What a soggy day!!! However my morning was brightened by a cuddle from one of my fat fluffy cats which always make things seem nicer

Am slightlly perplexed today. My bank reckon I have a so called shortfall on my 'plan' to pay off the mortgage in 13 years 1 month as per my online statement. I have never missed a payment and have paid off a considerable chunk in the last 6 months and hope to paying this off way before this date anyway - 10 years at the outside, especially after I trade Willie in for somthing older and cheaper
Apparently I am 6.5k behind. But if their online plan has me paying x amount until 30th Sept 2023 then it'll be paid off so then why do they work out that I'm behind????
Oh well such is life! I had two very very soggy horses last night and so was I after i got them in. My third pair of wellies leaked big time and my so called rainproof jacket made me look like I was lactating. I'll have to go through the whole charade again later :rotfl:MFW 2011 No. 161 £946.54/£2000 TargetApril 9/15

I think I've just dried out!!
I now have to have carrier bags on my feet with my so called posh wellies. The duck tape will have to come out sooner rather than later I think! :cool: Spent yesterday (day off) reading, how lazy! I did make a cheesecake though for DansDad as he is partial to a lemon cheesecake. I really wont lose any weight this week the amount I've been scoffing. Had a whole packet of sherbert lemons! :eek: In one go! :eek: I now a large version of Vesuvius under my bottom my lip - I look like I've been smacked in the mouth, its really sore 
Have paid another £75 off the credit card today, thats nearly gone thank goodness!
Am on holiday countdown! This time next week DansDad, Long Suffering dawg and I will all be on holiday in gorgeous Devon
:D Long Suffering Dawg has to go to the The One Who Has Needles on Thursday for jabs and a general MOT as he needs a little sedation down there and back. Am having Friday as my day off for farrier, get Dans and Giffs food for the week, cat litter and a nice squashy bed for Long Suffering Dawg.
Have a lovely bank holiday everyone xx

I hope yall had a nice Bank Holiday weekend, although the mixed up weekend put me out good and proper! Dan and me went out for a clop on Monday in sun and it was lovely, although he's now getting his winter coat and is quite woolly!

I put weight on last week, pride comes before a fall, so will try to be good for the last part of the week
although making a chocolate lime cake on Monday wont help....:eek:
I've been looking back at my earlier posts and I cant believe I started at £54969 and have paid off £2400 since end Feb! The mortgage is now £52537.14 I would like to get that to about or below £51000 at the end of the year. Whether thats possible or not remains to be seen.....MFW 2011 No. 161 £946.54/£2000 TargetApril 9/15
