that's good
if/when we get a mortgage ill be joining you all on the MFW board properly, don't want to be paying it off any longer than I have too 
I hope we can get a decent deposit together over the next 6/7 years.
im in college for the next 2/3 years and then hope to go to university after so we wont be able to apply for a mortgage for at least 7 years I don't think but hopefully starting now we will have a reasonable deposit by then.200 weeks £25,000.00 / £7000 -

pup has fell asleep in his bed. things I need to do tomorrow
book baby in doctors
post 2 items paid for (3 if buyer has paid by morning)
phone vets book pup for microchip and jabs as close to 3rd march as possible
phone council for pets permission form
try and keep calm when a certain someone finds out and phones and moans about us getting a pup/pet because they have nothing better to moan about

pup has been good as gold.

finances have took a small hit but Im determined to soon be back on track
ive still got loads listed on ebay and will be listing more today and tomorrow
im hoping to join next months £10 a day challenge
I will update next week of where we are financially
for some reason my balance hasn't updated on tcb even though I have made purchases through them. anyone experienced this before ?
not a lot to add on the financial front other than apart from the pup we have stuck to budget but I should still hit our target200 weeks £25,000.00 / £7000
