Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Not proper working now - just monitoring e-mails - bit stressed as US-based colleagues have left everything to the last minute...

Soaked in the bath AND did a hair conditioning treatment

Flicking through middle eastern recipe books now looking for recipes for the weekend - I had thought about making muhallabi (almond milk pudding) until I found out that the only thing our friends don't eat is blancmange!

I did suggest a cold rice pudding with rosewater, cardamom, lime, honey, almonds & pistachios to Mr MWC and his reaction was :eek::eek::eek:

Might need to make 2 desserts!

Bedroom 3 in GG's new house is "MWC's bedroom" and I sent her a tropical view animated new home e-card!

Mr T has just thrown half a walnut and pomegranate molasses sauce away - could be fish and chips instead :rotfl:

Don't worry, he has three more main courses on the go. He was going for five and I had to say STOP :eek::eek:

4 starters, 3 mains, 1 dessert - I think we might be over-catered :rotfl:

I think I did quite well

2016:
Loose change pots = £88.64
Nectar points = £95
Match & More vouchers = £25
Waitrose vouchers = £35
Love2shop vouchers = £42
(M&S giftcard = £20)

So by my calculations, I've spent £66.89 cash + £176 loyalty points/vouchers :T
£30.50 of that was on clothes for my great aunt and gardening stuff.
Mr MWC spent another approx. £20 on groceries in January (but didn't keep the receipts).
The cost of the chieftain haggis isn't included but all the other food for our Burns Supper for 13 people is included, as are the ingredients for today's meal with friends (£8 on fresh herbs for 1 dish :eek:)
