Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

What a relief about the MOT, cars are such an expensive pain!

*Jellie*

I seem to be doing a fair bit of spending too - think I have wedding bouquets sorted now.

I need to change my wedding bouquets tonight. I want to tweak them slightly, one more thing for the list!

Dress fitting tonight. It's with MIL so free thank goodness. Had my hair cut this afternoon and booked my next one in for two days before the wedding which will save some cash as I', not having wedding hair iyswim

Dress fitting went well, thank goodness it's free.

Not a lot happening money wise sadly. A few small bids on ebay items. Going to cook a chilli tonight I think, well actually I know because it's all we have in the house to cook. I NEED to get to the shops tomorrow.

We have so much clutter in this house it's unbelievable. This afternoon I have been trying to sort out our bedroom. Have filled a box to put by for a car boot sale when the weather is warmer, few bits out into the recycling bin, an old toy onto amazon and it still looks just as cluttered. Still baby steps I guess.

Have finally made it to £20 on DY so I can get an amazon voucher and use that to buy activity books for the children coming to the wedding.

Really need to look into some storage for this house before I go mad.

Storage is an issue here too, I need to ring someone to come and board the attic as we keep christmas decorations etc in there and there is so much stuff i can't throw away but need to be out of the way!

Our attic is boarded, but there is quite a lot of carp up there. Our main problem is too much stuff, toys etc with not enough cupboards, organisation, places to put the storage etc to keep it looking nice.

DD has too many toys and I am trying to syphon one or two off each time she's not around etc. I need to tackle my wardrobe as I think I must wear about 5% of what is in it. Trouble is I am too scared to remove everything for fear of it being empty afterwards.

Today will consist of visiting friends and hopefully tonight some ebay listings.

yukkibear

I've got 11 items on Ebay now and three ending tonight, one of which has a bid. Only 99p but still better than nothing and helping to declutter the house.

Tomorrow should see my phone recycling money in my bank account which means I can send the remainder of the OP to the mortgage for this month.

Welll done on the ebay, is good to get the stuff out the way isn't it!

Hope you had a nice weekend.
