That just strikes me as a horrid money making ploy on there part. It has always been 6pm. Good plan to have a system in place to thwart it.

Dastardly is the word. It changed in April and was in rather small print. As far as I'm concerned evening starts as soon as I'm in my comfy pants (which is about 5 mins after I walk through the door at 6.30).

Hhm what am I doing today?
Well I'm charging my phone at work
I've eaten loads of free chocolate at work
Erm and that's it m'laud

Will try harder tomorrow

Hope your DH feels less stressed soon misscountinit.

Today for me:

* made brekkie and pack-ups (mainly only managed this by being in the kitchen at gone 10.30 last night boiling eggs, making egg mayo, washing lettuce etc, so I only had to slice bread and fill sarnies this morning).
* sorted out an umbrella company so I can get paid
* logged into RM survey site
* agreed to do a follow -up survey to one I did a few weeks ago

I will:
* assemble brekkie, sarnie fillings etc tonight
* go collect new books from library
* possibly go buy tinned beans for tinned bean "mash" so I can use up sausage mix in fridge
* do my dorset cereals comp
* do some surveying

Hello all!

Hope you don't mind if I join you on this fabulous thread.
Using the mortgage calculator - if we overpay our mortgage by £300 a month - we knock ten years off the repayment period and save £60'000.
As £300 isn't as HUGE amount - myself and my hubby have decided that it would be madness not to do it. So I would like to join all you scrimping, saving, hard working, thrifty fingered fabulousos and get over paying the mortgage asap.

Love the thread - very motivating - little steps in the right direction pay big dividends.

Isn't it great to have lots of positivity and encouragement. The de-motivator and interest saver are huge factors in us hammering our mortgage down, as well as checking everything's as tight as it can be - the idea being when the pinch is really hard it won't be as tough as we've saved in the 7 years of harvest, to prepare for the 7 years of famine; plus with smaller mortgage = less debt hanging around our head. Win-win

- ordered 2 Takeaway Secret books for £2.99 each and free delivery,using Amazon vouchers earned from surveys, for xmas presents
- got payslip showing bonus will be paid at end of March. This will be transferred to mortgage savings once I've been paid.

- made Quorn Rogan Josh and beef stew from stores and used up all veggies past best in fridge. Had one portion curry for tea and 3 others frozen. Beef stew still cooking so not sure how many portions but will be frozen once cooked and cooled.

On downside:
- received unexpected £25 Specsavers bill today after cancelling DD for contact lenses as had laser eye surgery in Dec.
- spent £12.35 on wool (from ebay) to make peppa pig, but will hopefully be able to get more than one out of it.
