Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

Busy, busy, spendy, spendy...

Dinner & a gig last night with a friend - it was his turn to pay for the ticket though so I only needed to pay for dinner (£25) and parking (£6)

Subsidised massage this morning (£7)

Facial tomorrow (£50 + tip)

Trip to London on Saturday to see The Big Yin (£££ - train, dinner)

Trip to visit Great Aunt on Sunday (££ - coffee, lunch etc and birthday cake for 50!)

Mr MWC's employer made approx. 15% of their employees (all US-based) redundant this evening :eek: Time to start job hunting methinks!

I've lost count of eggs this week...I think we've been getting 5/day, I've sold 2 boxes @ £1.50/box, I think Mr MWC gave his dad a box and ate 1 or more for lunch

Hey MWC, will MrMWC get to see any of the match tomorrow?

If Scotland start out how they ended in the World Cup and England do the same, I think it is going to be a very good match... with an assured Scottish victory! Whilst I'm hoping that the England team buck their ideas up and put up a glorious display of good rugby, it sure looks a promising fixture

Not sure i would like to be an English rugger fan in Billy's audience later if Scotland do claim victory #lightheatedbanterandgentlelegpulling

I'vejust made Memorygirl's Jamaican ginger cake - won't be needed until next week for snap, so plenty of time for flavours to 'meld'. Just waiting for the calzone (Leanne Brown's recipe) to finish off cooking and then i can put me feet up for the evening

Glad the girls are laying so well and productively Boo to redundancies at MrMWC's place - hope we don't catch a cold this side of the atlantic from the sneeze from t'other

Hope you have a great day/evening tomorrow

Yes, he will - appropriate venue (i.e. one that sells beer) in the vicinity has already been identified :rotfl:

Mmm cake... I've eaten too much cake already this year

The risk of working for a start-up HOWEVER he is very well paid for doing very little so it's good whilst it lasts

Mr MwC will walk into the next exciting challenge - Switzerland is a good country for his skill set isn't it?

I'll get planning our next holiday

Apologies for not responding to text, my phone isn't working

Much love Tilly x x

Switzerland would be an option! Or California :cool: Hoping not to have to relocate though as we already live within the London-Oxford-Cambridge golden triangle

Not worrying about redundancy - too busy planning summer holiday :j

A very large terracotta pot to replace the one just blown over and broken, even though it was really heavy and had a big plant it it :eek:. Blowing a hoolie on and off here :eek:.

Mr MWC has mentioned that he is considering phoning Virgin and dropping Sky Sports. I really hope he does (and downsizes the bundle) as the broadband/TV/telephone line rental is costing us £99.74/month + telephone usage charges :eek: Whether or not he actually does is a different matter...

Eggs IN 4
Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for a total of £2.75)

Me: "Have you cancelled Sky Sports yet?"
Mr MWC: "I wish I'd never mentioned it... I'm only thinking about it."

Back from a 2-day business trip to Scotland. Nightmare journey up - train delayed by 3+ hours due to major gas leak at Durham - so I'll be claiming delay repay of £40.50 today.

£5 L2S voucher received from a RM unaddressed mail survey and now up to £35 on OP

£208 spent on my car (service/brake pads/tracking) but they still can't find out why it's overheating Faulty sensor? I'm not willing to take the risk so I'll need to book it in with the dealer...
