Giblet's mortgage free journey

I hope your slimming group wasn't as bad as you thought. If it helps, I can guarantee I've been eating worse than you and I haven't worked for over a year.

Hope you get a bit of a break soon to recover properly. xxx

Hope you got on okay at SW.

Glad you are feeling overall more positive.

Thanks all,
What a ridiculous busy week it has been. Need to get back to the overpaying
Hope everyone is well?
Off for Sunday lunch shortly, and possibly some work later but quite fancy a day off. We'll see how long motivation lasts

Well it was a nice day. Too much food eaten. Family time. And then a bath and chill with DH. I know I'll regret not doing any work when tomorrow rolls around, but for now, it has been the right decision.
Signature updated... in the 122000's it's coming down bit by bit......
Made a cheeky £90 tilly tidy also. It would have been rude not to
In less happy news, my car is poorly (no demister or heat) so as I can't do another 1.5hr commute with the windows down in these baltic conditions, in to the garage it goes! Luckily, DH is letting me borrow his, so will do a regig of my day, and take him to work first. Two cars may be an extravagance but on these type of days I'm very glad.
Right, goodnight all. Sweet dreams of mortgages paid and financial freedom x

Well car is fixed, and my lovely daddy won't tell me how much it cost (broken heating control) so it hasn't cost me anything. I'm playing daughter taxi this week, and do buy food for them etc., but still feel a bit guilty tbh.
Another long day (14hrs at 2 jobs) so feeling a bit weary. Lovely tea waiting for me from my gorgeous DH tho, and watching professional Masterchef before bed so nice relaxing evening.
In mse news, got my mortgage OP statement through the post and we now have taken about 2.5 years off the term so am happy with that need to keep motivated and get that much shorter. Waiting on pay from job 4 which will all be OP'd
Hope everyone is doing well xx

Two and a half years is amazing. Don't be trying to do too much though.

Thanks inod. I do have a tendency to do too much! I keep thinking of those lovely overpayments x

It's hard not to get obsessed with it I can imagine.

I think I will be like this too.

2.5 years off your term is brilliant!

Hi all,
I'm really sorry to not have been around, but I had a bereavement at the end of November, and am just really getting back to 'normal' (whatever that is) or some semblance of it.
Things have been tough, and lots of unplanned spends (mostly food!) but on both money and healthy eating fronts, I'm trying to do better, and January was an improvement.
Also getting back to some home projects that have been put off (I have no window in the front atm as I type this) so again, although these jobs are quite expensive ones, they are planned and budgeted for.
I hope everyone else is doing well. Hope to catch up with people soon xx
