Hurrah to wm being fixed without costing pennies. Not long to go now I've found now I'm df that it's actually hard to spend money as it's all my own. .. Very strange indeedDiary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

YAY!!! OF is back where yer been girl??!!;)
Get practising..it's coming soon!:T
Kerri...yes a relief and the DW is chugging on too so fingers crossed.
So busy few days at work but quick update:
- doing the TTs and fine tuning plans for the rest of 2014 and savings (oh yes!!:T:T)
- spending hardly anything at the moment altho I did let OH buy himself 2beers today...our dinner will have cost about 50p per person (lentil dahl, HM naans and rice).. So it only seemed fair :rotfl:
- OH gained some OT this week so another £500 to the good (March is ending with a nice flourish! and to think that I worried I wouldn't be paid off by then and would have to move the DFD back...just shows you how things can change .:D)
- OH doing lots of decorating bless him. He didn't want to pay someone so is doing it himself
- and last but by no means least, the sun is charging the PV panels so £3.38 to the good there. Not at all bad for a March day
Think that's it. A nice low spend relaxing weekend and an eve planned in front of the box. Yay!

The panels earnt us £3.38 so not bad. We have spent a grand total of £1.80 today...on a soft drink..made the kids wait until they got home for tea...and we all walked 4 miles rather than take a bus or the car...aren't I mean??:rotfl: but they survived;)

Hah! I did wonder when I wrote it Caz!!..but the great news is that OH took the panel apart, degreased a switch (apparently..I was reading upstairs :rotfl:) and its now working!! :T even if its only for a bit its marvellous, the repair man thought it wasn't worth repairing..but seems he was wrong
Today is a new day. Still feeling like the mojo has walked off but as on antibiotics that might be why. Can't wait to finish the course. So the sun is shining and I am getting organised for my last week of debtedness My last ever ever week..
With all the talk of ISAs etc after Mr Osborne's budget I am keen to start putting some money into an account but for now the mortgage is the priority so I will put some money as a safety net/offset into that. I plan on having £6k before the end of the summer.
Hope everyone has a good day. Simple tea tonight as we are all out so jacket potatoes..cheap and lovely it'll be
PS Does anyone hear from New Leaf anymore? Been meaning to ask for ages..did she head back States side?MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
