    Hello, all! Loving the sparkles here this morning.

    Does anyone else spend time looking at property listings for places you hope to live but couldnt possibly for a few years yet? I've been stalking the NYC property market (near where I grew up) for a few weeks now and am trying to use it as motivation rather than just seeing the crushing expense.

    Today I:
    • will walk to work
    • lunch at work from home
    • watch TV on iplayer
    • dinner at a friends after work
    • email dad about visit
    • talk to mum on skype rather than by phone
    • keep chasing contract at work (!!!!)
    • work hard as loads on
    • catch up on volunteer stuff

    Hope everybody has a good one.
    Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000
