    A little late but here are last weeks numbers 
    £500 saved into PBs ..Total £4000
    £137.03 saved extra from selling etc .This money is going in to PBs too 

    I had a really good week food shop wise .I got lots of bits from Olio so only spent just under £30 over the whole week which was brilliant

    Thank you savingholmes 
  • Wow you are doing well with your savings and meeting your targets each week.  You are certainly making some inroads into the mortgage and you will certainly meet your goal if you keep it up.

    Good luck  :)

    Thank you Mrs_Binxtoria ..I think i have become a little bit too obsessed with this mortgage and numbers to be honest !

    Week 9 £500 paid in to PBs this week ...Total £4500

    Selling not going so good this week not sure why that should be but i need to get some bits listed and fingers crossed that its 70% off fees tomorrow and over the weekend

    Food budget going really well again this week ,we have been invited out twice so there should be some savings in this pot too this week
