Making chicken feed of my mortgage

What do spreadsheets know...

What does the scribble on the napkin say?

The scribble says buy more shares, pay more into pension?, don't forget about the 0% CC and have at least 2 holidays!

I love it :j

What a beautiful autumn morning - windows open to let in some fresh air and 3 loads of washing pegged out

No pleasurable pottering in the garden today though as everything's done that needs to be done... instead we need to dig out the chicken run/replace the wood chip and power wash the chicken coop. The shed could probably do with a tidy as well if we have time.

Mr MWC is doing his first 2 hour run this morning so I am on standby in case he needs rescuing!

Pay day tomorrow :j I much prefer being paid on the 25th than on the last day of the month

After paying my hairdresser £40 yesterday, I had to take the scissors to it myself this morning :eek: My hair didn't want to hang the way she cut it and I had random longer bits...

Mr MWC didn't need rescuing :T although he did have to walk the last 1/2 mile (uphill)... and his legs weren't capable of digging this afternoon!

I did the food shopping whilst he was out. I also popped into Home Bargains for treats for The Girls - spinach (99p/450g) and mealworms (99p/100g) - and coastal sunrise pansies (£1.29/6) for me The colours are stunning - deep blue, ruby red and peachy gold, all with black markings.

And I got absolutely soaked power washing the coop :rotfl:

I've been paid :j
And, due to a tax code change, there's £104 more in my bank account than last month :T

Really dull day at work as I'm not very busy I even did an online mandatory training course on the day it was released :rotfl: Of course now I'm kicking myself that I didn't work on the sodding book chapter... must try harder tomorrow!

10 days until our next holiday :j

This evening I have baked the free-from chocolate avocado cake for a Macmillan coffee morning - I'll make the frosting tomorrow evening

Mr MWC treated us to a 1/2 price copy of the new HFW veg cookbook and is currently flicking through it and drooling :drool: At least 75% of the recipes will be making it onto our meal plan in the coming weeks and months :T

Our overpayments in September have resulted in the interest dropping by over £10/month to £78.69

Wow. That's really impressive. Our monthly interest is only a little less than that.

Waving at you as you sail away into mortgage free ness.

:wave: back from a lovely, albeit spendy, long weekend visiting friends in Philadelphia Mr MWC had his photo taken at the Rocky statue and ran up the "Rocky Steps" :rotfl:

We've received the quarterly dividend from Mr MWC's shares (~£300 x4 on ~ £24,000 of shares :T). Funds to be transferred to MOP holding a/c.

The autumn/winter salad leaves are growing really well and I've already picked the equivalent of 5 large bags of prepacked salad (I'm keeping count to see how cost effective it is - currently £7.19/bag...!)

And finally, Waitrose have sent us some more £8 off a £40 spend + £5 off a £25 spend on wine coupons :T
