Mortgage freedom/FIRE diary

Poppycat1

Mortgage now stands at £72,900.  £97.31 paid off since the remortgage at the beginning of the month.  

My campervan went in for a service and new cambelt Friday, I'm now £560 poorer.  I have 'borrowed' some money from one pot which will be fully paid back in the new year.  It's only because of overtime that I have the money.

I have done really well with Olio this past week.  Last Sunday I went and collected a cream daybed with a trundle bed.  It took me a few hours to put it together, it looks really good.  It will be perfect for when my two boys come to stay.  I will need to buy another mattress because I only had one.  On the way back from collecting it I saw a wooden lamp table with 'free' on it and stopped to collect it.  It's in great condition and looks lovely in my lounge.  I collected from Tesco's last night, lots of use by items that I listed but some weren't requested, so I have several posh pizzas, stir fry mixes, wraps and pasta salads to eat up.  I will freeze the pizzas.

I have spent all my budget apart from £13.88 of my grocery budget.  What is left will go to the mortgage Thursday evening when I get paid.

Little wins,

I have started earning interest, 88p from my new savings account which I keep my sinking and emergency funds in.

Saved £12 on the cats food for December - actually this is quite a big win.

Lots of lovely wins there on the furniture and the food.
