"A Cheap Ticket to Happy Land Please...."

Money is running through my fingers like sand! I'm already £200 down on next months pay and there is still 7 days to go!
£100 is to pay for the baby scan + £100 is towards OH's birthday, he's 30 so I need to get him something decent.

Looks like I'm only going to be able to set an overpayment target of around £350 next month - if I get even a penny over this then I will be totally chuffed! And believe me I will try my hardest!

21 weeks preggo today - 19 weeks to go

Don't you just love it when things are looking a bit bleak and something comes along to make everything a bit better!!



Postie brought me my Common charges invoice (money we pay to the housing association for landscaping etc). I pay this £8 standing order every month and don't normally take any notice when the invoice comes through.........well turns out that after we pay this years charges we are still £97.06 in credit!

Phoned up to ask about it and they are sending me a cheque

I think my target for next month just went up to £450! Bring it on!!

Hello!

Can't believe that there are still 3 whole sleeps till payday . This has seriously got be be one of the longest months in the history of the world......EVER!!

Nothing MSE to report apart from the fact that I've started doing the odd survey again. I had totally lost the will to live doing them before, but as OH got me a Kindle for my birthday, I gathered working towards the odd amazon voucher here and there will save me money on ebooks which could otherwise be used as overpayment money!

Got the horrid mortgage statement through today . How depressing to see that in 4 months we have paid £2734.40 but only £982.51 has come off the balance! Makes me want to cry....... I can't wait to get this stoopid card paid off and get my teeth sunk right into this!!

3 days! 3 more days.........
