Hi all, I'd like to join in too please-is a great idea and more suitable for me than the threads where people are paying off £30k a year from their mortgage (impossible for me!). So far today I have had leftovers for second time this week for lunch and upped my monthly overpayment by £50. Now off to find somewhere to put my 'saved' little bits of cash......Credit cards: April 2009-£1800, 1 March 2010-£0 :j
Car: June 2009-£500, March 2010-£200 September 2010-£0

- My second ever regular overpayment went in today.
- Looking forward to pasta bake for dinner - I made one last week when we had people over and also made an extra to freeze. With any luck there will be some left over for lunch tomorrow too.0 -

Today for me:

* used a card from my stash and recycled a bottle of booze as gift for neighbourDebt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
Today:
- Recently I bought some cube furniture for the DDs bedroom and then got very cross when I found out that the cube holes aren't standard size. The cheapest ones I could find to fit them were £17 each, and I need 8! So today I covered strong cardboard boxes with lots of pretty wrapping paper to make my own cube drawers. They're not very professional, but they were a labour of love, and they are at least unique! And cheap - total cost £24.50 for the lot, including glue and sellotape.
- I made chicken noodle soup tonight with sugar snap peas and coriander from the garden. Pudding was strawberries from the pick-your-own farm we went to yesterday. Yumm.
