    Well done!

    Q - what do you use to track your steps and what do you to colour in you house?

    I've got a vivofit which I got as a gift. It's really good yo motivate those extra steps!. House is a little picture of a house made up of squares representing the value of the house. As the mortgage goes down I colour in the squares :-)

    That's what it's all about isn't it. We are now in the position where if things went totally wrong we could downsize and be mortgage free. Still as I'd like to stay I have to work on getting the mortgage down to give the financial security. That is the hard bit!
  • Was just going to get the meerkat movies by buying £2 travel insurance but I already have it for the van insurance I brought earlier in the year. Result and £2 (on the unwanted travel insurance) saved already!
  • Thank you!

  • Absolutely nowt to report this week.

    Building up to writing a blog post but no money motivation!

    I think in 4-6 weeks we should be back to normal on the money front post heating disasters! thank goodness for that! It's actually taken a lot longer to recover from the disaster than I thought

    It's always surprising how these thing can knock us off. So close to back on track though and think you also got solar panels in that time.

    I will be waiting for your next instalment on the blog.
