Hello, hope things are going well at work. Been reading about your robovac but I decided unless it actually shifted all the rubbish off the floors first it would have very little visible space to vac! It may also get lost under the beds and never be seen again.....What I really need is a “self picking up son” but that creature is virtually extinct 🤣SPC #023 SPC 12: £125.86[/COLOUR]:SPC 13: £214.98: SPC 14: £297.41 SPC 15: £237.27 SPC 16 £335.39; SPC 17 £662.09 SPC 18 £20MFW #21 Mortgage start Dec 2015 £79,950; June 2025 £19,394.00 2025 OP £1589/COLOR]/£2,000 MFiT T6 #3 £19070/£25,500 (72.82%%) MFiT T7 #3 £2050/£21,930 (9.34%)9

Thanks Grogged and Jess 😃
Well, the mortgage DD went out this morning and the balance was £55,177.23, so I had a little think and a little look at my bank account and made another overpayment of £377.23. The new amount is £54,800. I've now crossed 3 boxes off my chart, very exciting! My new monthly DD amount is £295.45. I'm fine with this as I can keep track of my overpayments and save what's left over.
My birthday was yesterday and I did well, receiving £210 altogether and getting lots of goodies. Most of the money was in cash so instead of doing an online shop, I will actually visit the supermarket so I can pay with the cash. Rescue dog did need a booster today so that was £31 gone in the blink of an eye, but he's most definitely worth it.
I've got a few days off work so I've done some sorting out and boxed up some books for ziffit who are collecting tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'm tackling clothes. I'm not one for buying a lot anyway but I do tend to keep clothes for a long time so I could do with getting rid of some things I no longer wear. Our local fire station has a clothes bank so I can drop them off there straight away.
I did a birthday stream and played a horror game, which proved very popular with viewers, who love seeing me jump and I made £102 from that, not bad for 3hrs work!
