    Lots of good news from you. The dog. The tender. Bay. All excellent :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    So, getting the bad news out of the way. Met up re delivery on tender. Goalposts have shifted and they won't want full delivery until jan so feb at the earliest before I see my fee. This is in spite of their spec stating that all was to be done by Halloween. Also, went up half a pound this week. However, Friday was a red letter day as I got my first payment. It was piddling, doesn't even cover the monthly expenses but it's in and it's lodged.
    Today, two types of soup will be made. I'm also determined to get a sb voucher so need around 200 points but do have a double up on one survey. Other bits and bobs to be done but am starting with soft boiled egg in a cup with butter and some toast.
    Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 11st11lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes. Progress not perfection.:T100%through my 1% mortgage challenge. 40.25% through my pb challenge.

    From small acorns and all that, well done :T:T:T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
