    My original mortgage free date was April/May 2041. now it should be around 2038 I think. My stretch goal is July 2027 because I'm 40 on the 2nd August that year!!

    Now that is scary :eek: Stretch as far as you can :)
    My stretchy stretchy date is 29.2.2020 cause that will be 8 years to the day I took out mortgage and approx 1 month before another BIG birthday :)

    Having a lovely time off work and still have another week to go :j
    Not an awful lot done - but who cares :D I'm on holiday :D

    Received good news on Friday, had entered an Easter comp for charity in work - and I WON :j 1st Prize
    Huge big Easter Basket filled with everything easter - cakes, biscuits, mini eggs, smartie egg, milky bar egg, cream egg, Th:j:j0rt0ns egg (now I didn't type in the 2 jumping for joys in Th0rnt0ns:eek:) kinder mini eggs and eggs, m@ltesers bunnies, oh, this is too much, but there was loads more ..... just as well I was sharing with a work colleague :)

    Also received lots of lovely Easter birthday Gifts as well, including my favourite Yankee Candles, £££'s and lots more. Also went out for a lovely meal. So all in all been a lovely weekend.

    Have been looking at Smart TV's as thinking, just thinking about one. Just thinking :)

    Also received a lovely table and chairs for my garden, and bought a small greenhouse with the some of money I received along with some seeds and bulbs to plant. So my garden will be looking good - as soon as the weather improves - can't wait :D and I still have a voucher that I will really need to spend in the lovely garden centre next to ike@, of course could always use it for tea & cake (huge). :p

    Thinking of everything I have bought - I also got a pair of curtains (bargain), pair of walking shoes - now i'm walking to work (saves on fares :D) and a few other little things. I've still managed a nsd :rotfl:
    :easter: Everyone, I'm off to ........ :EasterBun:EasterBun:EasterBun

    AFK if I give you my address in a PM you are more than welcome to send some my way if it's too much for you to handle :rotfl:

    Hubby took me at my word when I said I didn't want a big egg so that I didn't sabotage my weight loss and exercise regime and he got me 5 malteaster bunnies. when I mentioned this he asked if I was complaining about not getting an egg and I said no. I think I am actually a little put out that I didn't get an egg. Just a little one, or even something egg shaped. You should get an egg at Easter!
    So I had 2 bacon and egg sandwiches for lunch after a rubbish run to make me feel better ������

    Yeah I think August 1st 2027 is my super stretchy stretchy goal. But if you don't have a goal you just end up ambling along don't you? It's only eleven years and I can switch to a new one in 3 years time. I need to go have a play around and see what my LTV could get to by that point...
