Powers’s mortgage free thread

So transferred £50 out of the holiday pot to me and £100 out of the house pot to the joint as that had stood the cost of the roof!!

we’ve stocked up on meat which will last us months in the freezer, all from local butcher and we got them to hold back on the plastic trays 🙂

Other minor money saving, I’ve cut our printer subscription by £1, it’s now 99p a month. I do believe the printer has become self aware as it’s changed it’s name to Ian on the network 😂 

just pottering about today before back to work (from home) tomorrow

Gotta love a self aware printer. Love the photo and the recouping of £ from various pots.

Quick pay day shuffle 
£50 OP- I’d offered this to OH for fuel when we went to the lakes but he said to OP instead 

£150 to savings- I’ve started a new pot called “other” and allocated £100 to it - hoping that can cover random purchases, clothes etc that normally mess up my spends. I’d prefer a bit of flexibility rather than multitudes of pots. The other £50 has gone into the house pot. 

I’m overdue an update but that’s enough for now😃

Yes hopefully it will help!

A bit of a boring weekend, T has got covid. I didn’t when I tested on Friday and I feel fine but I’m hanging round at home too. Luckily the weather is on our side so I’ve been pottering in the garden. Need to finish our wedding photo book and maybe do some baking today.

OP £625 for March. Our regular repayment has been reduced by £25 so I’ve added it to the overpayment. Remedying it means phoning them which I am putting off. Our fix is up in July for the first part of the mortgage, we can fix again in a month I think. Fingers crossed rates aren’t too stupid by then!

I finally got out for some gardening pottering too - while wearing the baby of course! What garden bits did you do? I sowed some veg - we've had a lot of storm damage that we need to sort out still

Fingers crossed on rates - I'm still fixed until 2024 thankfully

Well done on OP

 
Hope you are both covid free soon.

Good luck with the fix

I’ve put some veg seeds under glass. We’ve cleared an area for a veg patch but need some topsoil to fill it. The old owners had 2 compost bins and a heap around them so I’ve been digging about in that to try and sort it out, some is good and gone back in the bin, some is practically turning into rock so I’ve barrowed that into the hole- saved going to the gym 😂

Everyone testing negative now! Boys back at school but T and I being cautious  for a few more days. Hopefully I don’t get it!
