Hope the car is straightforward.

Honestly car is driving me mad.  Light on all way to work but drives fine.  Beeped when I started it up to come home but no light on.  Got petrol, no beep or light.  Sold a Strimmer and 3 games today from my listing at work.  Someone asked if hay racks were still available but haven’t come back again so we will see.

Managed an overpayment of £20 today thanks to some of my sales via the work channel.  Waiting to see if there is an interest rate drop tomorrow as I’m on a tracker mortgage.

In the interests of the greater good, I will join you in hoping for a fall. However, as a saver, I shall be doing so through gritted teeth 🤣!

Another £20 to the mortgage thanks to work sales.  Mortgage now stands at £19,800 and my interest rate has dropped to 5.09%.

It was mortgage DD date on Saturday so it will update tomorrow.  My aim for the end of this month is to get it to £19,500.  I have CC (0%) which I’m trying to get paid off then that payment can be diverted to the mortgage.  I bought 24 little plug plants at A*da yesterday for £5 the lot.  I’m in the process of moving my garden compost bin so have spent the afternoon sieving compost and have potted up my plant stand and hanging basket.  Hoping good weather and home made compost will help them flourish.  Got my son’s broken glasses replaced yesterday free of charge, popped to M and S and bought him a pack of 3 short sleeved school shirts for £18. they should last him until the end of next school year as I bought a bigger size (14/15 and he’s only 12!).  Also realised its 2 weeks on Monday we go camping so we also ended up in Go Outdoors to buy the gas cylinders and some rock tent pegs (1st site we are going to says you need these as rocky under the layer of grass).  I’ve got a camping check list to download but I think we only need to think about food now.  The site is only about 25 miles from us so if worse comes to the worse we can always come home 🤣

Oh I love camping!! Sound great and here's hoping to car is just a loose connection

so I have just managed to over pay £70.46 to bring the mortgage down to £19,499.  The rest of May will be expensive I'm afraid so that's going to be it for May.  Going camping on Monday for 2 nights so food required and the balance of £32 to pay on arrival.  We have my cousin staying from Wednesday and going to see Mary Poppins on Thursday.  I also have the final balance of £65 to pay for our summer holiday camping trip and £34 to pay for a school trip for my son.  Also add in new school uniform/shoes/trainers etc and generally increasing bills we are a little snug.  However we have a roof over our head and food in the cupboards so I count myself extremely lucky.  I witnessed the most wonderful thing today.  I have a bee house on the garden fence and I could hear a scratching noise so I suspected one was making its way out.  I kept checking back and was lucky enough to see it emerge!  I wished it luck as it flew off towards my flowers; isn't mother nature the most wonderful

Winston loved camping and was such a good boy ❤️
