Morning all, today is the start of my 101 challenge, so for the next 1001 days (until my 40th birthday), I will be trying to complete various challenges and will be saving £10 for each one I achieve, ready to splurge the lot when I turn 40 One of the challenges obviously is to clear my mortgage, and another mortgage payment has gone out today, so my current balance (minus the amount in my mortgage pot) is £32,821

Evening all, my cold hsa come out big time today, my nose has been running like a tap all day, my voice has almost gone so I'm already tucked up in bed in my cosy pj's

Tonight we went and had our photos done at ds school, they do professional family ones, the same guy who does the kids school photos. I really didn't feel like going but they are usually great pictures so made myself go along.

Spends today = £3.50 on food at school and then £1.95 on chips tonight I have however made £2.33 from a free bet, woohoo, gonna take a long while to clear the mortgage at this rate

Evening all from a very tired Benbenandme ... last night I went to bed at about 9ish and watched the Apprentice, I fell asleep afterwards and was woken at 1.30 by sailorman calling for a chat Well, we chatted and chatted until quarter to six this morning :eek: My alarm goes off at quarter past six so it wasn't worth going to sleep then, so I got ready for school, but now, what with my cold /cough too, I feel absolutely pants and am definitely having an early night (with my phone turned off ). It was lovely chatting to him and we can chat on and on for hours with no awkward silences, which is pretty amazing seeing as I haven't even met him yet, but fingers crossed we're meeting up in about 10 days

Spends today = £3.20 on lunch, I felt too tired to make some this morning.
