    £4.75 each to savings and OP due to refund of an item. Was in last month's budget so already accounted for hence putting it to good use.

    Everything else on track. Meal planning, surveys and budgets all on top of.

    Some car test drives may possibly have been booked... Probably best not mentioned on here... No idea how that may impact the budget...Hoping the fancy lady is loaded!!!

    A loaded fancy lady! That's one way to budget :rotfl::rotfl:

    Do you think she has spare time for another husband who wants to upgrade the car?

    More to the point, does she have enough money to keep them both in expensive cars?!

    Been busy the last couple of weeks and haven't really had time to post.

    I have been trying to keep up to date with reading diaries, which has helped to keep my motivation up, but haven't to post replies to anyone.

    Just having a bit of a paperwork catch up day today.

    -I have updated the budget for this month. Things are looking OK but I can't see that we'll be getting anywhere near my target
    -Few bills paid.
    -£2.72 saved against budget for one bill so have split this between Mortgage OP and Savings.
    -eb@y sales have been coming in dribs and drabs. I've nothing big left to list just small things that don't sell for much or take a while to sell so my motivation is a little lacking in that area. I will aim to list 10 things this week.

    Had DH payslip through. Some extra money coming in for June so need to put it to good use.

    -OP £250 each to savings and mortgage accounts. This brings me under the £260k barrier to £259,997.35 Doing a little sub £260k jig around the kitchen!

    This month's interest will push us temporarily back over but the normal payment and standard OP will soon put paid to that.

    I need to have a think about M OP target for June. We have quite a bit coming in this month but several large bills to pay also. Thinking I will aim for £250 plus standard OP but will think on that some more...
