Diary of my new life !!!

I found €9 in my paypal account I'd forgotten about, so that chucked into the mortgage pot is just enough to tip it over into another month :beer: So the new end date for my mortgage currently stands at July 2030 ... only another 11 years 1 month to get it where I want it But, this does mean that in the last year I have knocked 5 years off my mortgage term :j :j

Right, time to get out of bed :eek: I need a quick shower before I go and se my friend [/quote]


WOW Benben - how amazing must that feel, knowing that you have made all that difference to your mortgage in 12 months!!!! - Way to go :T

I just hope I can do the same - you are definately an inspiration....

Yep Chip, that sounds like my ds's idea of heaven! :rolleyes: He came back from his dads grumpy as hell tonight, he was sooo tired He went straight to sleep then I did my 30 minutes of Wiifit My stomach muscles were aching today from the hula-hooping :j and I havent eaten as much junk as normal Today has also been a no-spend day :T :T

I got myself a free exercise bike off Gumtree last Thursday. The woman was advertising it for nothing so it cost me the petrol to Box ( about 15 miles away ) to collect it. I've swapped it for one my ex-wife didn't want anymore and it's in a discreet corner of the front room now. Tomorrow I start half an hour a day on it, I'd like to do more but I reckon you have the right idea by taking it steady and doing it consistently....:T

I've managed a no spend day today :j and my tax credits and child benefit went in and it was €27 more than I'd bugeted :beer: so €13 of that will be moved to my bills account so it doesn't go overdrawn this month, and the other €14 will be used on treats in half-term next week

Evening all ... today has been a low spend day again, I only spent €1.45 on milk :beer: I have claimed €20 for the focus group I did online last week :j and the money I moved from the mortgage pot into my account last week has cleared today, so I can pay another chunk off the mortgage tomorrow after work
Only a couple more days left at work till half-term now I can't wait Right, feet up, footie about to kick off and a cup of tea in my hand, heaven

Today has been a no spend day again :beer: and also I went to the bank to pay off the money that was in my mortgage pot, so that is another €635 winging its way to my mortgage account :j :j It always freaks me out a bit when I make an overpayment, its a wierd mixture of pride for achieving it and fear in case I suddenly need the money for something else

One more day till half-term I can't wait !! I've got quite a few bits planned now for next week; I've got a couple of mystery shops on saturday, a bbq on monday, helping mum and dad move into their new house on tuesday, a friend coming round for dinner, a few glasses of wine and a sleepover on wednesday, seeing Tigzem on thursday, catching up with a coupe of other friends on friday and then ds will go to his dads at the weekend
