Why Walk When You Can Fly

Those camps are very expensive aren't they :eek:. DD must really enjoy them though.

Good news about being able to overpay the mortgage after the fixed deal. When does it run out?

She loves them, which is good as it also means she's more independent too

Our deal runs out in about 3 years, that gives us enough time to clear the debt.

Morning,

Well that was a week I don't want to repeat again. I think everything caught up with me last night as I was suddenly tired but exhausted kind of tired, I was in bed by 9.30pm.

I have however found a renewed spirit to keep plodding with the budgets and to get rid of the debt. Things are in motion that way, I'm just impatient I think. I need to get the household side of things back on track, I can't let that side slip.

Shopping done this morning but need to nip to tesco for bits I couldn't get and go to the veg man on the market for fruit and potatoes.

Bought some much needed socks today, why is it when you're getting down to your last few pairs, they all decide to go one after the other :rotfl: :cool:

Back later, need to take DD swimming x

Afternoon,

It seems my mum is either sulking or not talking to me after I told her off for messaging my low life brother...long story on that one but he said that we were both dead to him so why she even messaged him is beyond me. Plus I don't think she is happy that I don't want her bf there for my trek.

Oh well, not a lot I am doing to do about it.

So today is our 15th wedding anniversary and DH is going to be home slightly later than normal as he has commissioning on site to be done.

On the upside, I have dinner prepared so all I need to do is make a start on it when I know DH is on his way home.

I've done a few more surveys today and entered a few competitions, may be the competition fairy will grant me some luck and I may win something.

I am in a bit of a quandary with myself....A BIG part of me wants to get rid of the BC but a BIGGER part of me is saying to pay the extra off the MBNA as the 0% finishes at Christmas. The BC is very minimal payment wise and can probably happily tick over in the background.

I think that I have answered my own question, the MBNA really needs to be attacked and I am silly if I don't try to at least get it to as low a balance as possible before the deal runs out.

I still haven't heard from BG regarding my complaint, when I last spoke to them, they said it should be resolved by the first week of June.

Happy anniversary xx
