Hi

Just trying to get back on track with posting and found your post. We have very similar MFW dates. I am aiming for 25.12.20 so I can surprise my other half on christmas day

Look forward to reading more of your MFW journey

Still cold now! I held off outing the heating on last night by going out for a walk to warm up. Hope you're well.

Really good thanks. How's the extension going. Still holding off on the heating but brrrrr it is cold again this evening.

Had a takeaway for tea tonight as had to pick up an extra one from school as her dad had to go to hospital for a emergency op. It was a great excuse for a takeaway.

Not a lot to report on the OP front for now as I'm finding it easier to work it all out at the end of the month.

Party plans going well, just need to invite some people!

Oh that's a brilliant idea, as my BF has no idea of our mortgage it would be a real suprise for him!

OKay dokay, temp in house has gone down to 15 degrees. Heating on for an hour to get some washing dry and to defrost the house.

Will go off again prior to bed. It seems so cold for mid May.

Edit : now feeling boiling so turned heating off at 8.15 I'm never happy.

On a positive note get paid Monday and going out tomorrow (football, theatre and meal out) but this is all accounted for and all tickets paid for, it just happened to all ve on the same day.

That reminds me I must scan for cheap theatre seats

Have spent so much money in the last couple of days compared to normal but have had a fabby fun weekend and thinking about it I used to spend that much every weekend so the odd one doesn't hurt. Also the last opportunity I had to see my team play in a play off final was 2002 and it could be years again before we go to Wembley again so come what may we've gotta go!

On the plus side about £3 on its way from Quidco to my mortgage account! And I've written another blog post about getting free stuff in case you don't know the address the Link is in post 292 of this diary.

Planning a couple of days camping in the school holidays weather permitting, may need to spend a bit on a few bits of camping stuff but not much spends at all :-)

Sold an iPhone 4 on eBay, then the buyer pulled out of the sale. That's the last 3 times I've sold on eBay they buyer has pulled out. I think I will give up on eBay for good :-(

On plus note blog page views as just flew past 2000! Amazing!

Am just going to pop my phone to a recycling company tomorrow and will see how that goes. I'm trying out a music review website too at the moment, if it's any good I'll let you know!

Had some great freebies from the MSE freebies forum just lately so inspired a post on my blog http://stretchyourpennies.blogspot.co.uk which features the forum and another website. I blooming love a freebie!

The tickets for Wembley arrived today, yay. I literally can't wait, 6 days to go! New hat purchased for my son at a whopping £12 but he lived it.

also spent loads on applying for a new passport today and purchased the paper plates etc for surprise party from the £ shop today. Got some lovely thick ones and spent £17 in total on paper plates!!! Hid them in the accounts at work, he'll never ever go there!

Made a OP of £3.80 !!! To round down mortgage to a rounded amount. About £3 is on its way from quidco and then regular OP Goes in on 24th.

This week I also topped up my oil tank as the price was quite low. I forgot to mention that. That should last til about Christmas unless this perpetual cold keeps up as the solar heats the majority of the water at the moment.

Talking of solar, I do my first FIT reading next week. All FIT payments are going straight against the mortgage!

CC is now 4600 it is on a 0% and is all the costs of moving (removals, solicitors, mortgage fee, etc) rather than a built up debt and would have just been part of the mortgage. It's interest free for about another 12 months I think and hope to have the bulk of it gone by then.

I have updated my sigs
