vasseur

Excellent BB, you really are an inspiration and I cannot wait to join you as a MFW later on this year

Thank you all, I'm still chuffed to bits and haven't spent any money today, its helped get me a bit more focussed again

Moo2Moo, I have already cashed in some tesco vouchers for our Isle of Wight trip to use and the steam railway will probably be one of the places we go to

Today has been a gorgeous day, ds is at his singing club at the moment but we may go down the beach for a bit when I pick him up

Are you still entering competitions benben?

benbenandme

Nanto3girls, I actually thought last night I need to get back to entering some more comps, haven't done any for a bit, have you had any more wins recently?

nanto3girls

Last thing i won was a £50 Amazon voucher in February.We decorated our bedroom a couple of weeks ago,so i used it for some new curtains.

WOW WOW WOW:j:j:j

what fabby news, well done you, i get a real kick out of seeing you knock another month off, but getting down to your target is amazing....i guess you are still going to keep going????

knocking 15 years off is a fantastic feat, each month when that happens you can think of that money as 'free money'....you will be able to do great fun things!

hope things with ds improve for you. going to look up geocaching now, haven't got the foggiest what you are talking about!

that does sound fun and never heard of it before....my boys would have loved that when they were little....

Nanto3girls - that's a really good win, at least its something practical and useful, much better than a keyring or something daft :T

Savingmore - Of course I'm going to carry on I initially wanted to get it down to then as I *assumed* that would be when my child maintenance payments would end (ds leaving education), oh no silly me, I should have known they'd stop years before that :cool:

Anyhow, my next target was to get rid of the mortgage completely by my 40th birthday (August 2013), this won't happen but I am still trying to get it whittled down as quickly as I possibly can Realistically I think it will take another 3 years or so, and there may be yet more hiccups along the way, my car won't go on forever and will need replacing at some point, but who knows, there may be some maintenance at some point before that, who knows :rotfl::rotfl:

So, after one nice day of sunshine I decide dit was flipflops and walking today ... and its freezing Anywa, just measured my steps and so far have done 13,000 today :j Very pleased with that

Spends today = £7 on ds haircut, 60p on a biscuit at school.
