Onwards to The Forever Home

I know how you feel, I believe we're at -£2, payday on Monday :rotfl:

Mrs_E_3

eek a quiet weekend then? I hate running out of money before payday.

I deliberately waited to bank some FB sales cash until today (after payday so it wouldn't get swallowed up), so split between the mortgage and a holiday fund. £12.50 OP'd :j

Mrs_E_3

3 out of my 10 e8ay items sold, and I found some more bits and pieces to list, but did those on a BIN as we're getting a little close for Xmas now.

Mrs_E_3

I've sold a couple more bits and pieces on the bay of E so managed another £9 OP today. I'm splitting my "extra" cash at the mo between OP's and saving for a holiday to see Mr Mouse.

Mrs_E_3

I've joined the £10 a day thread over on DFW. Hopefully it'll keep me motivated to find some extra ways to earn cash to OP.

I've finished decorating two rooms upstairs now and it looks so much better. It's also forcing me to have a really good clear out, so have two bags for the charity shop, a small pile to sell and some toys to pass on.

I did a B!ngo offer last week to hopefully get cashback. Managed to withdraw a profit after deposits of £14 odd, plus an ebat sale today means that the mouse fund and the mortgage got £10.75 each.

Mrs_E_3

No more money news this week apart from a £2 FB sale, that's not going to pay the mortgage off early tho. Still am decluttering after the decorating. Have managed to send two large bags to the charity shop, one load to the tip and have a box for the charity shop filling nicely. There's lots to get through and I really want to live a little less cluttered next year.

Great minds! I've decluttered 2 bin bags out of the playroom today. I honestly don't know where everything comes from. For me it's definitely a case of 'tidy house, tidy mind'.

Every little helps though and if you OP only £1, at least that's £1 you never pay interest on again.

Mrs_E_3

Oh dear I seem to be spending money quicker than it's coming in at the moment, hoping that will slow down once Christmas is over.

Mrs_E_3

In lieu of all the spending, I have decided to play a numbers game with myself. Taking the smallest figure to the nearest hundred pounds from either mortgage product 1 / mortgage product 2 / savings balance / total we owe the world figure, I am going to *find* that figure and OP it.

My smallest figure this morning was £1 which took the total mortgage products together down to £85,899.98 :T

Next figure to aquire is £44.47

Mrs_E_3

Last payday dropped in for the year. Scary to think that next payday will almost be the end of January.

I need to have some serious thoughts on what target to aim for next year, and also think up some ideas on how to achieve it. Back later.....
