Well,been to the vets,with Leo,with his abcess,£71, not one of my worst vet trips,cheered me up a bit!!:D
Went to me friends,to pick up a load of bones,that will keep my pack,amused,and save me a bit on dog food!!! The butcher also gave her a load of trotters,£3 for nine,£1.70 odd,in Morrissons for just 2!!!:D
Went to Aldi,for some bits,spent just over £31,now i cant be bothered to do anything for dinner!!:rotfl:
Filled up with diesel,today,£1.40.8p,p/ltre,the cheapest garage around,hopefully that should last me,3 weeks til pay day,then that will leave me £15,of my £100 diesel budget for the month for my money box.:)
Havnt got a day off now,til next friday,so i am hoping for NSDs til then,otherwise,i will be busking,on a street corner,near you!!!:rotfl:Total Mortgage amount borrowed

glad you had a nice holiday, avlthough what a tragedy you 'had' to spend so much time in the bars:beer: 12 girls...did you all get on okay? I went away with 8 girls last year and there were cat fights every night...never again, I said.

Glade you had a nice holiday, having a merry with the girls in the pub sounds excellant, dispite the weather.
I like the idea of a money box. Would you keep saving until you get £5975 and then pay it off?

Hi,Starslimmer,
Yes it was a lovely little break,clear blue skies cheer you up enough,the cocktails did help a tad though!!!:D
Regarding my loan,my current repayments are £157.24 p/m,and around March time every year,i get my free month,being paid 4-weekly,so that will save me about £1250,which will then be added to my money box,then add another years worth of repayments,next years free month,and about £100 extra p/m in my money box,until next Apr,i should have enough to repay loan,2 years ahead of schedule.
Then once that loan is paid off,i will then add this ex loan repayment,onto my mort O/P with the extra £100,thats been going into my money box,taking the total to £450p/m O/Ps!!! Whoo hooo!!
I'm using my money box,instead of my savings account,for it,because i find it easier to be more disiplined,especially,when i have a little 'tot' up,every now and then!!!:)Total Mortgage amount borrowed

Another NSD!!! 2 on the trot,just aswell,i have a bit of making up to do!!:D
Speaking to a work colleague the other day,he and his partner,younger than me, (not be a lot,mind;)) are going to be MF in a couple of years,had to tame me 'Green eyed Monster':rotfl: But there is 2 of them,both work,no dependents,so they do have a head start,i'm single,a divorcee,over the years,with a broken relationship and marriage,both times i have lost 'my home' never again,not that i am bitter,i will just be more shrewd next time!!:)
So heres to 'me',going it alone,a single parent,............ well,of 4 Dogs,6 Cats,4 Ferrets and a pond full of fish!!!:D
And with this forum,things seem to be going well,so far,just need to keep it up!!:jTotal Mortgage amount borrowed

Oh Koda, you're doing fine. Couples who both work and don't have kids are in a different category from us single parents. There's no point in comparing. If you feel the need to compare yourself with somebody, then compare yourself with me (see sig). :rotfl:Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

Glad I could be an encouragement, Kodagirl. I have a whole diary full of exceedingly slow progress that you can dip into any time you want to feel that you're not the only one who can't pay off a million pounds in under five minutes!
