    Bored of this snow now grrr

    Had a good week. OH heard back from one of the PPI claims I did for him £1041!!! He also heard that some old shares he had have been sold and was offered £4150.

    Its money we cant touch really though as OH is self employed and will need it to cushion him against snowy days like today. Buts its a nice boost.

    I made my standard overpayment of £30 and another £4ish made up from an amazon sale and some coppers paid in

    Beaten all my targets for the year so far.

    Oh and PLEASE STOP SNOWING!!!!

    I'm happy to have some of your snow as long as it falls during the night Mon-Thurs and stops all traffic in my local area :D

    Good news with the claim and shares! :)

    well 1st day of the new year and I have managed to pay £50 to holiday account £50 to bathroom account and £50 to Mortgage. :j

    I have also joined the 2011MFW and set my target as £1200.

    Been thinking about resolutions and have come up with a few
    • To pay AT LEAST £1200 extra off the mortgage
    • To get the bathroom done
    • To save £750 for Xmas and £250 for small vet bills/innoculations/things not covered by insurance
    • To lose a stone and tone up
    • To get pregnant:p easier said than done.
    • To be more organised and keep a tidier house
    • To have a massive declutter
    • Work harder at making more money i.e Ebay, daily clicks apply for more freebies and MS
    • Read more
    • Swim more
    I think thats enough to get on with:rotfl:

    Hi Mennie
