What have I done....

I think thats our biggest change - and also its nice not wasting stuff (I feel all saintly!!)

I have a friend who spends around £500 a month just for the 2 of them - thats crazy!!

Didn't go for lunch in the end so that saved a tenner! A few people were talking today about OP'ing... It turns out I'm not the only one there! We are clearly a secret movement of mfw's! Anyway I forwarded my boss and a colleague my calculator and they are both now are starting their own mission... One to finish 5 yrs early and the other 9 yrs early! It's catching...

yeah, my parents spend over £100 a week on their food bill, just for 2, although that does include rather a lot of alcohol...that's my inheritance tesco is getting!

And i have mentioned overpaying to a few freinds - its funny how talking about money is the last taboo isn't it? turns out one of them had assumed we must have paid our mortgage off by now, and thought we were just very penny pinching. i explained that our orginal one was paid last year, but we had taken out another one to last till we were 60 orginally, i think he gets now why we are being careful with cash..

Mine too KP! Although they quite often end up feeding my younger brother and sister lol!! Maybe I should just eat at theirs every night - that would help!!

WFH today so that £7.50 of petrol saved. Also out on the road most of next week so looks like my fuel bill is going to be under the normal £250 ish I spend a month!

Few shares sold and put towards an OP today. Sold most of the rest of them yesterday so that will be a big chunk off when they come through. They have quadrupled since we stuck a few quid in my works shareshave so we have been very lucky!

It's the weekend! And a long one at that! OH away at his parents so a relaxing weekend of dog walking and horse riding ( well that's not very relaxing at the mo! ) however other than a planned nite out, it shouldn't be too expensive! We would've gone thru several hundred quid on a BH weekend before this.... Weird!!!
