I forgot I had some shares vesting at the end of this month. Not sure whether to sell them or keep them - tempted to sell and make an OP but my sensible head says keep (FTSE100 company, 5%+ dividend) ???
Courgette frittata & salad for dinner

Well done pet :j. And you're the only one laying proper colour eggs - none of this New Age nonsensemuddywhitechicken wrote: »

Edit: Keep the shares. Reinvest the dividend. You know it makes sense
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

And another one today :T but do they have yolks...?!
7 eggs in total today :j so it's easier to list the 2 hens who didn't lay - Miss Gladys and Miss W
Mr MWC made Sicilian pasta with cauliflower for dinner
I've decided to keep the shares but I'm not sure that I have the option to reinvest the dividend GG - it looks like the dividend from the last 3 years will be paid in my April salary

Apologies to Miss Gladys
She did lay yesterday - I just didn't find the egg until first thing this morning
I was supposed to be in Germany on business this week but the trip was cancelled... glad that I'm not travelling this week
but disappointed because I had scheduled in some time to go to my favourite home knick knack shop

I'm pooped!
Since getting home from work I have made 2 batches of chocolate & guinness cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing - my friend is starting her adoption leave tomorrow :j
Used Miss LRH's eggs - they have yolks now :T
Only 4 eggs today - Miss B, Miss M, Miss Beryl & Miss LRH
Cake mix and buttercream icing bowl scrapings for dinner :cool:
And Mexican Pesos and USDs ordered and paid for - holiday savings account now empty

I get 4X death in service benifit as standard and last year I paid a little extra for 5X. This year I have the option of 6X so I asked Mr MWC what he thought...

When are you off on hols? Looking at the weather forecast, I can see us sleeping at the airport tonight (or not sleeping in my case
) to make sure we get there

Luckily we don't fly until Wednesday so hopefully my only problem will be getting round the M25 in rush hour traffic!
Good idea to get to the airport tonight GG - we once suggested that to FIL, he didn't and he missed his flightMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
