    Post away Ihatedida, at least i know i am not talking to myself and i love to here about everyone else's progress too:j.
    That must be a nightmare with the neighbours, i am sure it causes an awful atmosphere for you. I think sometimes people underestimate how important it is to have good neighbours. At least thats another incentive for you to get rid of the mortgage, i think it gives us all so much more freedom of choice. Well done on the o/p, porsha pig is obviously doing the trick:T.
    Got a bit carried away in tescos today, the girl was just filling up the whoopsie shelf as i passed...........so i couldnt resist a bargain......on the plus side the two freezers are full to bursting:D.
    Going to a friends house for dinner tomorrow night and i have to say i am so looking forward to getting a meal cooked for me, for a change:D
    Have a good weekend everyone

    Just rang for an updated balance (its now becoming an obsession - think I might need to start my own thread!) - its now £125,769.41 ;)

    A meal cooked for you...wow thats a treat (and deserves the extra cash you'll be saving to be added to the piglet!!!!) - have a lovely night tonight! :T

    Just a quick update folks as i have been a bit quiet lately.....

    Have had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and just trying to get my head round it at the minute.........trying to focus on the the two perfect children that i do have and i am so grateful for them.
    The MFW thing has obviously taken a back seat for the time being but hopefully will be feeling better soon.
    Hope everyone is doing ok.

    Thank you everyone for your messages, you are all such a lovely bunch :A. Things are going ok, had a good talk with oh last night (and a good cry) and feel a lot better and more positive now.
    The food budget has completely went off the rails as we have practically lived in the local chippy or KFC all week, so i have decided that march will be new start on the budget.
    We have a severe lack of storage in our house and there is nowhere to put anything and it is driving me crazy:mad: .
    Me and oh set out yesterday with the plan of buying a £50 chest of drawers out of argos, but got a tad carried away and ended up in a furniture manufacturing showroom and spent over £1000 on bedroom furniture :eek:.
    I know it is a lot of money but we have spent so much over the years on crappy wardrobes and drawers that the a** falls out of that i could scream- i think everyone has bought these flatpack sets at some stage...........maybe its the way me and oh build them .....:rotfl::rotfl:.
    So i am classing this purchase as a longterm investment:D

    There are quite a few bills that need paying this month but i really want to be on target for the MFiT-T2 challenge so will do my best to keep up the overpayments. Total overpayments for February were £240 :D.
    Thanks again everyone
