  • I have been neglecting the diary sorry but all is madder than usual here. But good news is that I am not scrimping on the overpayments.

    Another £200 transferred last night. The cpp card claim was successful with the help of :money: tips on how to fill in the form and the rest was raiding the piggy bank. I will ring the mortgage company a little later for an updated figure. I get paid next week so if there money left then we will make another op.

    Went to sain and bought some more 1/2 price meat even though the freezer is full.:o

    Garden has been cut back this morning and we are going to harvest some potatoes this afternoon. :cool:

    Hubby and I wanted to go and see transformers at the cinema as we were on holiday where it was filmed but the 2 tickets were £25 :eek: why is it so expensive.? Have bought the tickets through tastca@@ so it is 40% off.

    Happy weekend

    Well done on the o/p!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Holiday clothes for hubby in sale £160:o most 30-50% off :money:
    It worked out about 9 tops and a pair of swim shorts.

    Swimwear £102 in sale 1 tankin and a costume.:eek:

    Before my diary I would have thought nothing about this.

    Nice day but Blimey money goes quickly. Going to look at the accounts to make an op, and sad as it is,going to add the proper price of the clothes up on hubby pile to make myself feel better.

  • Thought I would post as its been a while since I did a proper post.

    Work is not settling down but in a good way, I now have a very high profile project that seems to be going well. I had a mid year review and my boss is pleased.

    Work are offering to teach me german which after a debate with myself, the non lazy part of me decided it was a good idea. :A

    Has anyone used Rosetta before ?

    I am gradually getting through the freezer mountain of food and this seems to be working wonders for the budget. :D

    Going to Italy on Wednesday so diet might go out the window. Fingers crossed we will do a lot of walking or swimming to keep the cheese/pasta/pizzA off my hips. Lol. Diet needs to be going faster as I put on a pound this week, was really upset as I had been resisting all bad things. :mad:

    Planning to make an overpayment of £300 before we go and then see what is left at the end of the month to top it up.

    Anyway I can hear noise from upstairs so better stop rambling and get properly dressed.

    Nein :rotfl:

    Which along with Ja and Bratwurst is just about my total knowledge ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
