One of the mystery shop companies paid me today so thats another 64.00 gone to the mortgage pot :beer: Working on my own figures this gets rid of June 2029 :j :j and using the new figures the mortgage company sent would bring it down to Feb 2029


Today I spent 2.50 on lunch and 3.20 on bread and milk etc. The alarm clock didn't go off this morning so it was a mad rush again :mad: :mad: Just off to get ds dinner, will update more later

Morning all, the sun is shining and it looks like being a lovely day

I need to nip to tesco in a bit before we go to Moors Valley to get some food bits as the food there is sooo expensive :rolleyes:
Had an early night last night as I felt really tired, but once I went to sleep two people decided to text me and wake me up :rolleyes: one of them was the guy I met and it looks like we're gonna be meeting again soon ... watch this space
