    Thanks Froggy - when I told Mr T, I said I'd set up a standard transfer each month to the mortgage - he said we may need to use that for something else :eek: Too late I've already set it up :rotfl:

    He'll have to use his instead :D

    Surely, you have already planned to hijack his extra money?!?!? All he would do is buy sweets at the local shop or spend his money on rubbish :rotfl::rotfl:
    Time to crack the whip Tilly!! This mortgage ain't gonna get paid by itself!! :D

    Hi Tilly
    Just popped by to say thanks for posting about all the small savings and over payments that you make. It makes me feel less bonkers when I am doing Quidco check ins for 10p a go in the face of a £400k mortgage! :)
    All the best

    Will have to wait until he knows whether he will be better off - has he been telling you that he's buying sweets - he's telling me he's investing for our future :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Mr el got £18 and also a wage rise came through, sadly my student loan offsets most of his gain :( but what is left I think we had discussed on adding to the savings ... Hopefully next year when the new tax limit comes in I will get to see some of it as the student loan should be up and running by then

    Enjoy the sweeties :)

    I'm working on the basis that every penny has to count. At first Mr T thought I was mad but he understands the desire to be MF as much as I do now. He is great at checking in with £co wherever he goes. 15p the other day - when it reaches a £1 and pitches up I just OP.

    Good luck with your journey - I know it seems never ending, they may be big numbers but they are going the right direction :T

    Don't mention the S word. Mr T is not eating any chocolate stuff at all at the moment. He's like a bear with a sore head on occasions :rotfl:

    I'm looking forward to seeing whether he will be slightly better off. In all seriousness we will OP it but again, I'm setting up standing orders for each additional stream of OP, that way I have an audit trail of why I'm making the OPs.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Have to admit I had my first sugar free day in such a long time yesterday I'm quite glad I did .. Now to keep it up :)
  • Morning

    1p TT OP
    No lodger news :o
    Dinner last night was amazing, although a bit too much prep time for a school night :rotfl:
    Mr T is downgrading £co to normal - I don't know why it was identified as premium - will need to investigate.

    Best wishes Tilly x
