Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Still not much money-related news from me as I don't get paid until the very last day of the month

1 box of eggs sold for £1.50

6 eggs laid today

Mr MWC made a delicious asparagus risotto for dinner using asparagus from the garden :cool: (well a couple of spears anyway the rest was from this week's veg box :rotfl:)

I :heart2: spring In addition to the seeds I planted last Saturday, I also have seedlings for 7/8 varieties of basil and the sorrel I sowed on Sunday :j

Hi MWC, you are having success with your sowings :T Are they in the greenhouse or are you using heated propagators?

Nice eggs you have there :T No two of them have the same colour shell. I buy farm eggs from my colleague at £1 for 6.

Hi US, my seeds are in an unheated but south-facing conservatory Today the runner beans and the final pot of basil have sprouted :T

Another 2 plants IN today - ivy to go in a patio pot and chaenomeles fire dance (quince) to grow up a fence - £3 in total from the garden centre at Morrisons. Please ignore what I said in Tilly's diary about shrubs being a waste of space :rotfl:This one has beautiful red flowers at a time when my herbaceous border is a little bare and will look stunning up against the black fence

£1 for 6 eggs is a good price - luckily for me my colleagues have more money than sense!!!

I paid £40 to be tortured this afternoon - my neck/shoulder/back deep tissue massage involved lots of yelping, face-pulling and muscle-popping, and now I just ache

I didn't do any of the spring cleaning I wanted to (mainly due to laziness!) - must try harder tomorrow

6 eggs laid

Sicilian pasta with cauliflower for dinner

I was a little more productive today:

- scrubbed bathroom
- mowed lawn
- home facial
- accompanied Mr MWC to John Lewis
- add Mr MWC's purchases to CP - I will be able to claim a £10 voucher tomorrow
- went grocery shopping and spent £101 :eek: (included £39 on 6 bottles of wine and £16 on 1/2 price Brita filters but I need to keep tighter control of spending in May )

7 eggs today

Afghan carrot hotpot for dinner

Brita filters are sooooo expensive aren't they. But the wine... that's more of an investment buy :rotfl:

Good morning Fortune

We're down to 5 bottles of wine already - drank a very nice bottle of Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Gavi yesterday
