Blooming expensive month. Again. House insurance. Pantos to pay for. A long weekend away TOTALLY WORTH IT with the kids. Hubby flapping like mad at credit card bill.

I'm on target for 81 pound off mortgage as well for my zero club xPart time worker.

It's a reasonable situation to be in if redundancy is looming and roles are hard to come by. I'd certainly want to make sure that I have sufficient in savings if that was a possibility for me.
