It's only the one finger Penguin and it wasn't so much painful as ouchy but the fact I couldn't get the bleeding to stop was a worry.
It's amazing isn't it! I must try harder for the rest of the year but at least I'm well into the xmas target.Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763

DS has reappeared complete with untouched tenner I gave him yesterday so that's going into the pressie fund too - what a sweetie he is
. Although he didn't sleep much at sleepover so raaaather grouchy.
I am becoming seriously addicted to the mortgage overpayment spreadsheet and have just been working out how much I need to overpay to get to my target of £55K by end of April:o.Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763

Money moved back from bingo site, went to visit my folks and drove the mile there and back which I felt quite guilty about until I nearly blew over when I got out of the car - has calmed down a wee bit now...
More spreadsheet analysis... think new mortgage target shall be 54K by end of May... will take some doing though as I will be saving to do the decorating at the same time.Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763

While sticking the batch cooked bolognese sauce on and cooking some pasta I put my bingo tickets on and just had a sneaky peak and I'm £20 already:j:j:j.
