Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Oh dear... Miss B is having a very loud tantrum because she wants to lay an egg right now and Miss LRH is in the nestbox... there is room for 2 but she doesn't like to share!

The neighbours are going to love me

Take your time LRH, don't be rushed. Reading the newspaper while you're sitting there is probably not a good idea though .

Yesterday's spending spree yesterday reminded me that I ordered some seeds from Sarah Raven in the Autumn. I've hunted high and low and finally found them this evening So tomorrow I will be sowing Emilia javanica Irish Poet and Venetian sweet pea mix along with some borage seeds that I also found.

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 6 (£1.25)

Asparugus, courgette & pea risotto for dinner

Looking forward to another early night and a lazy weekend

My blinking dogs dug my sweet peas up last year :eek::eek::eek: I was so cross but they wanted to bury their treats in the pot on the patio - lovely large pot with wigwam to provide scent and colour whilst sitting at the table - no they said, pull the plants out, chew the bamboo and leave our bone pot alone :rotfl:

It's time they were up by now :rotfl: so you're just performing a neighbourly service instead of them needing an alarm clock

It's beautiful sunny morning here although cool and still breezy - BBC weather says the sun will be gone by 11 and it's going to rain on and off all afternoon though

I need to buy some multi-purpose compost today. I'm not sure that I can resist a £5 off if I spend £45 voucher in the garden centre so I will probably buy it from the supermarket... or send Mr MWC :rotfl:

We've received a letter from our electricity supplier titled Notification of an amendment to your monthly Dierect Debit which immediately filled me with dread after reading Ed's post :eek:

"Following a much colder winter blah, blah, blah, we have reviewed all our customer's accounts blah, blah, blah.

Your direct debit level is currently too high. We are changing your monthly Direct Debit to £34."

Phew a £6/month reduction :j Not sure we will be so lucky with the gas but hopefully any increase will be less than £6/month!

So much for the weather forecast - in the time it has taken me to write this post, the sun has been replaced by cloud

:rotfl:No great loss Tilly - my sweet peas were terrible last year due to the weather

Mr MWC wasn't best pleased - he stumbled downstairs, made tea and toast, sat down and then looked at the clock... 07:15... he doesn't get up until at least 08:30 at the weekend :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Still not raining here :j

It's not very warm though - Mr MWC made leek & potato soup for lunch!

Eggs IN 8 :T
Eggs OUT 1 (Mr MWC had Miss LRH's double-yolker as a fried egg sandwich)



Plants IN 1 (a bright pink carnation, £2, for my hot border) I blame GG

Hehe - most people actually have a timer for their boiler - therein lay the rub

That double yolk egg looks fantastic, it must be lovely to have your eggs come from so close to home.
