Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

That's a great figure from MB and still ebaying like mad, well done.

Good luck with the car negotiations later

Welcome back SJ! Reminded me I haven't been the best with my diary these days either. Glad to see you are still keeping at it with TT and OPs. Good luck with the car haggle

Car haggle hasn't happened as time has beaten me, so will have to move onto that on Sunday afternoon. A great positive for the day though is an unexpected refund of £214 from Gas & Leccy. Unfortunately there wont be a prize for the successful guess about where the money will be going, but please feel free to try...

I've basically set a challenge of a net reduction of £1,100 per month as that will get me to magical figure of £99,999 at Christmas. To be honest i reckon I'll fall short by about £600, so ill say it now and you can all hold me to it...

If I miss the target by less than £1k i will make this shortfall up with MB cash :eek:

£99,999 :eek: Oh good, glad to hear it, that means you can push to shove another 99, making it still under the £1K
:T :j :beer:

Its like a never ending spiral of mental torture to constantly round figures down!!

Apologise for being a bit of a pain.

Appreciate what works for me, won't work for everyone, just trying to encourage/push/nudge just that little bit more

If everything works out, hope to pay mortgage off in 8 years, and on target with my crazy method of o/p'ing

The difference between .00 and .99 is amazing isn't it!

Welcome back SJ. Glad to hear you are still on track. Getting under the £100k mark is a massive motivation. Keep going strong and you will get there.

Thanks lippy, as ever though i can never seem to make up any ground on you!

Long day in work today that included spending 200 miles of motorway when its 25deg outside! Hayfever has been appalling today so currently sat sulking amongst a mound of soggy tissues. 1 tablet a day since April and 2 per day this last week and it has no effect at all.

9 ebay items sold today for £30.70 which is fab, £62 on MB and TT'd 77p!

I have a booking to test drive a car tomorrow at 1.45pm. If it's as good inside as it looks on the pics and video's I'm determined to buy it. I'm sick of looking and just want it done with now. The price is great even if cant shave anything off, so definitely not cutting nose off for spite...

Good luck with the car!


Hayfever, try some LOCAL organic natural honey. Apparently the local pollen to you will be in the honey and help you build up some sort of gradual immunity. My friend at work is convinced it works.
