Matt's mission to be MF!

Aw that's kind of you to offer, thank you. Only just started saving in January and need a £30k deposit to buy around here, I'm a single stay at home mum so my aim is to get it together in 3 years.

Oh don't worry, I've read about Nattys antics!

Today, I have to confess. I have an addiction!

I don't want to be cured though because my addition is making OP's!!!

I'm itching to get to the bank and make an OP. Feels like ages since I've fed this hunger! I sent a test £10 OP online just to check it works. Once I know it does, look out, its going to be Tilly Tidies all over the place!!!

I looked at that job to price last night. It would be a cracker if we win it. Make an Oak frame conservatory! What a rewarding pleasure that would be. I really do need more fingers to cross now!

Hi Matt

I believe MFW is actually OPA (Overpayers Anonymous) :rotfl:

You have found some great ways to make lots of extra cash -makes me very jealous although ebay selling is being quite fruitful for me atm.

Hope you get the jobs!!

OPA made me chuckle!

I guess I just try to think of any little extras that haven't really been done to death to make a bit extra. It must be how my mind is setup, I find it difficult to rest sometimes because my head just buzzes with trying to think of the next thing to do. Very sad I know!

I'm glad ebay is being good for you. Its a good feeling.

Have you swapped current accounts to First Direct? The £125 incentive hit my account today Also, imutual is a cashback site that is offering £10 free for signing up to moneyvista. Takes a few months to track but it's free cash, not to be sniffed at!

Cheers Nat for those. Not really thought about them before, well didn't know of imutual.

I feel better now as I've made a £780 OP this afternoon! Yay!!!

£10 tester payment from my account online.
£740 from Ebay and selling car bits last week.
£30 Both boys Easter money from relatives 'buy yourself an egg'. They had enough choc and we have recorded this as their money in the log for them.

I put another £250 into the savings but this isn't going to be recorded as I had to take some out to buy materials for a job. The rest will be returned when I get paid.

Tomorrow the DD comes out of the account, so their will be another OP. OP'ing makes me happy!!! La la la larrrr!!!!

Hi Tilly

Thanks so much, really appreciate it. I have to admit it, I've surprised myself a lot over the last 7 months or so. There is no way I would have an extra £9,300 in the bank if I hadn't started to OP.

I'm racing to break even with the balance. My partner is very supportive as she is a natural saver but she thinks I'm becoming too focused on this! Maybe she's right but don't say anything.

Well done on the Overpayments :T.

I already know that I am obsessed with being mortgage free, but my Husband is now starting to take an interest when I tell him how much money we will save.

Hi Sweetdaisy

We sure are a strange breed us lot! Still much better like this than being a slave to the banks forever!
