MWC - did the borage flowers do their 'thang' in the..... now was it p1mms or g&t? - can't recall...... ?

YAY to broody chickens and garden projects We spent the afternoon in a garden yesterday - wonderful when there's seating, colour, scent, movement, produce........ :cool: Mind, we sat through 4 seasons of weather, but then we were in an english country garden at the height of summer, so what can you do? :rotfl:

I had a G&T with a borage ice cube yesterday evening - I needed it after my walk-train-underground-train-walk + plants journey home...

It has been a good day (although I was too busy to research plants ). I spent £2 last month to enter a Euro 2016 predictor competition... and I won £100 :j:j:j

Day 4 - ISQ

Eggs IN 2
Eggs OUT 13 (1 box sold for £1.50, 4 used in batter for a toad-in-the-hole, 1 eaten by my aunt for lunch, 2 used to make a banana cake for my aunt)

Hello :wave:

Mr MWC and I don't argue but we did "have words" this evening about the sodding internet/tv bill... he still hasn't done anything about it and when I asked him to at least cancel Sky Sports before he goes away for 11 days he said there was no point now because he'll be watching it again next month :mad: !!!!!! it costs more than the mortgage :shocked: :mad:

My aunt is visiting from Canada and I drove her to see my great aunt on Tuesday. It wasn't a good day - a 3 hour drive each way (100 miles) due to bad weather and even worse traffic on the motorway, and then my great aunt didn't recognise us or her father/brother/husband in old photographs

In better news, we've received a share dividend of nearly £300 :T

Day 7 - she's still sitting on the hatching eggs but only 5 now - we think she ate one :eek:

No need GG... without any more nagging from me, Mr MWC phoned our supplier and negotiated a £27/month reduction :T

I've received a full refund for a tree that has green leaves instead of the advertised purple leaves :T Unfortunately I bought it (as a bare root twig in 2014) for a really good price and it's going to cost me quite a lot more to replace it :doh:

£300 dividend and a £27pcm reduction is great work - really well done

Thanks r_t - we've managed to reduce our monthly outgoings by >£50

It's tempting to sell some shares as they're at a 52-week high (probably longer!) but with such a good dividend it makes sense to keep them.

Eggs IN 2
Eggs OUT 14 (2 boxes sold for £4, Mr MWC scrambled 2 for his lunch)

I'm home alone now for 11 days so lots of MWC time!

* early nights
* healthier eating (portions sizes and snacking have been on the increase as has alcohol intake )
* gym every day
* at least 15,000 steps every day

Plans for the rest of the day:

* meal plan
* gardening
* garden planning
* long walk (I've already been to the gym :A)
* housework?
