SF's road to mortgage freedom!

Another couple of busy days done

At the weekend, I sorted out our car insurance. We'd had a renewal quote for £439 for our little car :eek: :eek: so we researched online and managed to get it for £253 :j :j which is much better! I'm pleased with that as I think we'll still manage to come under budget this month if we're extra careful, even with this additional payment

I tried to make naan breads for the first time this evening, to have with our leftover curry. However, they turned out much more like pitta breads! Not sure how? But DH still managed to eat 4 they didn't taste too bad, just nothing like the texture of a naan bread. Strange!

However, because I attempted to make them instead of buying them, today has been another NSD

Great work on the quote - will you be able to OP the difference? I tend to budget pessimistically, based on the cost from the previous year. The upside is a nice place to be

I think it'll go into savings for America but yes, it's good! Only took me about 15 minutes too, so didn't take too long Love it when that happens!

Our (first) time took nearly 3 hours :rotfl:

It was worth it though, £3k down to £650.

Wow! :eek: what car do you have? Ours is only small

Hehe - it's a wee Suzuki - apparently comparison websites sort by most expensive first to make you feel like you're getting a bargain

Fair enough point

Well Done on the quick savings there SF :T I'd forgotten about your America trip - have you booked it ?

I do the same as edinburgher in that i guesstimate around the previous figure and err on the high side and its nice to make the saving on this figure

Good to hear you're making new breads too SF - that was one of your targets wasnt it? They must have been nice even if they weren't how you thought they'd be

We have! We've booked and paid the deposit, so just need to save the rest we've got about half saved already, so we're doing well!

It was! I'm going to try and flavoured loaf next I think maybe...!

I feel today. Overnight I have developed the most awful cold, accompanied by a hacking cough and my body is very ache-y and shivery. Today has been long.

It's been a NSD, and I'm off to bed.
