    Managed to pay off £427.65 of the loan balance as I overpaid on the first with money saved from downgrading to the bus this month instead of the train. I actually paid in £520.64, so £92.99 went straight to the bank, but I've saved £17 in interest. It will get better and better the more I keep going. :)
    Keep reading books!

    Sorry for the slow update. Had a bit of a horrendous day yesterday (see my mfw diary for more information) regarding bump, so not felt like doing much.

    Anyway, spreadsheet updated :)



    slowlyfading, hope all is better now. Take it easy, put feet up and supervise! Keeping you in my prayers.

    Oooh interesting post. I was wondering what the dream fund in your sig was for! How exciting to have made such a good start on it.:beer: I am following with interest. You and Mr MM have got me thinking about FI. I suspect that for me as a single 35 year old renter that ship sailed a few years back. :o But my income and attitude are much better these days so I will review after I've bought a house. Mr MM would surely tell me to get on with being badass, no excuses and better late than never!??:rotfl:

    Sorry been away fro a while, RL has been challenging recently. Some fabulous saving going on here as always- think is going to be a big fat zero for me in June though- but I will wait and see nearer the end of the month.

    A massive thank you to edinburgher and lomcevak for all of the advice re geriatic laptop I really appreciate it. I will be attempting to resus it (maybe with help of friends techy hubbie :D ) with some of the suggested things after payday- handily the laptop is an '08' Mac book!

    Congratulations on a baby edinburgher too! :j
    SF- been enjoying your blog- inspiring!
