Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

Get everyone to lay on the floor and look up at it? 

At least it will restrain you with the Christmas shopping - you can only buy what you can fit under it 🤣🤣🤣!

It may be the only way jessy 😆

Hot night with scarce sleep due to next door neighbour having a party, not loud music really just bad taste in music and lots of aggressive shouting, it’s too hot to shut the windows.

Still today I’m sorting my life out, well writing lists of where to start 😆

Dh wants to clear the log cabin and set up a work room, this in itself is mega stress territory as he used to be a sufferer of loft rage, this has now shifted to understairs cupboard rage, I can only imagine the scope for getting angry at junk I want to keep in the shed 😂 so I’m avoiding helping with that if I can.

So things to do in the coming weeks :

• Re paint bedroom white 

• Try and extend mortgage term massively while dh still has a job, this can be done from today (if that dept is open of course!) 

• Help dd plan and probably cater a little do for her boyfriends 30th 

• Get together as much info and research for new little business then do a business plan 

• Start aiming for 10k steps again , lockdown has seen a shift from 14k average to about 4K 😱
• Research cancelling butlins newspaper offer break - booked to visit goodwood revival, don’t want to pay service charges or go there really! 

For this weekend :

• Do all washing 
• Collect groceries
• Ring mortgage company 
• Clean ds1’s bedroom while he’s away (he does do it sometimes I’d just like a proper clean as I don’t get the chance usually 😆) 
• Make nice dinner for dh and I to have instead of takeaway in front of a film, I’ve ordered chilli bread 🙂
• Check all accounts and update mf thread

Fab lists and plans NG!

Nationwide app doesn't update correctly and the information is incomplete.

Managed to pay 10% this week in. Saving up to do the same on Jan 1.

Have already cut my mortgage term down by over 4 yrs. With a lump sump put in Jan I think it'll knock off many more months.

 I doubt that somehow mfd’s 😆 

I managed a few bits on the list yesterday, mortgage company said ring back with all figures and outgoings  (which are all in my head anyway, I just didn’t want to look bonkers 😂) So I’ll call tomorrow.
Ironing all done , washing just one load left, groceries collected. 

I might paint the bedroom today, it’s a visual reminder everyday that I’m taking too long with things! That way next week dh is back at work full time again I get get into some kind of routine. The last few months have seen everything change (obviously)  and I’ve been going to bed really crazily early, eating as and  when and not being very motivated. My new job for the moment will be planning the new business as well as talking through and looking at dhs options for starting again in the future himself. 

So moving more, doing more and building a slightly different and hopefully better life now 😊

Have a great day NG 😀

Yes, paint the bedroom - you’ll feel much better for getting that done!! (Especially as is the last thing you see at night)

 Have a good day!

Have you got your room painted?!

Also I absolutely love that you got your christmas tree in July!

Thanks sc and Vix, I hope you both had a good day too 🙂

The bedroom is now white again, I was a bit slapdash but that’s the beauty of white you can’t tell. The woodwork still needs freshening up but that can wait for a while, I’m exhausted but at least it’s done. well worth the effort now I’m tucked in in freshly washed sheets with a cup of tea looking at it 😁
