Sarah - looking back it's amazing and terrifying!. At times I think "what on earth were we thinking?"
DFOD - love the idea of different colours. My black sharpie pen seems very dull now!
Tidied 33p this morning and we're edging ever closer to accounts day. Some great news in that our water bill has gone by £15 per month (I always thought we were overpaying), so that will trigger a spreadsheet adjustment and in particular the mortgage OP column!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -
Impromptu caravan weekend with dreadful reception. Just pinching our neighbours wifi...ssshhh!
Tilly tidied £1 this morning so now over £20 for the month on this. I did have my quick spreadsheet adjustment yesterday and will be upping my OP SO by £30. This will start in September and is quite a sizeable increase. To be fair it won't really stretch us either which is a reflection of how much we've taken on board the whole MF world.MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -

£1 TT'd this morning. Lazy morning featuring tea, sausages and cbeebies! Then pack up, load car, quick hoover round then home for lunch.
Kids super excited as we're getting a hamster this afternoon. DS1 wants Rex, Mrs SJ wants Ernie and I want Boris!
I'm super excited for seeing my dog (we didn't bring him caravan this weekend) and posting accounts, updating spreadsheets, updating signature and brick colouring...MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -

That sentence alone read in isolation from a non MSE-er would make you seem a strange sort of guy! Luckily us lot on here know you're ok!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Without seeing spreadsheet for a few days I can't work out/remember how close to the 129k's we are, so you can imagine the anticipation!! Hoping it's within £10, as then I'll make an extra OP!! Could be 2 bricks, all of the 130k's and top target from post 1!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0
