    Well, number 13 for me today :)

    Since BMF said I should mention it - I'm moving out of home next weekend and me and my gorgeous BF have found a lovely cottage to rent together! :j :j Can't tell you how excited I am! :D

    Number 7 here. Tomorrow I am borrowing some money to buy essentials so will be a spend day. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday should be NSD's to complete this challenge.

    Slowlyfading - great news about the cottage!

    Not so good news today - washer dryer FUBARd (well, the dryer part of it). It is a top of the range Miele that we have had for nearly 11 years! Little man coming out next week to look at it, will probably cost about £200 to fix, but when you consider a new one of similar spec will be about £800-£900 then it puts it into persepctive. It is a really good reliable machine, this is only the 2nd time it has gone wrong in eleven years, so well worth the initial investment all those years ago. Looking in Tesco catalogue for ideas, an Indesit starts at around £360 and a Hoover just over £500, and no guarantee as to how long they would last. Doubt if either of those would last 11 years, anyway. So, a big spend coming up next week, but an essential one.

    Back to the starting blocks I think - car broke down the other night and now we are £280 worse off and tax is due at end of month too. Have now got no holiday spends at all so looking for a big long list of free things to do with my two monsters over the holidays!

    Am going to try and rack up the nsd's over summer out of necessity as well as choice
    Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
    Emergency fund £1000/£1000
    Savings for big things £9017

    And another NSD for the family - this one is rather remarkable because I battled temptation on the train. Chocolate - and was going to seccumb but fortunately there were no Minstrels. All there was were Mars bars and I eat those only at the end of a marathon.

    So, today we did our number twelve.
