Yesterday was a NSD.
I've had another substantial lottery win of £2.90:rotfl: so that will be £1 to each of the pots when it hits my account.

haha I just diarised an overpayment that totals my two recent 4sda APG's. A little over £3
This is why I love this board, I feel totally normal here:rotfl:
I had a quiet weekend which is just as well as my current account is looking very bare. Roll on payday on Wednesday. However, Mr Gnome has given me some money to pay a bill and included a contribution for the pots too. So there will be an extra £20 for each pot on payday.MortgageStart Nov 2012 £310,000

Payday yesterday. I haven't done the full money shuffle but I have sent £316 to the mortgage which is my standard OP of £230 + £65 share of CT +£20 from Mr Gnome + £1 share of lottery win.
This month has been a really good one, I don't think Feb will be quite as impressive.MortgageStart Nov 2012 £310,000

The money shuffle has now been done. I need to update my signature later to show the end of Jan mortgage figure.
A key task has been completed - My Tax Return is DONE and the tax is PAID:T No £100 fine for me.
The tax owing came to a bit less than I had budgeted (I tend to put a bit extra away just in case) so I will be splitting the surplus of my HMRC savings account between the pots. It will be about £70 for each pot.

I had a letter from the BS yesterday lowering my mortgage payment as I had overpaid by more than £500 in Jan. I have told them to keep the payment the same and shorten the term so hopefully I will have knocked a few days off!:)MortgageStart Nov 2012 £310,000

£25 win on the lottery yesterday. I don't play the lottery on a Wed but I had won a lucky dip last Sat. So another £8.50 for each pot when the money hits my account.MortgageStart Nov 2012 £310,000
