Hi Hetty, sorry to hear your cat is missing. Enjoy your holiday next week. Hope you manage to get a bit of time to yourself too!

Hi people, just a quick note as I’ve not updated my mortgage op this month.  Cat still missing ☹️ However I haven’t given up hope that she’ll just jump over the garden fence and act like nothing has happened.  Holiday was a bit wet and the bats and pizza event we had actually gone for was cancelled due to weather! Ah the beautiful English summers.....still we had a change of scenery and the observatory was good fun.  My son is back at school and his behaviour is better; he is already seeing the ELSA lady at school whom he adores.  I’ve remortgaged which will kick in on 1st November and save me £90 a month without doing a thing.  I need to re evaluate my bills account as some “pots” are overflowing, such as days out, so I may not need as much going in as usual for a little while.  Roof still not done.  I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and he is doing a school roof but hasn’t forgotten about me (apparently).  Looks like I’ll be wfh until after Christmas and possibly beyond depending on second waves.  As I didn’t get full childcare being at home is helping with that side of things.  Talking of which nearly time to go and pick him up 😉

Glad things are improving for you. Hope you get a date for your roof soon.

Today I have overpaid my mortgage by £400 and bought a £150 premium bond.  My mortgage is now £51,402 and I might be able to pay a bit more towards the end of the month.  My remortgage payment amount will be calculated on 31st October so my overpayments are the priority at the moment.  I would love to be at £50,500 at this point and I could borrow some of the extra from my pots; my emergency fund is allocated to the roof but there is some extra in there too.  Think I have got a second hand bike for my son for Christmas.  A friend is selling one of his kids bikes and another friend says I can store it in their garage.  The bike looks in really good condition and they only want £55.  It may be a little big but I can guarantee my child will grow 🤣

Great news on the mortgage payments & the bike.

Doing really well

Today has been a good day 🥳. Look who turned up!  Wet and mucky and very very thin but otherwise unhurt.  Has eaten a full tin of sardines and is now asleep in her basket.  She is due a few days of pampering which I’m more than happy to provide.
