    Another £100 in to the mortgage overpayments , that makes £400 paid off the balance again this week ,i find it so motivating every time i log in to my account and see the numbers dropping rapidly 

    Food budget is looking good ,i may even have some left over this week fingers crossed im hoping at least five and every penny counts in the MC 

    MC .Still the same as yesterday just under the £50 mark . Nothing has sold on Ebax sadly but i am determined to find another £50 so i can get to the one hundred pounds point and preferably £150 to get to the two hundred pounds by friday evening

    I should have mentioned that i have put around £1000 in to my ISA from the MC so far ,i have been buying shares from funds that i already owned but buying them when they had dropped 34% with the hope that i will benefit if they eventually go up again 
  • Amixo 3032 ..That is certainly one of our thoughts too and is a possibility
    I hope you did it! X
