A bit to add over last few days:
Monday:
2.33 profit from a DVD on Amazon
6.44 profit from an ebay sale
7.32 profit from Mystery Shop (I like RE for paying twice a month - feel I've got something back for all the shops I've done recently!)
My other ebay buyer is paying by cheque so that'll take a while to go through.
Then listed 5 items on ebay last night, old childhood toys I really don't want to keep and 4 other lots ready to go on on Thursday, will aim to make it 5.
Have received my £12 evoucher for HMV from test and vote at last too, and £20 of John Lewis vouchers from Pigsback - but only count when I use them to buy something and put the money from our current account that I would of spent on the item into my challenge account IYSWIM.
Off to do 2 mystery shops today (off work this week) so better get a move on.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
Overpayments to date - £79.62
Current Mortgage free date - January 20580 -
