Wirenth

MWC, if you are reading Tim Hale's book, may I recommend http://monevator.com/ , particularly the posts on passive investing.

Thanks Wirenth

The IFA is coming this morning for a follow-up appointment - I'm interested to hear what he has to say but won't make any decisions until I've finished reading!

Well done Mr MWC! Brilliant news :T

The white bean recipe sounds utterly delish :drool:

It's midday and I'm still in my dressing gown - I think I need a to do list (and a kick up the backside!)

Get washed & dressed!
Tidy the garden - it's been a bit neglected this month
Water the garden - we've not had enough rain here
Clean the chicken coop
Ironing
Check cupboards, fridge etc and meal plan

Mr MWC phoned the tax office on Friday to claim backdated pension tax relief (£1243 :T) and he also found out that there was a mistake on his P11D and he has been paying tax on his out of pocket expenses :mad: (tax code adjusted for the rest of the year)

On a 10-mile run this afternoon, Mr MWC tripped over a twig and landed in a nettle patch :rotfl:

(He really has been bitten by the running bug this year :T If you'd told me this time last year that he would be running 1 mile for fun, let alone 10, I wouldn't have believed you)

I been ruthless in the back garden and filled the wheelie bin - need to muck The Girls out now.

It does sneak up and grab you. I would never have thought Id be running either.
