Hi everyone,
I've been busy for the past few days with work and other things, still not forgotten my :money:ways. Weekend shopping cost me less than £20 as I was able to bag a few whoopsies. Bought £20 worth of G@p stuff and has been refunded from the Amex 4square promotion, £20 from MrT (bought GCs so that I can pay for future shopping at MrT. Alas, haven't yet OPd for Nov and Dec, as I have some big money commitments (aka school/uni fees) in Jan.
I think I will wait until 21st Dec for my Christmas countdown to begin.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Katsu has posted about the free £30 for signing up for imutual and moneyvista. I signed up through her link and now here is mine at the bottom of this post.
imutual is another cashback site, it is currently offering £30 cashback for signing up to MoneyVista - a self-service financial planning site. You need to register and complete the 'build my plan' to get the CB. You will get a mail immediately stating whether your cashback has tracked. HTH.
In case any of you are interested, here is my link (I get 100 shares if you sign up through my link). TIA.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Good Morning :-)
I am winding up things at work in preparation of my leaving my current job. At the same time, I am clearing up all the cupboards and wardrobes at home too. Found DS2's piggy bank with more than £100 in coins, so that has been deposited into his account. Fortunately the B@rclays branch at the city centre has a coin deposit machine, so a few pennies saved. I have also found lots of coins in assorted containers, hand bags etc. - so will be making another trip to bank to deposit the same. Have Christmas party, meal etc. at work tomorrow and Friday - not to forget GG's Virtual Christmas party on 21st. :jMortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Can I send you 1p by paypal? Yesterday's roadkill was £1.01 and today a 5p. Maybe people are lining the pavements with coins as it is Christmas time
My last salary from my current employer has been paid into my bank a/c, even though my official last date is 31st Dec.(though I'll probably drop in tomorrow at office to pickup my stuff). So made an OP towards my mortgage.
GG, I'm ready for the party :jJoined up, hope you get your sharesToo late for MoneyVista offer though
It seems Moneyvista will reappear sometime in January. So be on the lookout :-)
