It's difficult to write without pens.

I'm thinking I need to focus more on the kitchen fund and less on the mortgage if I want the kitchen doing around June... it's so hard not overpaying though:o
Having a very lazy day at home today before starting back at uni tomorrow, only one lecture on tomorrow, tues and wed so getting back into things very gradually. Have some shopping requests from a friend and looking for an unusual valentine for LM so shall have a little potter at some point.
Think I'll start some more bread tonight for baking tomorrow, it's cheap and very yummy will save buying treatsMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Whatever is left in the kitchen fund after the kitchen can go as an over-payment - think of it as as a "Stored-up Overpayment"."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

It was good, have seen it before but DS hadn't, both laughed lots:DWhatever is left in the kitchen fund after the kitchen can go as an over-payment - think of it as as a "Stored-up Overpayment".
Good point, it's just that I'm getting so close to breaking the next barrier it's becoming an obsession:o the kitchen is really the final thing needing done though and as LM and I sit in there lots it would make a huge difference if it was a pretty place:D
oh just realised - NSD today as I didn't really leave the house (apart from putting car away and rubbish out).Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
