Thank goodness for maths, since MrsG is clearly not up for a science experiment! 😂 Visual would still have been better though...

Yes thanks, being even more lazy than usual, but with better food! 😆
A couple of quiet days with some family zoom calls and quiz games.
Hope yours was just as relaxing!If it's not adding up, compound it!3 -
I'm having a very relaxing time. We saw extended family Christmas Day which was lovely. I have begun a new novel too and am on Chapter 4 already so really pleased with how it is going. The first chapter seemed to just flow out of me in a rush so I was thrilled. I have to keep busy. Not back working until next Monday - and even then will be from home. DH not back at work until 7/1.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I'm trying to hide from Turkey...
MrsG did a lovely Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, so I now look like a human Xmas pudding...
Boxing Day was Turkey in gravy with the fried left over veggies.
Sunday was Turkey soup...
Monday was Turkey sandwiches...
Today will be curried Turkey...
I think we're then freezing the remainder as portions so we can fondly remember Turkey-geddon in the future...
Don't get me started on the boiled ham...
(It was a turkey crown to feed "up to" four people. I've christened it Christine... It never seems to shrink.
I think it snacks on other things in the fridge during the night...😱)If it's not adding up, compound it!10 -
Are you sure it's not compounding while you're not looking? 😉
Merry (belated) Christmas! Hope it was a good one. 😊MFW: Starting balance, Jan 21: £102,950

Love it. We are alternating between turkey and roast pork. My turkey said feeds 2-3 and I bought 2... There are 4 of us.... Lots left even though I only bought the crown...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thanks both, safely portioned and frozen!
It was nice and quiet thanks.
Looking forward to next year's, when hopefully it will be in person rather than over a screen.If it's not adding up, compound it!1
