Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

Thanks Michelle. I've been thinking about it and part of me thinks it's too high a target to set, but then the other part of me says if I (we) don't get off our backsides and do something about it then it'll never happen.
To start the day off, some paypal money landed and I had £64.34 in my OP pot so have paid off £65 to the mortgage which takes off October 2031 :beer:.
That seemed like fate and HAD to be done.
Working later today so not sure if I'll manage my daily target but I'll give it a damn good go this morning. Currently sitting at 94p from rounding down my bank acc.0 -
I've been working quite hard this month. Yes, we probably can't do it every month, but it has to be better than nothing at all doesn't it. If you didn't aim high you'd get no where. Ciao money will be in soon too hopefully.

That's the way I was thinking, anything is better than nothing as otherwise I deserve to be getting piddled off all the time. I forgot about Ciao money, perhaps tomorrow, wasn't there this morning. That'll help towards mynext target for OP.0

There's free listing on Ebay this weekend too if that helps?0

Thanks FF. I have my unsold list of higher value items that I just relist now each time there is a free listing weekend

I've just managed to get a 1p father's day card from Martin's email this morning
Also 1 dy review written and 2 99p items listed on ebay.
Dinner is cooking for me to take to work tonight0 -
Good day today, we've had notification of some tax overpayment that we're due from a few years ago. I only noticed Oh's tax code by chance so that's lovely. Will go away and I'll pretend it's not there but it takes the pressure off a bit and means everything I earn can go to OPing

No ciao money in today
, hopefully tomorrow. I've written a DY this morning, am at just over £20 on there now. I would like to get to payout in the next three weeks so will have to put some effort in there I think.
35p on OP today, so close on there as well.0 -
Ciao money arrived this morning so that's my daily target of £8.33 smashed.
I didn't quite manage my target the last couple of days but I have been working as well so it's a bit more difficult. Did a really long survey yesterday but then I realised I got £3.50 fo doing it I wasn't so unhappy.
OP is sitting at an annoying £37.50, the surveys seem to disappear the closer to payout you get.
DY is at £21.50 so some work needs doing there.0 -
Done a bit in OP this afternoon and also written a DY review and posted over to ciao. Got lots ready to list on eBay this weekend plus some listings with bids ending this weekend.
I went for a run this afternoon. I dislike running but I managed the circuit without stopping to walk today which is something I am very proud if as I think it's about 6 or 7k and that is a massive achievement for me as I don't have any stamina usually. Tired now though.0 -
Hope you get to payout on OP soon, I had 90p on there yesterday so was a good day. Well done on your run too, a great run really clears the mind too. I used to really enjoy it but babies and pregnancy have got in the way!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0

Having a lazy lie in this morning which is lovely. Plan for today is to have a major tidy up and do some listing on eBay tonight.
Also have a p!nec0ne survey to complete when I get on the PC0
