Was Mortgage Free until 52!!!

Afternoon all, lovely sunshine day here, so up with the larks this morning, getting stuck into the usual housework;bed changed
washing on
& hanging up
dishes done
fridge cleared out
bathroom cleaned
parcel for the bay posted
shopping done
flowers bought (mothers day)


and still loads to do ..............


still in the mood for baking, but can't quite decide to bake, but bought a load of ingredients for them all, choice between,
Clootie Dumpling,
Millie's Cookies (White chocolate with raspberry's)
Empire Biscuits
Banana & Walnut loaf or the "Famous"
Jamies Hummingbird Cake - oh, no forgot the cream cheese :doh: Oh well maybe keep that one for Easter.

Received my mortgage statement in last week (forgot to mention it) as was slightly disappointing - I had made more o/p since it was printed - but now know what you mean by needing TNT to deliver it :rotfl::rotfl:


Oh and just remembered about my Tesco Tidy account, the d/d had not been paid in, so set up another (thought the 1st had not worked) then phoned them and they assured me there was only 1 "live" d/d which would be taken off on the 3rd so to watch my account - I did - and 2 d/d were taken off.


It was only my H@lifax "free" money, so doesn't really matter - however the "free" money hasn't been paid into my H@lifax account - another phone call needed. So what with the bay monies, interest received, TT's and d/d's I now have nearly £40 in there


Feel an o/p coming on but not on a Saturday, too stingy for that :rotfl:

Another lovely sunny morning, so another washing done and hung out this time.

Have been checking my bank accounts, and my nearly defunked isa's, in 1 I got a whole 1p interest:rotfl:and the other wasn't much better:( still a whole lot better than the account I have had since starting work, though - where I get nothing, zilcho, for being with them for around 40 years.


As :money: says, don't !!!!! - Switch and i,m getting to that stage


Have tried the TT thing, but don't think its going to work for me, and now all my accounts are neatly on an even, so don't want to spoil it, whereas if at odds, would just tidy off mortgage figure, so in a way works the reverse for me. TT my mortgage figures and not my bank accounts, think I will get on better this way.


Will still keep the tesco account for the "extras" I receive - the bay, interest, share bonus and the like, all extra monies I receive :rotfl: or save, (like a special offer - if I save something on it) I'll put into this account.

Lets try and see how that goes. So going to mess up 1 account, just have to decide which one and by how much. The only figure "messy" is my mortgage, so away to see what I can do with that:)

Sorry, think I've/I'm confused.

I like my mortgage to be even - nice neat and tidy, but I in the last 2 weeks or so, tried it the other way round - meaning I tidied all my accounts. Don't like it.

So I have now decided to go back to tiding my Mortgage figure, as it seems to work better for me, that way.
although I do confess to, one week tidying the total mortgage figure, then the next tiding the mortgage figure without the sub accounts - just depends :eek: I hope you can follow this :)Mortgage figure was 29,736.54 and thought this time round I could o/p more than 36.54, so had a look at all account total.

Just made an o/p of £87.16, there all neat and tidy again. Much happier.

I'm with you on this one Ali-OK

Edit - :rotfl::rotfl:99,999 is a neat number to me, often when I reach the next thousand down, I will o/p the extra £1 just to see the thousand figure change :rotfl::rotfl:

Doing well AFK and with decent paying accounts - that's one of my next steps too

OPs on a weekday only for sure!

What did you bake/make in the end?

Sorry posts crossed, and I missed this one.


and for me o/p only on a Mon-Thurs so long as its before 3.00pm - their cut off time for the day, which means if I o/p Thursday 4.00pm I wouldn't see the result till the Monday :eek:


Ended up going out for an early dinner with mum and brother, so no baking Still I now have all the ingredients
