Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

yukkibear

I've had a lovely week off, we've been sunning ourselves in Majorca! Fantastic time had by all, but it's back to reality now and cracking on with saving up for another holiday and the house etc etc.

I think I've come back a stone or so heavier from being all inclusive. Need to address that straight away!

Just catching up with surveys and diaries etc tonight and will get cracking properly tomorrow.

I'm glad you have had a lovely break. All inclusive is a bit of a killer isn't it.

Bet you are out running tomorrow, :rotfl:. Shame it always goes on quicker than it comes off.

*Jellie*

Hope you all had a great time.

Quite tired this morning, trying to get back into the routine of normal life. Where's my cooked breakfast this morning that has been cooked by someone else? Oh well granola it is prepared by me instead then.

Plans for today are a few hundred loads of washing (please don't rain), a DY review, couple onto Ciao and get some listings on ebay as it's free listing. I really know how to relax after my hols lol.

I'm 25p away from redeem on opinion world so hoping for a survey tomorrow to top that.

:rotfl:I remember when I came back from working in Dubai for a week. Not only did I have to make my own breakfast, but when I opened the front door I had no driver and had to drive myself to work! The indignity of it

Em, dk where you are but doesn't seem much chance of avoiding rain :eek:

This is a site I'm not signed up to....do you get anything for referring people? If you do I'm happy to be referred.

Just looked but doesn't look like there is a referral bonus, thanks for asking anyway.




DY review written and one on Ciao too.

Bad bad bad yukkibear! I've just managed to spend over £90 on two car seats for DD, two birthday presents and a bike helmet. I think I got a lot for the money, and received a £5 gift voucher as well but still so easy to spend so much in a short period of time.

Cooking a roast chicken for tea nom nom nom

And more spending continues! Sainsburys have a 70% sale on some furniture. We DESPERATELY need a new dining table and chairs. We are currently operating on three chairs and one is on it's last legs. I found a set of two chairs for £44.40 and the table at £89 so £178.20 spent with free delivery for a table and four chairs. 350 nectar points.

Now I need to replenish the savings.

This morning I have requested £19 from ms and £7.70 from TCB. Written a DY review as well, should top £40 on there this morning.

Dinner tonight will be chicken risotto made using left over chicken from yesterday's roast dinner. I do get the whole point of being organised with food and am really trying to do that now.

July's targets are

- Reach payout on DY
- [STRIKE]Reach payout on one paypal survey site (whichever comes first)[/STRIKE] redeemed from Opinion W
- Meal plan and reduce the shopping bills.

But I'm having a holiday for a week of that so will have to be late starting this month. I may hope to squeeze a car boot sale in there somewhere.

Monetary targets are

-[STRIKE] £28.51 to OP[/STRIKE] £50 OP so far this month
- £79.78 to OP ( £58.29 left to OP)
- £60 to OP
- [STRIKE]£52.37 to ISA[/STRIKE] £52.61 into ISA so slightly more

A total of £220.66 might be a bit tight with a week less, but I'll give it my best shot. I have until 5th August remember. Now I'm off to think about how to achieve this.

So I need £118.29 to hit target (£118.05) according to spreadsheet but slightly too much went into isa. That works out at between £6-£7 per day so doable.

I have a few bits on their way

- £19.50 MS
- £7.70 TCB
- £13 in paypal

so really only £78.09 left to find


This morning I have been and had a tooth out still numb so not painful at the mo. Has needed to be done for ages so am glad it's gone, just feel better once it's healed properly now.

£10.25 redeemed from OW this morning which is part of my paypal balance, and £50 paid into the ISA as above left over holiday money.

DY is playing up for me keeps logging me out so may wait until later to try and write anything for it.
