the cogs whirring wondering how those hats are gonna fit said senior citizens.......... :rotfl: Mmmmm 'When fact becomes stranger than fiction'...... :think:

Love your hamper contents and decorations MWC - beautiful and thoughtful, as ever. Presents that show the recipient is cherished, given the level of thought, hard work and attention to detail that you expend on each hamper :T
