Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

That's a shame, oh well. Like you say you might as well do it and get 60p. All helps to me.

So still at work this weekend but finishing early today to hopefully enjoy the sunshine.

A bonus of £50 M&S vouchers yesterday which I'm not sure what will go towards yet, but they will come in handy. I posted my DY review the other day to Ciao and didn't realise it was part of their promotion so gained an extra 50p just for writing it which was nice.

A few ebay items ending today and have bids of just over £35 which I'm happy with as it will clear some clutter and I can hit mortgage OP target and then put the rest into the ISA which I want to continue topping up.

It is cars too on C. Perhaps a thought to write one of those too and help your balance. I should be able to withdraw £25 again from there this month. I'm so pleased i got to grips with it.

And i have high hopes i get more premium fund next month.

It doesn't take a lot to get me addicted.

I'll have to look into that Michelle.

Finished work this afternoon and sat in the garden for an hour. Gorgeous weather and just what I needed. We were going to cook a roast but decided to go out for dinner instead. So a lovely afternoon sat in a pub garden with a couple of glasses of wine. Spent some time being a grown up with hubby whilst dd2 played. We even discussed an idea I had for a business working from home which has potential so will have to research further.

You do so well on ebay, no one seems to want my stuff! The new business venture sound exciting.

eBay has gone well this weekend butnlots of buyers haven't paid. My business idea is exciting but needs a lot of work. I am going to start thinking on it tomorrow. It would be great to earn a bit of cash and not have to work for dd in the future.

I think any idea that makes it possible to be a SAHM is definitely worth pursuing. Good luck with it.

Thanks Cath, even if it just brings in a little extra that can be chucked off the mortgage to help the dream then it all helps.

Lovely sunny day here again today, so I have bunged the washing machine on, and I think we'll have the paddling pool out in the garden today.

What a day! My brain has been like fog all day, think it's a mix of too much wine yesterday and the changing heat today. Couple that with teen dd being a royal pain in the rear and I've had to ferry her to and from school which used up all of my afternoon becuase she hadn't finished something she should have done. Ah well.

I requested £59 from paypal this morning which will go straight to OP when it arrives. Still waiting on a few more buyers to pay but I'm not listing anything now as we have a holiday in July and I don't want to be having ebay hassles then.

Cooking a lush roast chicken and it smells yummy. It's also very large so am going to strip it before I forget and use it for tomorrow's dinner with something.

'Mum's taxi' can be time consuming can't it.

How far off are you from knocking another month off the mortgage? That paypal request will certainly help.

I need to get in the habit of cooking a roast and using leftover chicken for lots of meals. I don't get bored of chicken and make a mean curry!!
