The MF pipe dream

Well, a quick update. 
So I've finally got round to decorating the small room. It's my little poky 'bedroom' that currently houses my desk and computer. It took me 3 days to wallpaper and paint it and it looks really good (if I do say so myself!).  I live around the corner from a W!ckes and luckily, the day I wanted to start on it (Friday) was the day it opened back up. Pure coincidence lol. I spent £12 on a few bits and bobs for decorating and cracked on. I already had the wallpaper and paint which I bought months ago.

I've decided I'm going to get a day bed and put it in there, it will only be a single bed but hey ho, it'll be handy to have. My guitars are going to be hung on the wall so I've ordered some wall hangers for them. I bought a lampshade from John Lew1s last week and that is now up. 

I have been furloughed from work til the end of June now. I'm thinking of keeping the kids home with me if I can get away with it. I'm apprehensive about how they will keep nursery  children apart and I don't  feel 100% about sending my 4 year old back to nursery yet. 

I keep promising to update my sig,but I'm on my phone and not sure I can do it properly on here. Current mortgage balance stands at £80228.??

It did  I can't recall what the pence is. Think its 52p, but I can't be bothered to check

A quick Tilly tidy, and £6.04 sent to the mortgage. Interest will be added to my balance in 5 days.

Almost $20,000.00 paid since October 2015 is very impressive. Well done.

Thank you Leigh! It's so lovely to hear. I'm now thinking of all the money I would have stashed if I didn't overpay my mortgage. I could cry 😂

I've only gone and flipping done it!! Another milestone achieved. Mortgage balance is officially in the 70s, standing at a grand total of £79812.02p! So happy I could do a handstand
Took me 18 months to get out of the 80s. Let's see what happens with this...

Ugh! I've been putting money towards to my mortgage whilst being furloughed. Beginning to think this was  not a smart move with the benefit of hindsight. I've had a leter come though from my employer. They would like employees, myself included to take a voluntary pay cut. We aren't obligated to and there will be no apparent repercussions if we say no.... but if everyone opted out I reckon there would be potential redundancies. I've got til the end of the month to decide what to do. I'm guessing a pay cut would effect my pension to? It would (initially) only be for 3 months. Feeling pretty worried but trying not to get too down hearted.

So sorry Youth about the stressful work option. I hope that if you do take the paycut that it is truly temporary and will sort itself after all this is over.
