Aw thanks! I'll just need to try and remember to update it!!

Just went to ASDA & instead of buying 3 bottles of wine for a tenner - I bought 2 bottles of soft drink. Saving £8.50 & a hangover :j

I just need to contact the bank to get the details of the account I can transfer money over to & then start moving it over.

Right £30 in the pot ready to be transferred once I work out how!!

Have also joined up to a review site so hoping to make the maxium amount of £££'s possible and that will be going against the mortgage. Might be able to make £50 a month :j Just need to find enough things to review!

Sounds good, I need to motivate myself to do something like that!

Have you thought about saving an emergency fund as well as paying off your mortgage? Just because you can't get your mortgage payments back if you needed them for car/boiler/house repairs etc

Thanks for remembering about the baby! Due in 9 weeks, am very scared but excited! :eek::D

Glamazon

thanks gally girl

I discussed the emergency fund with OH last night & plan is to do what dimbo suggested & pay off some mortgage one month then emergency pot next month. going to set up a seperate account for this when OH is off work in a few weeks time.

9 weeks to go??? J was 3 weeks early & is now 6 months old it goes so fast!

Sounds a good idea about the emergency pot! If she was 3 weeks early I only have 6 weeks...that's crazy! I don't feel prepared to be a responsible parent just yet!

When do you go back to work (sorry to ask!)?

Glamazon

May 24th!! :eek:

I had Gestational Diabetes so was due to be induced at 38 weeks so I was kinda ready although I hadn't packed my bag! I only finished work 2 and half weeks before so could done with the extra week but hey ho!
