Today will not be an AF day
Just posted on the MFiT board, my original target was £25,400 (reduction in mortgage number 1). On Monday should have paid off
£.
.
I thought the target was pretty tough so am really pleased, especially as I 'borrowed' 9k for a car (just over 5k still to pay back). My MFiT take 2 target won't be achieved so easily I think, but no point having an easy time of itMy own official target was to pay off all mortgages by time I was 55 but unofficially I was hoping for the time OH is 55 (18 months earlier, he is considerably older than me
). I said it out loud to him on holiday so I will need to achieve now. Need to start carrying duck tape for emergency use
MS has dried up at the mo but 1 job today so £10 for that.
Just spent £50 on ink :eek:, but that is 3 colour & 1 black cartridge, 10% off on site & 10% cashback to come.
Meal planning went v well this week although I ended up going out for lunch unexpectedly & forgot to bring soup home out of work fridge so that will be lost. Will be carrying on with it this week & have v small shopping list for today, plus a £5 Morrisons voucher. Cutting down cash I take out of bank as a result, which is just as well as I promised niece £75 towards some stuff for her baby due next month.
Need a few things from Boots so off there later - have coupon for use if I spend £20 so may stock up on some things, but my bubblebath is one of the few ones not on offerso will see if can get cheaper elsewhere.
Apart from that, a v quiet weekend, tidying & doing a few odd jobs, still, champers tonightA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Still here, but it's the quiet time of the month with not a lot happening. 3 MS yesterday, 2 today. £40 for kitty, plus tbags & loo paper.
Tried to book a weekend away this morning, error on site, now hotel was gone up £8 a night so won't book it as a matter of principle :mad:.
Still not drinking Sun - Thurs :A, did have champagne last night though (Asda special, OH bought it, insert banned roll eye smiley here).
Had a mouse (or mice) in garage, bought 2 humane traps, 1 was full this morning but mouse was dead :eek:. Must have died of fright or something. Chucked out trap, remaining one back in there tonight.
Will report back when something exciting happens.

Still nothing exciting to report
.
Am giving MS a miss for now - was busy last weekend, away this weekend & DD back the following weekend (& she'll probably nab them all anyway :cool:).
Transferring the frozen part of my pension is proving a bit problematic, need to chase up tomorrow.
Off to London for weekend, my job to find restaurants so off to research dealsA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
