Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

yukkibear

Both yesterday and today I transferred £10 between the Op pot and the ISA. Nearly at the stage to chuck some over to the mortgage.

On the flip side I got the bill for DD1's college bus pass today :eek: a mere £500.:eek:

Still have stayed out of the shops whilst at work :T

Didn't go into the shop at all again this week which I am very pleased with. Hopefully the habit is broken.

Today I have to buy my nephew a birthday pressie but I have a £5 voucher to put towards it and I am going to pick up my first two Xmas pressure that I am going to pay for with vouchers.

Was hoping to do a car boot sale tomorrow, but it's raining this morning so we will have to see how the day progresses.

Three things ending on eBay tomorrow all with bids and more than 4 watchers on each so hopefully the price will go up slightly.

no extra money transferred over but my account hasn't changed and that's nice too

Ended up buying school shoes and bits yesterday, birthday pressie, xmas pressie x 2 and used vouchers for most of it which was great.

We also got stuff out of the loft to load the car for a boot sale this morning, looked at it and realised most of it was really tat and we could well be wasting our time so we charity shopped it all. It really was about clearing the space rather than the money anyway so it's nice to know we have cleared some room.

I sometimes think it's more satisfying to make space than make a huge amount of money. The clarity of thought you get when the house is tidier is entirely worth it

Exactly FF and it has made a bit of a difference which is nice.

This morning, £12.73 landed from Chow from last month. I added £20 to my OP pot and sent £50 to the mortgage.

Three items ended on ebay last night, prob netted about a tenner which is better than nothing, one is being collected later and the other two need wrapping up ready to fo.

Apparently today is the day Cioa do their PF and my balance was sitting at just over £13 so have requested that for this time next month.

My DY cheque arrived this morning and my ebay buyer paid with a £5 note so that's going into the bank tomorrow and I'll OP all of that I think.

It's always nice when funds for OP land in your account/on doormat.

Certainly helps in a dry spell lol

I managed to list six items on ebay last night and have another couple to go on later. Small value items but they all add up.

£65 sent to mortgage this morning which has knocked out Sept 2031 :beer::j

Need £220 to knock the next month off so will have to get working hard.

Sad thing is though I think we're going to need a new bathroom sooner rather than later, am hoping this wont knock us back too much.

Back to work today and I have 5 days to stay out of the shops this week as it's my weekend :eek:
