Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Fortune_Smiles

Wow! Amazing over payment total Muddy. I shall be making our first over payment on the new mortgage soon so I think I will steal your idea for my own signature

If only Apple...! The £5,000 I transferred yesterday just takes us below £30,000

Me and my pesky speed-reading... or I could blame it on the new specs...

Instead, I went and edited my post, to pretend I hadn't got it wrong! An then you quoted me so my error lives on...!:rotfl:

Oops bad MWC - sorry Apple!

Fantastic progress in here, well done.

Thanks SJ

I'd taken my foot off the overpaying pedal a little but I've decided that I want the mortgage gone by my 50th birthday (2 years & 9 months).

A spendy day today: £298 at opticians (£516 before 2 for 1 frames and lenses discount :eek:), £41.50 on plants (), £163.50 M&S (but at least £54.50 of that will be refunded as I'm trying shoes in 2 sizes) and £12.50 on wild bird food.

More salad leaves picked from the garden - now at £1.16/bag with plenty left to pick

Monday - Sicilian roast chicken with fennel and blood oranges

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yummmmmmmmmmmmmm :drool:
That was mighty fine eating and a real treat for a Monday evening :T
Recipe tweaked slightly to make it diet-friendly :A

£84.50 spent at the dentist (check up & hygienist) this morning but as I've already submitted the claim, it was essentially a NSD.

So nice to see you back:D. Your meal plans always sound amazing!

I too am in awe of your op total :T

Hello :wave:

There are not enough hours in the day, I need to quit working! (Actually I am seriously considering going back to college in September 2020 (aged 49 & 3/4) to study for RHS qualifications in horticulture although that does seem an awfully long time away...)

My garden is looking lovely; well apart from a few bare patches in the lawn resulting from overexuberant use of an electric rake/scarifier thingy - oops :whistle:

There isn't much money saving going on here. I was seduced by the SR catalogue and the 20% Chelsea week discount (+5% TCB!) and spent £60 on container plants

We're still eating endive, chard and rocket from the winter salad leaves although I don't include them in the official figures: I picked 42 large bags of mixed salad from the garden @ 86p/bag :T

My big focus at the moment is on diet and exercise. I've lost 10 pounds since 1 January (16 pounds if you include the 6 pounds I gained in the first 3 months of the year ) and I'm nearly back to my goal weight. I'm averaging 15,000 steps/day (anyone else doing the GC?), pilates twice/week, gym 3-4 times/week and dance fit once/week.

I can't think of any new recipes to share - sorry Greying - we've been eating old favourites. Planning to cook Diana Henry's Greek chicken on Sunday.

Finishing this quick update with some sad news - Miss LRH III and Miss B II have gone to the big chicken coop in the sky since my last post We're thinking about getting some replacements on our return from holiday although Miss Nasty Pecky Chicken is still with us and she will be horrible to any newbies
