Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Plans for today:

- Christmas present shopping
- Christmas card writing
- buy petrol (7p/L off + 10X nectar points)
- fill the wheelie bin with leaves from the front garden
- go for a walk (I'm participating in GCC Sprint and trouncing my virtual opponent )

Great planning with the petrol purchase

Do you not fancy making leafmould with your leaves? I admit, black plastic bags full of holes are unsightly!

Good luck on the sprint

I've tried before with more aesthetically-pleasing jute leaf mould sacks but the jute tends to rot before the sycamore leaves...

I will move some to the bottom of the garden for The Girls to rootle round in

Fairly successful shopping trip (including buying a Heston Blumenthal ham for £4 instead of £35 - £6 off a £30 spend coupon + £25 GV from a friend), now to tackle the rest of the list!

Wheelie bin full again and front garden christmasfied (large red baubles on a smallish real tree in a terracotta pot and a large terracotta pot filled with greenery, twigs pruned from the crab apple tree, red glittery twigs, cones and red baubles).

Now to make a start on writing the cards whilst watching a dodgy made-for-TV Christmas film

Ox cheek cottage pie (frozen leftovers) for dinner with roast sprouts and beetroot :drool:

Brilliant progress on the mortgage and well done too on tidying the garden in this miserable weather!

Really impressive

Only managed to write 2 cards BUT have done 17,000+ steps today

Just had a mammoth session logging recent purchases on CP - I'll be able to order a £10 voucher tomorrow :T

Mr MWC has written all the cards for his family :T
I'll finish my family tomorrow evening or Thursday morning...

I think we have gifts for everyone now; however, I still need to make lemon curd and cookies, and assemble 20 hampers... *cue panic attack*
