Decluttered a pair of worn once boots to my mum - felt they were a bit old for me but she liked them so sort of proved my point there:o at least that's a bit more space:DMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

One p0ll payment in today so £20 to mortgage and £20 to savings, hopefully wages should be in later so there will be a bit more then too.
This week I have been mainly sleeping
not sure why but I seem to have gone into hibernation mode, have watched a couple of films with LM but leave me alone on the sofa and I'm off:o Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Another £50 towards the mortgage and a mainly quiet weekend planned as I've lots of deadlines coming up. Must go check the freezer and work out a menu plan for next week but think I'm quite well stocked up so shouldn't be too bad.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

End of weekend again... had fab day at work yesterday just lots of happy, fun (and some handsome) customers
as it's a bit hands on it's nice when they are fit young men - gosh don't I sound like a dirty ould woman!:D
Had lovely lunch with friends today, about time we all caught up together, must make more of an effort although I have seen them separately it's hard to get us all around at same time with boats, work, kids etc Any how I've eaten far too much and could do with a nap but must visit parents and sort more washing... it has been quite a low spend weekend so that's good:DMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

In the words of Fagan "I've been reviewing the situation"... and panicking that my savings won't last til the end of my course! Mainly used for home improvements and holidays but must stop dipping in.
If I stay at the rate of MOPs that I am doing at the minute I shall be way under target by June 16 so any extra money in addition to this shall go into savings, it's just that the savings rates are so poor it seems to make more sense to OP my mortgage which is 3.99% but as I have no guarantee of a job I better save some money!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
