            First holiday of the year saved up for fully including spends. Hurrah. Money transferred to a separate account until needed.
£0.57 claimed from tcb :rotfl: transferred to holiday pot for second holiday.
Annual mortgage statement received not made a huge dint this year but happy we have paid off £2392.31. We have done lots more work on the house this year than we ever planned. It's all done and lovely now so no more anticipated spends in the near future other than general upkeep.

            Thanks Blue!
Chip chip chip! Just claimed 2.50 from tcb as a £2.63 Amazon voucher. I'm near a payout on VO so will give me nearly £18 to get a couple of gifts with.
DH has asked me not to mention moving or overpayments to him as its really stressing him out. He takes his responsibility to provide for us very seriously bless him. I've assured him there will be no more talk of it. I'll just have to do it without him realising :rotfl:Mortgage Jan 13 99260.00 87253 April 2017

My Oh is exactly the same and I think keeping quiet is the best option, just get on with ityourself then show him the statements at the end of the year
 my OH is fully in support of OP'ing but he's always been a spender not a saver and talking about it just bores him.  So I do most of it myself and just update him every now and then

Spag bol in the sc for dinner. I read the building blocks freezer thread yesterday on the os board. Felt very inspried by it. I do lots of the things already but always useful to get extra ideas.
I am working tonight and tomorrow. We have an unplanned dinner out on Sunday that won't be cheap but should be nice.
Have a lovely weekend.
