    Since I last posted £5 and £9.10 on ebay sales, suits I got for free (one mum bought and one with tescos vouchers but both too big now so I'm pleased)

    Then 82p change from some Waitrose vouchers mum and dad gave us for Easter bought something useful and some wine and this was the change and they were real vouchers so I actually got the money.

    Got 3 sales lined up tomorrow that should really help total and clear some stuff out of our house!

    Current total: £306.77
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
    Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
    Overpayments to date - £79.62
    Current Mortgage free date - January 2058

    I worked a days overtime on Sunday so will get time and a premium for that. Won't add it though til it hits my bank account next Friday. Overtime is a rare thing where I work so snapped this up!!

    £44 to add today - :j:j

    Sold an old bookcase for £10 to someone at work, it's been in 3 houses and wasn't bought by or OH so result there!

    Then £4 for a couple of t shirts I wore for events whilst I was a student (work at the same University now)

    And £30 for 57 books to someone I found on gumtree - not a great amount per book I grant you but they were all ones it wasn't worth putting on Amazon because the amount I could list for wouldn't cover postage or they've been on Amazon or GM for at least a year so cleared them all out and loads of space in little spare bedroom now!

    Total is currently on £350.77
