Well done on the 0/P and the challenge looks good.I used to love challenging myself when I was in debt and it's amazing what can be achieved when you put your mind to it.0

Well done thistle... The beginning if the end of the mortgage... I'm loving this challenge, it's gonna stretch you, but it's not impossible
I agree with GG though maybe not the smartest idea expecting is to keep you sane

Morning all!
£0.94 Tilly Tidied this morning. Upto £127 now. It's adding up!!
Well my week has finally calmed down - I actually have breathing space today and I'm getting a little lie in too which is nice because I'm shattered.
Off to Worcester this evening to stay with friends. Leaving OH behind unfortunately but he'll be alright. I'm helping to judge a national Bellringing competition at Tewkesbury Abbey on Saturday so if you live nearby, come and listen. It should be glorious.
In the meantime, happy MSEing to all my MSE friends.

No Tilly Tidies today (well it is Saturday!) or yesterday, but I have just had the news that I've got a £200 bonus so that'll really bolster the £755 fund. I'll have to apply for it through my expenses form so I'll be claiming £180 for April and £200 for May.
Judging the Tewkesbury Shield Bellringing Competition today in.......Tewkesbury! An afternoon of Earl Grey and lemon drizzle cake on the Abbey lawns!! Scone anyone?
