    Morning all, I have just taken my electric meter reading as I forgot on the 1st, anyway, last month I only spent £30, which is pretty good as I don't have gas either, and they have now reduced my dd from £45 to £40 starting next month, :beer: so thats an extra fiver each month into the mortgage pot :D

    Another pound put on this week :o:o I have tried to be good, but what with the wedding bbq, the meal out last night and various other things, clearly I need to try harder. Also it is about that time of the month, well, my fingers are crossed it is soon as I'm a couple of days late which is pretty unusual for me :o My plan is to have a nice warm bath tonight, re-read my WW stuff to get myself remotivated and then meal plan for the week and get going with it, the court case is coming round quite quickly now and I will not look anything other than marvellous :D

    I could do but I wouldn't be able to get a big enough mortgage anymore, I got my mortgage last time because they took into account the maintenance from the ex, which was £340 at that time, which works out at approx £4k per year. Obviously now that wouldn't be factored in and on my salary I would be lucky to get any mortgage at all :(
