Week 16 ..
Due to having already paid this weeks overpayment to the mortgage last week i only needed to pay £250 in to PBs which i have done
Numbers now at £8000 since this year began i am so very happy with that
My make £14 a day challenge has rather fallen by the wayside at the minute until i get my other sideline running smoothly .In the end it should help to make the £14 a day target much easier ,fingers crossed2 -

Week 17 £250 in to Mort OPs
And £250 in to PBs
Total £8500
Week18 £250 in to Mort OPs
