All things money

Hi there!

I am a 29 year old stay at home mum looking to keep a diary for all things money related. Basically I'm just trying to stay motivated to chip away at the mortgage and keep making sensible financial decisions. Also I do all I can to earn a few pennies here and there.

Hoping to document my journey from now on. Will be glad for some company!

    Quiet Sunday so not much to report from today.

    Small food shop in L*dl (£11.78) and packaged up a few eB*y sales to be posted tomorrow.

    All meals home made today which was a nice change...far too much eating out recently!

    Not much sleep to be had last night so I doubt today will be as productive as usual, but do plan to get away to the post office and catch up on the washing (!!).

    Will also get some mortgage stats posted so I know where I am.

    You need to PM a board guide to get this moved over.

    Thanks silvercar.

    Have made £24.60 from eb*y sales over the last few days. Got all but one posted today, will sort the final parcel out tomorrow.

    Also reached payout on vypr so that's another £5 made.

    Small spend of £2.34 in l*dl on a few bits for the tea, otherwise a no spend day.

    Thanks beanielou. Kittenkirst I have a little girl.

    Plans for today are a trip to the post office and going to try and sort a cupboard or two. If it's a really good day then I'll tackle some ironing as well.

    Mortgage sitting about 101000 at the minute. Looking forward to getting into the 5 figures in a couple of months time!
