My journey to Mortgage-freedom

unhappy_shopper

Hi friends,

NSD yesterday and another NSD planned today. TCB payment for broadband switching has come through - that is £62 into the OP pot. Also, I am quite happy that the Moneysupermarket payment of £70 for switching energy supplier also has come through just 6 weeks after the online switch. Now off to get the refund for excess credit from previous supplier :-)

Have a good day, everyone! Don't forget tomorrow and the day after, you can list your unwanted treasures for free on fleabay.

Reading about the upcoming price rise declared by energy suppliers, I am glad that I switched to a fixed tariff recently. :j

Hi US

I'm a relative newbie to the MFW area but have reading your diary and wanted to say hello and thanks for sharing your journey. You are very good at bargain hunting and finding all the top offers!!

I have been wanting to join PC and so have tried the link that you posted above - thanks very much! Will let you know how I get on

Cheers

Thanks Bookworm for your compliments. If we can help each other in small things, we are definitely making this world a much better place to live in.

I am really miffed by the O2 outage. My DH and sons are travelling home from Oxford and I was unable to get in touch with them as we are all on O2. :mad: Fortunately DS1 had the Ovivo SIM with him and was able to get in touch with me a few minutes back. How very much we are all reliant on the mobile phone to get on with our lives!

Today I got my 3rd McCain sharing bowl. The mexican wedges are a quid each at MrT and also in Waitr0se. The bowl is quite nice and colourful.

Have a good weekend.:)

N.B: I am also facing GG's dilemma as to whether the punctuation mark and the emoticons go together or just one of them will suffice :think:

Is that better?

Didn't teach you this when I did my O Level :rotfl:

Or should that be

I'm going WITH punctuation I think. Probably .

I have listed a few things on fleabay and there are watchers. Hope some of them translate to bids. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Yesterday's shopping was at MrA. After buying things worth £30.xx, I paid 59p in cash Well, I had a big APG voucher to redeem and fortunately I did not have any problems with that. Also, there were some good reductions in the coffee/tea/hot choc. aisle.

For those who haven't done any online shopping at MrT before a minimum 32 quid bonanza (£12.12 TCB + 1000 points + £10 discount code). TCB deal ends today.

Have a good day everyone

Today has been a NSD. Tomorrow I have a MrT delivery coming in. I just wanted to point out this glitch at MrT for anyone interested. Cathedral City cheese twin pack is scanning at a quid each. Link here.

The annual mortgage statement from W00lwich has arrived and it is now time to update my mortgage spreadsheet. Our earlier mortgage provider, H$BC used to provide us with monthly interest figures, but we get only annual interest figures from W00lwich which is very disappointing.

Now to read and catch up with fellow MFW's diaries.
