Congratulations on your successful decrofting :T
Wow that is a lot of typing in your queue, good for the pennies!0 -
Fantastic news! :beer:2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000 -
Thanks all, really chuffed
Add another 25 minutes for NEL to the typing queue, on a 24-hour turnaround with timecodes every time the speaker changes - £1 a minute though
Also a good start to the MB day with a £20 win from a free scratchcard on one of my accounts. Slightly marred by a horrible run on a daily blackjack offer I do - usually I end up plus or minus about £1 (I play 20 x 50p hands to get free spins on a slot machine), today the dealer got 9 blackjacks and I lost 18 hands for a £9 loss, which was annoying, doubly so when I got naff all on the free spins. Oh well, the joys of variance!1 -
Congrats on the decrofting!0

In non-money-making news I also found and dug out a well in my field, which is fabulous because it saves me lugging heavy cannisters of water all the way out to the point (the quad, bless it, is only an elderly little 2WD and struggles on the hills with me on it, let alone another 25kg of water!) - see blog for the full story and some pictures!0
