Making chicken feed of my mortgage

What's your interest rate on the mortgage?

Do you think you might clear it by the end of 2018...?

Amazing progress :j. Happy weekend .

2.25% apple (N/wide's BMR)

If we hadn't spent any money on home improvements this year... but now it'll be a push to clear it by the end of next year without selling shares or foregoing holidays (neither of which we want to do!)

It's a beautiful sunny morning here
I've already picked the remaining tomatoes and composted the plants - I love a bit of early morning gardening in my dressing gown :rotfl:

I'm letting Mr MWC have a lie-in as he didn't get home until 00:30 (it took him over an hour to get his suitcase :mad:). He returned bearing a gift - a bottle of yellow gin for the gin cupboard :T

Plans for today:

- Menu plan
- Shop wisely (I want to use our last £8 off a £40 spend coupon on meals for the week ahead and store cupboard items rather than on gin and sushi as in previous weeks...)
- Laundry
- Gardening
- A walk

There is nothing wrong with using vouchers to buy gin.

But I bet you might just try...

And I have visions of you having a rainbow-coloured gin cupboard!

Tonic perhaps but no gin (not this week ) No real hardship as we do already have 8 bottles to choose from! It won't be so easy to walk past the new sushi counter and we can quite easily spend £30 on sushi/sashimi for lunch

WOW. We would not have 8 bottles of gin for long.

I try not to drink when I'm home alone and Mr MWC has been away a lot this summer!

Last of yellow courgettes, golden beetroot & victoria plums picked along with some orange habaneros, radicchio, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries & pears

I let Mr MWC sleep until 10 but he looks like he'll need a nap this afternoon zzz

smallholdingsister

Very wise. I think we might have blueberries.
