    I'm surveyed out too when they crash that is awful, i wonder if they do it on purpose? onepoll seems to of gone quiet, just as I was approaching the 30 mark!

    Yay! £5 lightspeed today :)

    I sold the ebay item for £5 and did a second chance offer for the laptop as I realised it only got a final value fee so no point waiting for another free listing day. It was accepted so should have £50 coming my way! This could with the other item money be the £55 to take us down to £77800 :) Next will need to sell hubbys old laptop. Ending up taking work home this weekend but should be in for a slightly bigger pay packet, finger crossed :)

    Will update if this all goes to plan!!

    Right £54.90 is on its way!! This will be paid onto the mortgage- will have to hunt for the extra 10p :) should go in by the end of the week...and of course next week is payday!! Very excited about the last weeks of the year...hoping we can get to 71something before the clocks ding on 12pm midnight 2011, we'll see...

    Hubby and I did have a big mortgage chat the other day (I have always been slightly more keen than him), well I think he's fully up for it. His overtime has been capped but I might have an opportunity to earn slightly more, I will update on this when I know for sure but if so we will go for a 3k reduction a month, this will be tight as this is more than my salary by nearly £600 a month. If we can do this we can finish dec 2012 tho it will require the december paycheck which normally comes xmas eve (few days early compared to normal months) so I will be cheering a couple of weeks after all the other MFIT-ers and I will change my signature, want to be sure before I change my challenge etc...want to stay in the green ;)

    We are already living really tight so it is ambitious but for some reason if I think I can finish 2012 it is so much better in my brain than 2013 maybe as in a couple of months I can think 'next year'. Will see I don't want to burn out as its hard to recover!

    I forgot to say the other day we did some 'big' cooking and made an extra dinner (which I used to do every week, but I must say this has fallen by the way-side since I've gone back to work) and put it in the microwave to cool down...I found it the other day covered in mould yuk! What a wally so were actually a dinner down this week...

    Will update when the ebay money clears!!

    I've done the mouldy dinner thing too, and left a chicken carcass to strip under the grill whilst we ate the roast one sunday, and found it on the tuesday. Good intentions and all lol
