    DS interview went well, just wait and hope the transfer goes ok, also have put in an appeal letter to student finance to try and get his first year tuition fees paid....time will tell. OH is still enduring gas course but not without a good moan in the process.
    Had little slip up today and bought some leather boots from marksys 50% off sale only paid £29 real leather and so comfy....naughty I know, but cheered me up having such posh feet :D:D

    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 :D.

    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
    Kept £20 for leather handbag I have had my eye on for some time, feel I deserve a treat for all that cleaning :T

    DS 300…. CC 4,940 …. Mortgage £100,000 /£63,270 paid £36,730 remaining....Xmas hols £17.50

    Thank you Skinny, remember to not forget about yourself during the pay off your mortgage process, it is so easily done :D xx
    After a hard day yesterday I finally got to my front door, I was soaking wet and loaded down with bags of shopping, I caught my reflection in the hall mirror :eek: and I am sure I was playing a re-run from Shirley valentine, only wish I could now fly off to Greece LoL
    Soo today my plans are to splash out and buy: new nails Primarky £1
    new coat will spend approx £30
    some new underwear
    New jeggins £7
    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 crossed

    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.....
    £10 paid off cc
    £120 will be paid into mortgage savings today, money left from college payment, invoiced £500 we had put aside £620 :D:D...

    £90 paid into mortgage. :D
    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 :(:(
