Thanks GG - always wondered what snowballing meant.
Another Tilly Tidy of £1.13 today.
I've counted up ,monies I'm due in May from my list and its coming to £655 at the moment so I'm only £100 short with 16 days to work out where that's coming from.
May's turning out to be OK after all.

Morning all,
No TTs today but I have transferred £225 across to my savings account which was the expenses part of my Team pay this month.
Balance on this account is now £475 so I'm back on track.
Also paid £300 into my ISA to cover my tax bill. Think I've covered the payment due on 31st July so now saving for the 31st January bill. Honestly, it never ends!!! Lol!
I'm going to weigh in this morning and then I'm taking my friend to hospital for his operation so there's going to be a lot of hanging around today. Taking lots of member support with me so I can at least do something whilst I'm waiting!
Have a good day all!

yes snowballing is just fab0 -
Hi everyone,
Sorry I've been AWOL for a bit - just so busy!!
Something very strange happened today - I went onto Ll0yds to check for TTs to be transferred across to the savings account and spotted an entry from St@nd@rd Life. They've paid £65.76 into my account and I have absolutely no idea why!! No remittance, no email, nothing to explain it.
I mean I'm not complaining but......very odd!
Also, I've emptied Penelope and £2 tin early as I'm away on 25 May.
Penelope had saved £50 pocket change, £2 had £76 in, £60 of which I'll bank tomorrow. So that's £110 for the Savings a/c.
Suppose I should save the £65.76 too. Lol!
About to do franchise account for the group I cover on a Monday. See how much I earned last evening.

Well scary or what. Email just arrived!! It's a dividend on my shares. Wasn't expecting this as usually the dividend is reinvested in more shares.
It's a special 2012 dividend - 22.6p per share!!!
Apparently I have 291 shares!!!
Just about cancels out the admin fee they charge to administer my pension in the first place?!!! Lol
Now I know what it is, I'll save it.Mortgage at end 05/2007: £90200

Woohoo! Mondays group earnings were £72.58 so that's made a big boost towards the £755 I need to achieve my goal.
I might just do this and some!!
However,
I'm away for the weekend and staying 3 nights in a B&B with all the meals that that's going to entail. We'll see what happens. Going to try to just have main courses and no starters/desserts (for my weight loss journey more than anything else), I don't drink particularly so that'll be ok. Might be able to fund it out of "current cash flow". Here's hoping!!!

Good news this morning is that OH has just been told that his expenses have been miscalculated and that over the last 15 months he has been underpaid by £1295. No wonder I felt like I was always subbing him!!
Once he gets it back, we'll save it in our fun fund so that'll be October's holiday paid off in full already.
I'm also due £825 from the Tuesday job I do each week. Not been paid since Dec 31st!! Another great savings scheme! That's basically a full month of my savings challenge plus a little bit.Mortgage at end 05/2007: £90200
