Had terrible nightmare last night involving quite a few giant slugs ....meaning of dream apparently I am progressing through life in a slow, steady, and persistent manner also moving painfully slowly toward an important goal. I can see this being a good definition, considering I live and breath my mortgage and have done for years....maybe I should try to take a step back and concentrate on having a bit more of a life, with the odd treat here and there
.
At least OH birthday went without incident relief:)
Paid overtime early as promised ....so managed a whopping £180 into mortgage savings this morning....:D:D

Nice new top approx £10
Radox in sale 80p Wilkios....might buy 2
Nervous day today OH has his last day at college and needs to pass to get his gas cert back for another 5 years, he is finding it really difficult this time around, probably due to the lack of revision.
Update this evening fingers crossed0 -
Good news OH passed gas cert exam....:T
meeting Mama this morning for coffee then early finish at work, so either exciting food shop or even more exciting the ironing.
Didn't get to buy any of my planned spendys yesterday, was to stressed to shop, so will have a quick look today.:)
Builder coming to look at side wall of house also today, all the paper in the living room has gone moldy and peeled around the bottom of outside wall.... and it feels damp, its an old house, so problems are expected but I wish they wouldn't happen so often.....

£90 paid into mortgage.
Have appealed against DS first year tutoring fees being stopped...blooming student finance, but they need further evidence regarding course change, everything seems to be a major battle lately. If he stays in current Uni then fees are paid if he moves closer to home he loses 6,000 in 1st years fees...makes no sense ?? Anyway haven't given up the fight yet.
Supposed to be having a nice day out today but wont hold my breath as OH is worse for wear from last night, so no change there
Doc appointment made for week after next earliest appointment they had....hope he can give me something to help me sleep .....desperate for a good nights sleep, might put a smile on my face, right misery guts lately lol:(
DS 300…. CC 4,930 …. Mortgage £100,000 /£63,470 paid £36,620 remaining....Xmas hols £21.000
