Pasta went well. Even managed to add some veg that was on its last legs and some pesto that looked a little dubious and I'm still here to tell the tale!!
End of month tot up shows I am £66 off target. Happy with that tho. Going to go into the ODraft for that as I wont get charged interest and then it keeps the numbers nice and round!!!Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k

Just got my mortgage statement through for the last year. Amazed how much interest you have to pay. However it was very nice seeing the line each month for overpayment
In 18 days time we are out of the tie in period and can overpay as much as we want. Got some shares paying out at the end of Nov so they will go straight in. Paid in £3600 over the last 3 years and they have gone up in value...will find out by how much on the 14th and then they get paid at the end of the month... Will be a nice OP for the end of the year (or a lush xmas pressie....stay strong, stay strong!!!!)Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k

Had no internet for the last month - nightmare!! All back and running now finally - just in time for xmas shopping.
Today managed to buy presents for my neice & nephew - £20 for both so not too bad.
Need ideas for my Dad still tho...??!!
Had a good month as my shares paid out - Just under £12.5k!! Not bad for a £3.5k investment over 3 years!!
It'll be going straight into my fund! No internet tho has meant no internet banking so I'm all over the place. I have no idea what is going on with my money so need to get refocused and organised. I suspect some extra has disappeared since OH knows I can't track it!!!
Hope everyone else is doing ok and xmas is not getting too much in the way of plans? (I know some people are super organised and will have done all their shopping by now!)Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
