Trying to get on track

I have somewhere. Maybe it will appear if I get on top of the decluttering too.

Welcome back inod! You sound like you had a great time. Fantastic news on the weight loss. To come back from hols with an actual weight loss rather than a gain is no mean achievement in my book. Positivity as well on the mortgage front. Way to go!

How sad is this. I'm excited about it being mortgage quarter end tomorrow so I can see how much my op have reduced the interest charge. Anyhow, a day of bits and pieces though oh did a dinner plan for this week and I visited lidl to get fruit, veg and other essentials such as bacon. I also tackled some work stuff to give myself a head start for tomorrow. Today I am grateful for
Weightloss
Friends, here and RL
Tea
OH putting a free gift on ebay.

did anyone else see the interest rate forecasts on the BBC website. 2.5% in 2017 and possibly settling long term at 5%. while it's a long way from the rates of the early 90s, that size of an increase scares me. so today was NSD but not brilliant food wise. i resisted the birthday buns in the office but then had a few random sweets. also, due to someone not advising me that a meeting was cancelled before I made the journey, lunch was at my desk so no real exercise done. I did however update my sig as I'm pleased to note that since the start of the year my quarterly mortgage interest charge has reduced by £10.72. i also made the OP relating to my M&S voucher but TT to £9.30.

I didn't see that INOD but it's scary indeed. I'll have a hunt for that. Glad I fixed by mortgage and am overpaying, it was probably you that inspired me now I think about it.

Hooray on the interest reduction :T

And there I was thinking that the only ones I inspire are spiders to live in the dusty bits of my house!

Ooh. You've just reminded me to read the gas meter. Thanks:rotfl:

in_need_of_direction

How did I do that?

Well, I'm not sure now. I was just about to catch up on your thread when I thought I saw a post about you reading the meter so I thought I'll quickly go and read mine before catching up.

But you are right, I must have been having a funny 5 mins. :rotfl:However meter read and it was only £17.79 for last month and my account is £92 in credit. I should be switching to Dalligas soon so will be a refund

Feeling rather tired tonight after a very long first day.
