Peonie's journey to smart money management

Peonie

Thanks NG and Shala. We had dinner at my ma and pa's house night and it was nice to be able to talk about our pea from the beginning. The little thing is less than 3mm and I'm knackered plus a lot of other side effects. Including not being able to shift this cold. My ma says I should not eat yellow sticker food anymore

Financial priority wise - I'm not changing them yet. I'm still working on knocking down the mortgage. I OPd £112 at the beginning of January but upped it to £318 by the end :T
Meaning I've knocked another month off the mortgage :T to February. And the rest, £135, has gone into the holiday pot. Mr P gave me back £500 for his 'loan'; only £1,400 more to go.

My January signature was:
2014 MFW no. 16: £318 / £3,120, Holiday pot: £135 / £1,000, Car up-keep: £45 / £540.
MFiT3 no. 86: Reduce mortgage from £146,800 to £125,000.
Mortgage now: January 2014, at £140,490, end date February 2036.
Mortgage at its highest: July 2011, at £154,000, end date July 2036.

Hi Peonie, fab news.

Peonie, how exciting! So pleased for you.

(Miscarriages are vile. So sorry you had one last time. But I am proof that you can have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and healthy baby after a miscarriage. Actually I am proof of that twice over because I was my mother's baby after a MC and I had a baby after a MC too. So there's lots of hope for you too. )
