Getting a mortgage and then becoming mortgage-free!

Hi Kittenkirst - your finances look in good shape and you have a great opportunity to save during this period before you move into your house. Have you worked out how much money you will need for when you move in and how many months you have to save it in ?

I am going with DS tomorrow to choose the options for his house - think he is going to get an upgrade on the kitchen, tiles and carpets and have an extra shower fitted over the bath and a burglar alarm.

Good going Kittenkirst, fantastic news waving goodbye to your overdraft and Tilly Tidying gets a bit addictive. I hate odd numbers !

Some great frugal socialising happening over here

Hi all, not much going on here, a few more pennies swept into savings.

Payday was the 15th so swept £800 over to savings, the Regular saver due on the 1st, that's another £300 into the savings pot

I'm also trying to squirrel away an additional £40 a month to save to go to Download Fest next year (took a year off this year due to house buying!)
It's a close friends 40th and we've decided to camper van it up and do it in more style :-)

Have been gymming this week, eating pack ups and even did a park run this morning!

Film on Monday was pretty good- jumpy and creepy just how I like it

Well done on getting to the gym. Film sounds good but waiting for it to come out on DVD. Hope you remembered to take your own snacks with you!

Hi Cookie, yes I did I took in some (diet) fizzy pop & popcorn. However I did allow myself a naughty ice cream
