Yes - half term looms large in our house too. I am only off for a few days (Mr Gnome works for himself so covers holidays). We are all fed up of the morning rush. I just want a couple of days when the alarm clock doesn't wake me up (the children will probably wake me up instead but I live in hope).MortgageStart Nov 2012 £310,000

Thank goodness it's finally Thursday, the day from hell awaits and who knows what time I will be home, but I will be done for 10 days (not going to even think about the work I have to do whilst I'm off - the main thing is no official work!!)
Mortgage payment and regular OP made and Op's for the year now at £1783.98. Just waiting for the actual balance to update so I can colour in another brick.
Another 50p on y0ug0v so now at £47 - might actually hit payout this month on that.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

My daughter is so incredibly tired that I'm actually pleased it's nearly the holidays! We usually get a 6am wake up call but this week I've been having to drag her out of bed at 7.30 - poor thing. Never seen her so tired.Mortgage (Start Sep 2014)- £70,295/£0 - 100%

mortgage updated at £105.596.23 and another y0ugov survey completed, so total at £47.50..
May is going to be truly awful for debt payoff... just awaiting my wages Tuesday, but it's going to be hardly anything I think..
Never mind, will chalk it to up experience. Car insurance will have to go on a credit card this weekend.. Will clear CC5 and probably have another one built up - you can see my recurring problem can't you!!!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
