Mortgage-Free Fresian? Here's hoping!

Hi F_F

Just think if you hadn't had the handbag fund you would have been able to put it towards the costs you now have with buying Fred so it was well worth the saving. I am sure you will get the handbag of your dreams before long.

Well done with the mortgage over payment fund and make the most of that OT.

Yippee its the weekend and I now have 3 days left out of 4 not back till wed

Enjoy the weekend F_F x

Morning

I've been up for two hours (Damn cat...) and still don't feel human. It's time to break out the cafetiere and have some strong coffee I think. Instant just isn't cutting it this morning :rotfl:

So far this morning I've done my daily clicks on SB, checked my survey points and done a couple of sponsored polls on Toluna. I've done a wee bit of comping but I'm not really in the mood for it if I'm being honest. I've also downloaded a free film and a free audiobook thanks to the newspaper thread, so am quite chuffed with that. I think that if I listen to audiobooks while I'm out walking it might inspire me to walk that little bit further.

For now though, a shower calls and I'm going to get some housework done before we meet Mr F's family for lunch. Ideally we'll then come home and I'll be able to list some stuff on Ebay while there's still free listing.

That didn't really work out as planned to be honest. We ended up going for a drive so that Mr Fresian could test out Fred's capabilities - turns out that Fred beeps if you go past 80mph to remind you of the speed limit

When we got home I walked to Sainsbury's and back to pick up a couple of pieces of shopping I'd forgotten. I was due to get extra points for a few things according to my Nectar app on my phone but didn't see them on the receipt. Does anyone know if they add on automatically at the end of the promotion?

I didn't list anything on Ebay, but have just joined a Facebook group for crafters trying to sell their stash. From what I've seen things sell really quickly, so I'm hoping that I can sell a good few bits and pieces - and not have the hassle of Ebay fees either! I just need to resist all the lovely things people are selling....!

It's called "Crafters Bring and Buy UK Based" and is limited to 1000 members, so check it out quickly!!

If you're friends with me on FB you should be able to see it linked to my profile I think - not too sure how it all works

Thanks FF have lots of excess beads and bits to destash. The group is on 996 so hopefully I'll get in

Morning folks

£5 Halifax Rewards received on all my accounts, so that's finally a payment into my ISA instead of towards car costs :rotfl: I have also received the final month's rent payment (Woo!) so once everything going through my credit card has cleared I'll know how much of that can be saved and what has to be spent. I will be able to make all my PADs into my ISA for the rest of the month though so hopefully that will bump up the total a bit.

I listed a load of craft stuff on that FB group last night and already have four things waiting to be posted!! I now have £14.96 sitting in my Paypal account for about ten minutes of effort I need to have a proper search through my stash tonight and be ruthless about what I want rid of too. Once I sell a few more bits I'll withdraw some funds and put that into my ISA too. My ISA is going to be where I save up my loan overpayment money so I can earn a bit of interest on it as the loan itself is a fixed rate and won't go down even if I make overpayments.

Nowt else to report here at the moment. It's chucking it down raining which puts paid to my plans of going to walk to the cinema later on tonight to get some much-needed exercise in. Maybe tomorrow...!
