Morning all

It's sunny here :T working this morning, then seeing potential new customer this afternoon. Will be taking £10 out of the bank for spends on food which will last us the weekend and then that's it spending wise - hatches firmly battened down x

Hi ATB! Good luck on being mortgage free by 35, you're more than capable so I look forward to reading you've done it!! Fingers crossed for the potential client this afternoon! x

I have set myself a MF date! See signature. By my 35th birthday we WILL be mortgage free.

Ooh things just got exciting around here :dance:

I would wish you luck but then I know you're not going to need it

Thanks guys, your support means an awful lot xx

Ebay item sold overnight so £17 shuffled to the pot. I need milk today but that's it. No other real news other than keep on keeping on!

Have lovely days all x

Plans for the week:

- Achieve NSDs Tuesday and Wednesday (need fuel and to post eBay parcel tomorrow, and need to take a taxi to an appointment on Thursday as opposed to drive)
- transfer £70 to savings once cheque clears (probably Tuesday)
- pay another cheque in on Wednesday when it (hopefully!) arrives
- pay some cash in (gift from grandma) and shuffle to savings (probably do this on Wednesday)
- eat from fridge/freezer


Gosh that's a dull list! All of this does, however, mean we should be on track to OP the £4K by the third week in May :T now if only my final eBay item would sell!

Morning,
My ebay listings don't always sell and when they do ony for small amounts.
Hubby decided to list sometihng he hasn't used for 3yrs and it sells for over £300 - I have now insisted he sifts through the rest of his junk (prized possesions)

Managed to get 6 items listed in eBay this morning, and one of them sold straight away! So £25 shuffled over. If the remaining items sell that'll be an extra £61 (all listed on buy it now) so fingers crossed.

Another sale, another £20 in the pot :j

Morning all

It's a lovely sunny day today, the washing is blowing nicely on the line already. My day consists of some work this morning, then popping to the shops for food (I think DH and the kiddies have hollow legs!) and meeting a potential new customer this evening. I also need to drop a bag of items off at the local charity shop.

Savings pot is growing nicely - I do need to write to our mortgage provider to check how much of our OP allowance for the year we have left as I've lost track - don't want to OP the £4k at the end of the month only to be penalised for doing so! In fact will type letter quickly now and post whilst in village.

Have fab days all x
