I'm soooo jealous. We are thinking of uping our mortgage (so we can move) rather than knocking bits off. Doh!Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

That will probably feature in my plan somewhere along the way too Twinklie, but as a single parent who only works part-time and therefore has a very small monthly salary I am limited to who will give me a mortgage, so the smaller I can make it the more chance I have of upgrading to somewhere with a garden one dayMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Good for you - that is such a big difference you are perfectly justified in being excited.

Morning
I've checked my quidco this morning and I was due 160.00 to be paid out this month, but it now says only 21.00 of it will be and the rest will roll over to next month :mad: This includes my contents insurance, car insurance and that Abel and Cole offer :rolleyes: Hoping it comes next month instead
This morning I have a mystery shop to do and I am going to return those Primark pj's / dressing gown. Then back home to sort out some matched bets, tidy up a bit, meal plan before doing 2 mystery shops tonight. I did the food shopping yesterday and spent 44.00 :eek: (budget 37.00), this dieting lark is expensive :rolleyes:

OMG....benben your far too organised. See this is why you are doing so well on your mortgage challenge. Keep going and keep being sooooo motivated. I'm hoping if I keep reading your blog long enough (ignoring that ours might increase) it will rub off on me!

Wowzer, all of it into the mortgage pot - you *are* going to do the £50k by the end of the year thing, aren't you! I want to do a matched bet today, but I'm really tired, and frankly I'm scared of making a big mistake on it all. We'll see. Didn't think about checking up on quidco, off there now!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Right, first matched bet is done, been to Primark and swapped it for pj's
, also popped into a book shop and picked up a couple for ds xmas stocking. Time now for some brunch and then crack on with a bit of housework
I have done a couple of qualifying bets on todays football and once they finish (4:45) I need to put one more on the later matches today which should then complete that matched bet
Oh, and I realised I will be able to watch strictly before I have to go and do the other mystery shops tonight, happy days
