my non-mortgage mortgage free journey

Morning all, we have mice in the roof :eek: they had mice here before so they expanding foamed all the gaps, so i'm away to get exanding foam so hubby can cut abit out and throw some poision in them seal it again.

Lending a friend £500 of my savings, she's good for it tho and will pay it back at £100 a month so my total will be going down.

Added £6.11 to my savings today thats a mixture of quidco and rounding my bank down.Just checked a different account thats due money on monday, there was quite a bit in it (it's my phone bill and ebay account) so i transfered all but £10 out of it so another £81.22 added.

I'm going to keep counting my savings as they are just the total will be minus £500.

My savings total stands at £2162.80

savings so far this month stand at £1253.11/£1250

Just popping a pork roast in the freezer them i'm away to b&q.

I need to fill my car this weekend, it's done a few big trips for the inlaws they have given us cash for desil tho.

OH OH OH look i reached my target with a week to go :j:j:j

Well done on reaching your target.

Shame friend isn't paying the loan back with interest

Well i didn't say that but she offered i didn't ask.

I got quite a few bargains clotheswise today, now my twins are only in 5-6/6-7 but i look around for cheaper bigger sizes, so i got a pair of age 10 jeans for £1.10 and a pair of age 7 shorts for £1.75 from sainburys now i know to some people that seem crazy but bigger sale clothes are hard to come by and jeans are dearer than that in charity shops, i also got my youngest a pair of shoes for £1.50 down from £6 in dunnes, going to order myself a few longsleved tops and a fleece from tesco at the start of next week as it's def time to start layering.


Oh yeah and i forgot to put the pork in the slowcooker so burgers and chips for tea-homemade ofcourse.

Sometimes I have rich months and poor months like that. This one is a poor one...last month ended up being rich by the end of the month even though it started out like a poor one!

You've done really well :T That is a really significant saving considering your income is £2k per month.

My months are generally the same except unlike everyone else we have more money on a 5 week month, but hubbys pays not regular so sometimes it doesn't arrive til the next week.


Ok so we think our dogs having pups we breed her a while back and she looks rpeg now, if so there due in 3 weeks, i must remeber i can't keep them.
