Sooo, in light of earlier musings this week, I have today cancelled the regular mortgage OP - I will put these aside for the next few months, but if we are moving to home ed, then I need some back up for a few months.. will still throw everything I can at the CC as that needs to be gone.
Just done a whole load of surveys for ips0s and hit £10 payout so an Am@zon voucher requested, could of carried on, but got a bit bored by them.. so will do some more tomorrow.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Promptly spent my Am@zon earnings as been watching some paint for the littlies, need to stock up before the summer and also a lead for DH for sending stuff from his PC to the TV(am so not a techie!)
And.. drum roll... :j I have updated the CC owing figure and it's £920.69.. aim for this month is to get that under £849.. still think it's a massive ask to clear that by August payday.. but I do really want it gone.
So drizzly here.. kids supposed to be on a school day out, but reckon it'll be cancelled because of the weatherDFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
