Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

I've made a start with 3 x nighties, 1 x bed jacket, 10 x knickers & 2 x jumpers in the bonmarche sale

I'm all by my lonesome Mr MWC has left for a 10-day trip to the US of A

My plan for today:

- keep busy!
- order large birthday cake for my great aunt
- meal plan & make shopping list
- go to Waitrose to use vouchers/coupons (and get free coffee!)
- laundry
- a little housework, nothing too strenuous
- clean chicken coop
- potter in garden (weather permitting)
- finish thank you notes
- check RMS and prepare items for posting this week
- think about work and make a list of priorities for tomorrow
- go for a walk

Wow, she's doing really well!

Clothes - my mum (aged 89 and three quarters) often buys at McC, or however its spelt now, which used to be McKays - since your aunt is so petite, their clothes might be good, a lot of their stuff is meant for young teens, so that might be the same as adult petite. For cardis, t shirts that double as vests, that kind of thing?

I was delighted to hear your good news, so pleased for you, and for Mr MWC. Happier than I can express here. And very good luck with all your goals for the future.

I've been a bit lacklustre today and, therefore, not been quite as productive as I had hoped

However,

- the sink is still shiny
- the kitchen floor is clean
- the second load of laundry is nearly done and I hand washed a couple of items
- no unnecessary spends at the supermarket but I did forget to look at my shopping list and consequently didn't buy fish fingers :eek: bang goes the meal plan :rotfl:
- it stopped raining just before it got dark so I was able to finish pruning my gooseberry bushes and raspberry canes
- I went for a 4-mile walk this evening - 13,000+ steps today
- Mr MWC has landed safely

I got this book for Xmas: http://www.firebox.com/product/7166/The-Geeky-Chef


- it has a 'recipe' for fishfingers and custard in (actually a mustard-y mayonnaise, I think, but that spoils the Dr Who reference!)

:cool:

First day back survived... although I did leave work early Not quite as focused and as productive as I had hoped but considerably better than I was before Christmas...

Last hamper gifted :T I think I'll give myself a few weeks off before I make marmalade for Christmas 2016

Sharesave a/c activation code arrived today just as the share price dropped 3% :mad: I could still sell now for a significant profit but have decided to hold on to them for a little while longer...
