    Too true Doris :) ............
    I have decided to change my debt goal and add another 14,000 on to what I am aiming for as regards to my mortgage, this now bumps it up to £40,130 scary. My house is in need of quite a bit of work, including roof, guttering, damp, flooring and lots more. I will make a list of all my improvement plans sometime this week, but I am guessing a rough guide would be around the 14,000 mark to get my house up to scratch. I seem to be managing to pay between £800-£1000 extra a month off my mortgage at the moment so hope-fully will have reached my goal in 40-48 months.3 and a half - 4 years...... wow seems a long way off. So before 2020 I should be mortgage free, with extra money for all my repairs.... would love to achieve this in 2018 who knows might yet. Have sliced another £40 off mortgage today but again I am ignoring my CC head in the sand oops
    NEW DEBTS........

    Feel terrible this morning, another night of that recurring dream.... again lost house and was walking the streets with my suitcases. Finally found new home, dirty little terraced house with horrible thugs living by, shouting and screaming. The dream varies but always has the same meaning that I have lost my beautiful house. When will they stop???? shattered

    After sleepless night roughly 1 hours sleep, got up this morning and walked around in weird trance. Then not sure were the energy came from but zoomed around with vacuum cleaner and polish lovely clean house, (maybe after dreaming I had been moved into a disgusting house had some effect on me). Thought I would have flaked by then but instead decided to pop into town, was very good… no major spends, only poundyland, have started buying my soap-powder, lenor and dishwasher tablets, etc....Good savings. Also made sandwich and bought bottle 29p water, walked around window shopping. Got home about an hour ago, walked my molly moo, made a lovely cuppa and now like a deflated balloon I am exhausted..........going to have a nap....then I will tackle the ironing…..I hope
    TO DO LIST:
    Polish DONE
    Vacuum through DONE
    Clean bathroom DONE
    Mop through
    Clean kitchen DONE
    Walk doggy moo DONE
