    right thats my update done...a little bit ahead I think, although car insurance due soon, and a few other expenses will soon change that :-S

    Payday on Monday - how excited am I?!!! :D
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
  • Well it was worth persevering with Tfl. I got my refund in the end :j.

    Unfortunately I haven't got paid yet for the work I did this month so my total for this month is a big, fat 0 :o.

    We're now up to £1276.01: not had as much go in this month but have moved the ebay money (made £114.75 after all fees & postage so worthwhile) so pleased with totals so far. Monitoring like this is really motivating me- we're at 25% of challenge which is great as we are having to now save a little less and clear our 0% c/card befire it runs out in Oct. (doing it over next 8 months to make sure its al gone by deadline!)
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!
