Mortgage-Free Fresian? Here's hoping!

Thanks Pickle!

News for today:

Dorothy Perkins clothes didn't fit and are going back today. Money saved? No, I spent about the same amount in the Craft Superstore sale. Oopsie

I've bought a £40 voucher for a silver jewellary shop from Dealtastic for £10 :money: Once that comes through that will take care of a couple of birthdays. It didn't cost £10 in actual money either as I have a few pounds in Paypal, so the actual cost was only about £6.

My Ebay sales end today. They're still sitting at £16, but I'm hoping that will improve by the end of the day.

I am heading to the shops with my friend shortly to do my monthly supermarket shop. I have a massive list and am about to have a quick shower then inventory the cupboards to make sure I've not forgotten anything :rotfl:

Nowt else really. My PAD today was £1.43 into my ISA to get closer to my £2,000 target. Once the flatmate's rent money comes in at the start of the month I'll be able to say I've hit that target :j My mortgage payment hit the mortgage today so the total outstanding is now £43,563.87

I like how you substituted the clothes for the craft stuff.

Perhaps you could set up a 'next clothes size down' fund instead of buying new stuff, so every time you drop a size on your WW plan, you can have some nice things to wear in that size. (Sorry if that's an inappropriate thing to say, but it's meant in the nicest way possible. )

That's because craft stuff doesn't care what size your @rse is

I like that idea about the clothes fund It would be very motivating. I have bought a couple of new tops in the next size down, they were in the sales and I love them! I'm planning on spending a reasonable amount of cash at the Next sale in July....I need new work trousers as mine are getting decidedly loose. So, no offense taken

Today has been both busy and not so busy. I did the regular weekend supermarket trip with my best friend. We hit Aldi and Morrisons and I've spent almost £50 but am quite well stocked. The freezer is absolutely packed, and the cupboards are full. That was the busy part - by the time we'd fought through the Saturday shoppers I was shattered!

I had a nice quick dinner of bolognaise though - no pasta, but veg on the side. I have been very good with my WW points today so had enough left for the glass of wine I'm currently enjoying :A Tomorrow I need to head to the Post Office with the Ebay parcels that have been paid for and try not to spend any more money!! I have put some spare change into the mortgage overpayment pot, to make me feel less like a squatter on this board

Fresian, you put me to shame - but I'm glad that if someone has to, that it's you.

Gawd bless you ma'am!

Come and visit Scotland....I won't be going to Englandshire anytime soon and can only leave the country when work pays for it

*Salutes* I swear, when I get up in that direction, I will visit Fresian Towers or a coffee shop near to it!

If you come back to Manchestershire, let me know and we can do another lunch date! :T

*Waves* Na night, Fresian - I'm off to bed to count [STRIKE]cows[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Edinburgh coffee shops[/STRIKE] sheep.

Sleep tight, my bovine buddy

Morning all

Today's mortgage interest has been covered by all the spare change Mr Fresian leaves lying around in piles. It drives me nuts, so they've been spirited away into the piggy bank.

I'm halfway to an Amazon voucher on Mysurvey and am over 100SB again, so on the way with them too. I've got a balance of £9.62 in my Amazon account at the moment, which isn't too bad. I'll use any vouchers I get to try and offset some of the cost of Christmas I think.

I had a reasonably lazy day yesterday so didn't earn any WW activity points. Today I'm planning on walking to the post office and back again and will possibly head to Sainsburys as well. Although I got most of the shopping I needed, there were a couple of bits I couldn't get and I have a double points vouchers for there. Even if I only buy the fiver I'm planning on, double points on that is better than nothing. Mr F filled up the car yesterday and used my double Nectar points coupon, gaining me 66 points

Before I head out though I'm going to parcel my Ebay stuff, do the dishes and get a chicken in the slow cooker for dinner later. I'm going to add garlic and herbs to it and it should be yummy. I'll use the leftover chicken for lunch and dinner tomorrow as well.

Happy Sundays to all

My to do list is now done (Apart from posting the parcels, which I'm heading off to do in ten minutes)

The kitchen and living room are now clean(er) and tidy and my dinner is in the slow cooker. I've got a whole chicken in there with spring onions, tatties and chicken stock. I've added herbs, salt, pepper and garlic granules to the chicken and it already smells yummy. When I get back from the shops I'm going to do a homemade pizza for my lunch and we'll have the chicken when Top Gear is on later
