    Just updated spreadsheets with movements over holiday. Savings now 20k :T and net btl mortgage now starts with an 8 (just :rotfl:).

    However, had a repair occurring while I was away, plus stuff bought for Spain and ordinary holiday spends means not a pretty picture coming up :eek:.

    Well, it's the day before payday and I have £3.83 left in current account :T (only because I borrowed £50 from savings account, forgot about BT one-off charge :o).

    Will be getting a small, much welcome, bonus this month :j.

    Had to do a list of money transactions for tomorrow - of which number 8 is 'normal monthly movements' :eek:. I've got money going into accounts and different amounts going in the other direction, but it's actually simpler records wise to do them as separate transactions. That way I can follow the trail if I need to check anything later on. Which I probably will :rotfl:.

    Manic few weeks ahead, away for weekend with friend, next weekend visiting DD and following week DS and gf moving out (:j:rotfl:) so will be on call to help out. Plus have a poorly relative, and away with work (probably) 3 days next week so no time for anything really :(. Looking forward to doing a Tilly and sitting down to meal plan at some stage :p.

    Want to run a load of options through spreadsheets but it will take a good few hours which I just don't have :(. Earmarked next Sat morning for it (seeing DD on Sunday).

    Happy hump day everyone :).

    Crikey GG, it hadn't registered that we're over the hump - could someone put an extra day into the week pleased.

    To misquote the great Miss Dickson........ "I know me so well" :o. Would all have been fine if Halifax had shown as a credit straightaway so I didn't have to skip a step. Will sort out mess in the morning :cool:.

    Money sorted. Now owe Mr GG 41.1k :T. Overall debt 99.3k :D (would have been lower but needed to move money from savings to pay mortgages before end of month rents received).
