    Hehe, it might help my baby broodiness maybe... no she's really cute and she's getting on well with all the other animals as well thank goodness. Bit different to my other dogs tho which are big and she's little and a lap dog type, hopefully she will befriend my dog ebbie who is very cuddly as my other dog rejects her a bit as he's a loner!

    Well today is my fave day of the month haha, so quick summary, Mortgage payment= £457.51, total payoff= £370.65, monthly interest= £86.86, daily interest= £2.80. This has been rounded off and added in CB and the £50 for the vouchers from my mum and managed to get it it down to £68350, now the aim for this month was £68220 so £130 out, if I spend nothing from my account this month I can pay the extra 30 (but keeping it to allow for direct debit vat rises etc (tho I think they've all been covered), also if I got my £100 from quidco I could scrape it but thats showing no signs of coming! Basically the brunt of the puppy cost has gone to the lack of credit card payment this month, hoping that tax rebate comes soon...

    Gonna enter the this morning comp online now, if I won I reckon I could knock a good 9-10months off my MF date haha

    Quick update, hubby is off this week and did a £35 shop which I think is great. We're not doing too well getting rid of this credit card so not too happy about that, still awaiting this tax rebate also.

    Have had a couple of hard days again with extended time at work:mad:at least hubby being home will mean he will help out with stuff so less to do when I get in.

    Good news though, it seems we have an egg today- the chickens haven't laid for ages so hoping they will restart as the lighter days come up:j

    I didn't get a chance to send my receipts for shopping to today and it looks like I've missed my points for this week...

    Had a bit of a spend in ikea this weekend about £40, not sure how will clear this credit card without skipping a month of mortgage overpayments- this definately isn't the plan, will have to see how things go...
