  • :T for the moneycurious team games, fun times :D
    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    Hi MC
    Just catching up! Sounds like you are well and truely back on it!! Great OP's. Glad new OH is on board - that massively helps!
    I love the booty of smellies you found! I did that last year and realised I literally had enough to keep me going for months and months!! I'm still working my way through it all now!
    Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
    Savings: £3k
    Aim: 100k by Dec 2021
  • $4.49 TT this morning , and realised that the [EMAIL="co@st"]co@st[/EMAIL] stuff I returned has also entered the bank account.
    so CC is the lowest it has been in ages. Feb is a busy month , but nothing new required.
    just going to do TT's next month as want to get the house re rendered...... and that looks to cost a small fortune!!
    Cant belive how just chipping away makes such a big difference! x

  • TT of £98.54 , said I was only going to do little TT's this month ,but my CC came in well under budget and also I was gifted £100 off my grandfather so that always goes into the pot.
    Got an interview on Tuesday so fingers crossed. Just done the first draft of the presentation , so got till tues to play - the problem is I am working all week until sunday night.
    also bought a new book this afternoon on [EMAIL="am@zon"]am@zon[/EMAIL], that will be delivered on the 18th - love my books and with all this job applying and working I feel like I am not getting chance to do it any more. Tonight is bath, tan and chill out I think, I will probably be a swat and do abit of reading for the interview , but its one of those that you either know or you don't.
    anyways best read some diarys ttfn xx

    Best of luck for the interview, there are a few MFWs getting interviews at the moment, can only be a good sign :)
  • Morning ,
    Thanks LGP and edingburgh, Got paid by the second job today so TT of £78.79 across, think that will be me for the month. After being really conscious of the old spending my credit card is currentlt -£27.00!!! 7 days in and its looking great.
    Had a mid week takeaway last night , OH had to go for some tests and when left home the electric was off, after waiting 2 hours in the hospital we were starving so curry it was.... I even said we can get one and split it. He agreed ( coz he would normally get two!one each that is ) and he agreed he was more than full!!! MS is rubbing off!!!!!
    right best get this power point done, with the electric and his hospital appointment I got nothing done grrrr .
