    Yay, we carry on for June. Thanks fairyclicks. On target so far for June with 12.00 saved. It's just me not doing takeaways, or magazines and watching my grocery shopping.

    Well done, it's amazing what you can save money on when you put your mind to it isn't it? :)

    Thanks guys :) been having a money day today to try and get some things sorted - CC paid in full (am using it only to repair credit rating) got another long standing debt paid off so just one more to go now :) and transferred another £250 into regular savings account so thats £750 now in that account ready to pay off mortgage at the end of the year!

    Today i have added some points to my swagbucks balance for todays £1 target - should soon be able to claim another £10 on there in good ole hard cash via paypal :)

  • Morning all! I've been looking at my mortgage spreadsheets and figured out that i've saved £12.90 this month on interest by overpaying for the last few years, so i've added it to my mortgage op account. That brings my total so far for this month to £30.29. :)

    Keep up the good work everyone.
