    All sounds good and I'm sure your son will get over not playing football yesterday. Excellent eBay news. I've a few things for sale on there which should hopefully add something to the savings total if they sell but at the moment it does seem quite quiet on there.

    Totally different topic but every so often I think someone with knowledge of websites could make a lot of money just catering to the classic car parts market of ebay (search isn't too great for old car bits, IMO). Pity I know nothing about computers. :rotfl:
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500
  • You're right, he'll get over the football.

    Ps nowadays anyone can create a website using Wordpress. Niche ideas are the way forward nowadays. The only way to make money online.

    Terrible this week, but I'm already nearly up to my annual estimate and it's only been about 8 months I've had them. I will be well over annual estimates for my area by the time I've had them a full year.

    I've had 2 fit payments so far totalling £420 covering spring and summer.

    I use every kW generated via my iboost so oil and electricity savings higher than I expected.

    Overall I'm very happy :)

    If the sun ever comes out again it may happen, must track down Norfolk dream and say if you want to see the sun again, stop dreaming!

    In other news got another few £ paying out via quidco for a referral so a big thanks to whoever used my link out there in the Internet! That should make my cashback about £100 this month and should be about the same again before the end of the year as a lot is ready for payment soon. This for extra £££ is really going to help me try to meet my £5000 target which 3 months ago I thought I had no real chance of ever reaching. I'm hoping to be within 10% of it and I will be overjoyed if you consider for 4 months I did very little except my regular OP.
  • Today was not a NSD. Had to pay £5.50 for parking :(

    On week 2 of my school maths course which was addition and subtraction. Showed us how they are taught in school nowadays. Really helped me.

    Tomorrow I have week 2 of my counselling course. I'm really looking forward to it. Managed to do all the reading whilst Miniocc was at beavers yesterday which I'm chuffed with. It's also the busiest week at work too, I can't wait for the week to be over to be quite honest.

    The money shuffle has started today. Will be keeping a check on this in the next few days.

    I have £20 personal spends to last til personal spends payday on 18th.

    2 of my ebays are definitely selling and lots of the others have watchers. I'll be a bit disappointed if at least half don't sell.
  • We're in the same boat of very little personal spends left and buying till the 20th!! Although we could very easily 'borrow' from other funds being a true MFWer there's a flat refusal to do so!!
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......

    I'm going to last out, no problemo!!! Tbh I'm still in the stage of borrowing from different pots with all my bills as with the exception of personal spends I don't have pots just a big one for all bills.

    My plan for 2016 is to organise my bills funds in a better way so that I know exactly how much I need.
