    this weeks food shop managed to come in at £45. am starting to enjoy this delivery business, i think it probably does work out better than me keep throwing things i don't need into my trolley!

    not loads going on just waiting for my new vista cheque to clear- it might have done and i can pay it off the mortgage. We have ordered the majority of extension stuff now so just need the weather to hold out for building this weekend which i don't think it will!! only getting every other weekend off does make it hard for weekends to be so productive

    oh i booked my dogs in kennels, £780:eek::eek::eek: at least they should be safe, thats for our holiday and little get away for our anniversary, glad my cats don't need kenneling as well!!

    Husband has donated £320 to the mortgage from his current account so the new total is £22030.

    we have an item on ebay to end tonight, we did one yesterday and made £13 so hoping for a similar experience tonight!!

    I managed to forget a dd, but CB has come in and hubby has given another £30. total now £21950! have transferred the money from some selling we did also, still waiting for someone to pay....why don't people just pay straight away?? doubt the paypal money will be in in time for this month now tho but never mind.

    V- would certainly consider that in the future!!! but i always thought one day....if i get a big house....with an annexe i could ask u and polly could come come but i think my house would be a bit stressful for her so i didn't ask ;) i'll keep dreaming about that house!!:rotfl:

    Hi Jo,
    I notice from your signature that you and I owe amost the same on our mortgages, and that you too aim to pay it off this year.

    My progress has slowed a bit recently due to various extra expenses, a holiday etc, but I am still aiming to get rid of it by the end of the year.

    I will follow your progress with interest, and possibly a little bit of a competitive edge :D

    Good luck with it all :)

    Mr Sausages can look after Polly the pirate cat so it'd probably be OK! You can have family holidays on my farm one day *dreams* (and bring the dogs!).
