    I was going to suggest the other £200 too!

    Time to hunt for loose change, old bags, down the back of the sofa, the car...... look everywhere!! :)
    June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!
  • Another £59.45 OP sent today as we replaced some fence panels that turned out not to be ours so we got some pennies back..

    In theory I could find the other £150 odd to get me under £80k now, but I don't want to skint us for the month and the monthly interest is still to go on, which will take us back up over £80k which will just make me sad so I'll plod on sending OPs when I can!

    August OPs - £116.79.

    House is so quiet without one child, currently away on camp. Other one has a friend round today, so i am going to blitz the home ed area and probably find a few books to sell etc as well as decluttering the walls that are covered with their work and art!

  • Slight update on the mortgage balance to £80,191.54.

    OP of £14.61 sent today from mobile bill account and a little bit from fleabay!

    August OP - £131.40

    Reached payout of £21.64 from Pr0filic and annoyingly sitting at £24.90 with 1poll. Refreshing that app fairly often today to see if i can nab the 10p I need.

    Washing machine on overload now child has returned from camp. Washed clean and flat out on sofa, hopeful of a good nights sleep tonight!

  • We are under £80k!! £79,999.99 to be precise.

    I reached payout on 1poll, sold an item on fleabay and then it was bugging me, so I sent enough to take us 1p under!

    August OPs - £263.50.

    Done some home ed stuff in between washing and tidying up. Have a few badges to sew onto uniforms and camp blankets for the littlies. Had a trying on session of clothes the next size down, I've got all sizes in my wardrobe! Nice to see the bigger stuff going and the amount in my wardrobe reducing!
