    Managed to get lots of work done today so feeling like I am getting somewhere. Also had a bit of a tidy and listed some stuff on e bay. Have plenty more to get on and hopefully I will get more done tonorrow night or Thursday. Student is two thirds of the way through so it is coming nearer to the end. Feels like we have had someone here since the middle of august pretty solidly. Good for the mortgage if not great for my need for a three hour bath ;).

    Also. Thinking I may make some personalised stockings and list them to sell. I seem to think there are 36 hours in a day. Who needs sleep ;)

    For selling those have you thought about Etsy?

    Found £40 today I forgot I had and also got repaid £20 that I had not expected back. It's half term so making memories rather than mortgage repayments but made usual 200 pounds overpayment so a really health amount ontop of the other two payments this month. Student has finally left. Pretty much had one or two since 17th August. Great for over payments but crazy in life. Will be nice to have the house back to ourselves for a while. :)

    Also.... Went to a jumble sale on Saturday. I listed one thing I got for 20p and made 8.00. That paid for lots of the other jumble stuff. I still have loads of dd a old clothes to list but not got round to it. Maybe I will try listing 3 things a day for the whole of November. Maybe.

    Half term - memories made. Had an amazing week. Mortgage overpayments may be less but boy we had fun. There is always next month ;)

    Took the extra two students. Going to log on to banking today as it has been a few weeks and see where we are up to. 200 pound over payment will be made from the direct debut but hopefully I will make an additional one. Child free weekend so definatly won't be a no spend one. Going out for drinks with friends. I did make my dds costume for school today rather then going to the shop and also have had lunch from home a few days this week. Need to try to bring lunch every day.
