    November goal Update

    1.) Keep to allocated food budget (have meals for the month so should be doable she coughs) So funny, the batch cooked meals were great BUT I still spent too much

    2.) Fleabay at least one item per week Fleabayed lots and have a net of £87.54 result :T
    3.) Kitchen, having started a partial revamp, I must finish this, cost so far £200 Not got done
    4.) Overpayments, aiming for £50, not a lot but a £1 is a £1 Overpaid £19.91 but have carried underpayment of overpayment forward to next month
    5.) Have one day out with OH :j:j We did and it was great
    6.) Stick to diet OK lets not go there

    December Goal
    1) Reassess food, try to reduce month by £50 (£10 per week)
    2) Fleabay aim for net sales £50
    3) Overpaying aim for £50
    4) Have one day out with OH
    5) Really stick to flippin diet……….think of the 2 gorgeous suits that don’t quite fit
    6) Living room, put up lights, buy flooring, curtain hold backs
    7) Sort junk in dining area and move in table
    :D

    Well Today my dear friends is the anniversary of my first posting on this fabulous board


    ONE YEAR...................can't believe it.

    Now normally I would have looked at that post and told you ALL the things that I didn't achieve this year, the plans that got away :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    BUT

    I'm not going to even look at it, we do so give ourselves a hard time over stuff we have not quite managed instead of what we have done.

    Today I have knocked 4 months off my mortgage and that is a start to be celebrated :T:T:T:T:T

    Roll on year two :D:D

    :T. 4 months off your mortgage is fantastic well done you! :T

    I always think looking forward is more exciting & constructive than looking back so am working through my 2017 goals. Do you have any specifics?
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!

    Happy 1st diary birthday :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
