Haven't really done much MMMing recently, been working heaps so I guess mending our finances
On a day off today so have done 3 loads of washing. All line dried and will shortly be minimising the ironing pile while watching a film.
Tea tonight was chicken salad using lettuce from the garden, very yummy. Made some croutons using the heels of some bread that have been in the freezer a while.
Noticed that the PJs I was planning to put on tonight have a wee hole in the knee so will mend them over the weekend.
Hope everyone has a good weekendMortgage 26.4.25 - £108,500 1.7.25 - £106,653.66
