    Me for today as follows:-

    1. Went through christmas cupboard and found loads of things I have already bought and forgotton about (an extra 10 presents off list for me without spending any extra cash - result)
    2. Whilst going through cupboard found duplicate present bought for son so i found the receipt & is ready to go back to get £7.99 refund
    3. Contacted Toys R Us and got them to add on all the points I should have earned on my purchases onto my reward card (as I'd forgotton it each time I went into store) - this should
    give me enough of a spend for more money off vouchers just in time for crimbo.
    4. Resisted buying pick of the day from create and craft - so proud of myself - the old me would have just reached for the computer and ordered without thinking
    5. Stopped hubby buying daughters main present until I had searched to see if I could find discount voucher and get Quidco cashback - result was extra £7 off and quidco tracking at
    £9.19 - another result!

    Two days in a row I've met my targets - I'm on a roll!!!
    Mortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.02
