Making chicken feed of my mortgage

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...

... he said he didn't want the temptation :rotfl:

We're not married to the same person are we :rotfl:

He said something very similar when I moved mine to 6 x. The change had to be done over two years but I thought it was a good idea.

Not quite the way I want to achieve MF but good to know Mr T and the kids would be well cared for financially

Hi again, does this mean the big girls have accepted Miss LRH and she now feels part of the gang?

I'm not sure how chickens work in terms of relationships and laying when they are happy etc. I don't think I would feel like laying an egg (smarts a little), if I wasn't a happy chicken

Best wishes again - Tilly x

I decided to stick at 5X - enough to pay off the mortgage and buy Mr MWC a fancy car - as we don't have any kids to provide for

Yes, the newbies are part of the flock now

8 eggs again today :T although one clumsy hen has stood on Miss LRH's egg and broken it

Financial news:

- share money cheque cleared
- share money temporarily moved to "holiday" account as that is the one with the highest interest rate (2.6%)
- decided to upgrade our joint current account to FlexDirect (previously I only upgraded my account) - £2,500 to be transferred back once upgraded (8 April)
- Mr MWC has received the details for his new FD account so I will set up a SO to drip feed his regular saver with £300/month
- £5,760 to be transferred to Mr MWC's ISA in the new tax year

I sold 2 boxes of eggs yesterday and another 2 boxes today = £6.25 for their new roof fund

Celeriac, apple & blue cheese soup for dinner :drool:
