Feel free - I'm aiming for end of March - a long period as I have a weeks hol & long weekend to NY during this period (lots of :beer: & :EasterBun )A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Had a stressful day so had 3 packs of McCoys on the way home (in my defence they were 6 for £1 in Tescos so at least I didn't spend much 
.
I will weigh myself 1st thing in morning but won't post it on here - I will however be posting BLOBBY-2lbs etc, hopefully weekly :rotfl:
£200 from paypal and £10 mystery shopping into offset today :T .
Picked up another mystery shop £8 + £5 expenses (I may never need to buy batteries again at this rate ).
Egg still not showing reduced balance on mortgages. They have applied interest but not credited payments
. I messaged them and they replied telling me my balances (doh, I can see those) and saying payment has been credited. No it hasn't!!!! Wrote a long detailed reply, which crashed :mad: . Will phone them tomorrow instead.
Need to get up at ridiculous o'clock to catch a flight so better pack bag & get an early night.

:rotfl: Interest rate just been cut by 0.5%, lets have some wine & nuts to celebrate _party_ .
Euro up to €1.12, lets have some wine & nuts to celebrate _party_ .
Have spoken to Egg & the balance is correct - it appears they double credited me last month, which sort of rings true, will check figs when I get home tomorrow. Lets have some wine & nuts to commiserate :rotfl: .
I've just checked into hotel prior to going to next appt. later this afternoon & have got a voucher for a free glass of wine - so no cost, and no calories as it's free .
Going to check for some mystery shops then return some stuff at M&S (while it still comes off this month's statement)A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
