    Hey Barneysmom - how are you doing saving up your £500?

    I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do it!

    PO xx

    But now I'm not - (Joint) Mortgage £104704.

    I'm struggling a bit I have to admit :o:D
    The gas bill was a shocker, and I'm thinking maybe I spoke too soon .

    Nope, we got to do it as we said we would and our word is as good as our bond an' all that.................(oh dear)

    I'm being very sneaky with food, getting cheap stuff, like the Smartprice and pretending it's best.
    Nobody's noticed I mixed a cheapo jar of coffee in the Gold Blend jar.

    To be honest though I am really lucky in my job. It's not very highly paid at all, but (end of) June payday comes as a 5 week month. So I should be able to snatch some from that.

    If we can pull this off, the sky is the limit. ;)

    How is everyone getting on? I think I'm resigned to having no holiday, but a staycation in Staffordshire ain't so bad :cool:
    I've got 2 weeks off as of Friday and not booked anywhere...........:)
