Getting a mortgage and then becoming mortgage-free!

I'm happy to send you a copy of my OP spreadsheet - it tells you the interest saved, among many other things (I can't take any credit for it though - found it online and DH has added a few bits!). Let me know if you'd like it.

Would you mind sending it to me as well please Vix?

Kittenkirst

Thank you!

IKEA trip is a go on Sunday to go and sort out shelving and a desk for the silversmithing room! Wooooooop

The plan is to buy the following:
-sofa bed
-two shelving units
-table top for between the shelves
-boxes for storage on the shelving
-doors for the lower shelves
-bathroom cabinet for en suite
-bathroom hooks for en suite
-rug

So it's going to be a costly trip :eek:

Friends are now coming over tonight for dinner last minute so think we re going to have takeout double eeek :eek:

£475 put into savings today and transferred money into the bills accounts. Also raised an expenses claim for this week so money's back in my purse quicker.

Other than some surveys and checking free postcode lottery there's not a lot of mfw activity at the mo

You forgot tea lights off your list for IKEA - everyone buys tea lights from IKEA when they go. I think it is the law !
Seriously you are making great progress I have really been enjoying following your diary. Have a great weekend : )

Great savings amount. We have started a car boot sale pile too, think we were motivated by a rare day off together sorting the house and Spring like weather!

Kittenkirst

Of course how silly of me!! Some candles will be purchased I'm sure, and a cinnamon roll.

Thanks for the cheering on BusyMee and CathT

Finally had a prolific survey for 60p just now and 75p across some surveys on onepoll...slow but sure!

Im currently unable to sleep having the start of a head cold- boo! Noticed I'm pretty sickly at the moment despite the exercise multi vuts & good eating! So I'm on the sofa in a blanket, cold & flu tablets tissue & revenge boxset on the tv.

Weekend so far has been lovely, friends over until late on Friday £17 spent on takeout (81p cashback!) and went to see my brother yesterday- took him out to a local park and then we all had chippie late lunch (£16 spent). Then popped over to a friends new house whilst we were back in my hometown (it's 1.5hrs away you see) and took them a cake from a local farm shop and had a catch up.

So far a lovely but speedy weekend

A further £5.47 has confirmed on £co so I've quickly withdrawn it to OP this week and the EBay sales are ending today and 5 items will sell (a hoodie already sold on Friday) so hoping we'll end up with another £40 this week on the Bay!

Just off to check for any surveys- may as well try to benefit from being up so early

Decided to shuffle lots of the money and OP today :money: whilst awaiting the funds clearing from various places I have moved £12 across made up of:

:A £3 pinecone payment for survey this week
:A £2.80 cashback from £co (£2.2 insurance comparison site & M&S dressing gown bought in the sale
:A £5.47 cashback from £co for Download festival tickets
:A £0.73 to 'save the change' from the bills acoount

Mortgage payment should clear tomorrow and we'll OP the rounded up figure across too...tempted to send it today but will sit on my hands!

Really hope the head-cold doesn't develop into anything too rotten. You will need a nana nap later xx
