    I popped the pledge into my pot like a good girl yesterday :)

    Today's pledge is just 11p as that is all the change I have in my purse. Keeping an eye out for roadkill.
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.

    But But But SUE!!! 4 Months is AGESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I can't be expected to wait that long :eek: :eek:

    Finally got my oven booked in with the technician, so he's coming thursday which means using the non fan assisted oven for 3 days :( after moaning at my mum for about 20 minutes about how it doesn't brown stuff as much as the fan assisted side, she helpfully said maybe I should try turning up the oven as thats the whole point of the fan, to cook at the same speed but at a lower temperature. Well how was I supposed to know :huh: i've only ever used the fan assisted side :o

    Feeling a bit lost today as the garage have come and took my car and the insurance company wont give us a hire car until they know whether the parts will take time to come in or will be relatively quick. If they take time then they will bring our car back again until they arrive, but still means that DH and I are housebound for at least 24 hrs and its already freaking us both out. We hadn't realised how reliant we were on our car :(

    Anyway, got a lovely £2 coin in my purse to pot, and should have a few pennies later after I send DS to the shop to buy all the things I meant to buy yesterday and forgot :undecided

    Oh dear! Hope you manage to get your carpets looking good again. I've got cream carpets and they're a nightmare to keep clean

    I think this is why we don't have cream carpets. We have 2 dark coloured dogs and one moults a lot.

    £4 from the weekend potted and 31p potted today.

    Sadly I rent my flat so my cream carpets are here to stay...unless I can get my landlord to see the light and install laminate floors. Wipable surfaces are so much more child friendly!

    Well, a slightly better day today - all calm on the western front (for now anyway). The carpets are "almost" as good as new. I saved for ages to get the same carpet throughout the house - now think that should have been a big swirly brown print one!!!
    £2.75 for the pot.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    It's been a couple of days since I last posted oh the forums, been busy for a change. Finally got myself a job on a decent wage (for my age) of £3.79 an hour, so hopefully when I start I will be doing some overtime to add to the pot. Anyway.. While I've been gone I've potted £3.00 which was change from a spend on an overpriced charger. Bought a tear to my eyes having to spend haha ;) this brings me to just over 10% of my target, slowly all coming together :D
