Mortgage Free by April 2017

Hi All,

I just thought I'd check in. October hasn't been a great month for saving, but a good month for spending which I know kind of goes against MSE. I have a work trip coming up abroad and I decided to book a show while i'm there, while not cheap the rest of the trip is paid for and that's how i'm justifying it in my head. I'm also keen to see how we can make more money this month. The items we have on ebay have a few watchers with 3 out of the 6 items having watchers. If the 3 items that have watchers sold i would be delighted. I think another trip to the garage is needed this weekend to understand what other treasures we can put up as well as have bit of a sort out really.
We had takeaway last night but we are stretching it, it did us both for dinner last night, my lunch today and both of our dinner's tonight...they were rather large pizzas so it's not a hardship to make the last:)
It's payday for the OH today with mine coming in a few weeks and I should have a bit more than normal due to a pay rise:)

Been thinking lately of any other ways of making some extra cash that we don't do....oh suggested i start my own you tube channel but i don't have anything to say or not into techy or make up stuff...and it seems like a bit too much work for me too. I shall keep thinking and see if I get any inspiration.

Our airbnb income is going well this month, there is always the fear that we might get cancellations but with the bookings we have in October this hasn't happened and we are due to make about £500 which I 'm delighted with.

Well that's about all for now. I will check in again soon:)

Oh that is amazing!! Excellent work, do you mind me asking how much you charge a night?

Nice work, I hope it all goes well. Extra money is always helpful!

Well we had a good weekend. Sold two items on ebay which probably comes to about £40 after fees and postage. Also sold a book on amazon so it's been a nice tidy side hussle weekend:) We have been trying to be really good with lunches lately as we both, more so myself, got into really bad habits of buying lunch out. Last week we made lunches most days and this week so far so good.. It's another large cc bill this month with our accommodation payment for our next years holiday coming out but we are still aiming to save our monthly target. Time will tell how we get on....

Also sold another item on ebay which will probably be about £4 after postage and ebay fees and I sold my wedding flowers for about £40 after fee. That's another £44 going straight in the savings pot:)
