    Morning everyone, happy new year :).

    I think my aims for the year are quite big, I want to fill my ISA like Maria (we've basically got the same amount left). Then I need to pay £1400 off of my overdrafts by August, but I don't want to take any money from my ISA to do it. When I've done that I want to fill my ISA for the 09/10 tax year.

    Also, I want to start the jewellery business and possibly get a decent job, or at least one I don't hate to give me some extra money. Oh, and I want my free TV and to be money neutral present wise as much as I can be.
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    HA PPY NEW YEAR!!!! :j :j :j

    Hope its a great one for you all!

    My aims are to stay debt free, save as much cash as possible, make as much cash as possible, and try lose a bit more weight. I am going to weigh myself Saturday and go from there.

    I am back to work tomorrow too, don't see the point of opening on a Friday, bit gutted esp as OH is off still :rolleyes:

    Plan for today is to do a few dooyoo reviews and maybe write some and store in Word, i am up to £16ish now :)
