Tootallulah's 2012 mortgage challenge

Haven't had a premium bond win in ages (although now have a pitiful amount as had to ransack them for loft fund).

Well done on OP :T.

How has your end of week been?

Well my week has been fine and dandy. As happens about every fourth post I am considering a new strategy. Paying daily small amounts when I don't buy coffee etc. Let's see how that works.

I made a pair of week-end trousers yesterday (potentially too clown like a shape) I am hoping to cut out some tops today. Also I started to cross stitch Emily Peacock's "HUG" cushion, that looks like a long job! All of this because it is still too blooming cold to get out in the garden and plant any of my seedlings out.

Spends today £4.16 shopping, £38.00, train ticket can be claimed back. My cross stitch cushion is already driving me demented, it is not relaxing. It says it takes about 90 hours to complete. I am only two hours down.

2 X coffees £4.40: yesterday was a long day leaving my house at 6.45 and getting back just after 9, today and tomorrow will be similar. We get paid in ten days time and I have £129 left so that should be fine and I won't dip into the overdraft this month.

A bit of my wall fell down overnight on Saturday for no apparent reason I need to get a builder in for an opinion and a repair, I hope that the whole thing isn't unsafe.
