    I read that potato skinns drizzled in olive oil, seasoned and placed in a really hot oven are a tasty snack

    Well I have sent off my May overpayment

    £1157 which brings my total overpayments for the year to £2609:j

    I am just waiting for the quidco money to be paid in and some Mystery Shopping payments at the end of the month so June overpayments are looking good already:D

    Extra Money made this week

    Mystery Shop £15
    Matched Betting 26

    Total for week £41

    April's Mortgage statement has just arrived and the total owed is now below the £48k mark

    £47987.24 to be exact which is without this months payments taken into account.

    My best estimate is that the balance for end of may will be £46,558:j

    Morgage at the start of 2008 was ............................£56,829

    Which means in 17 months I have cleared £10,271

    I do need to step up the pace though but I am pleased with my progress so far

    ..................nothing much could put me in a bad mood today anyway, I went to see Morrissey in concert last night!!!!!!

    LJ well done on that progress, good to see how it is evident now in the results. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself either, that is a very good reduction.

    Well done - and how was the main man?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    He was Fantastic as usual............you could see he wasnt feeling 100% well and has cancelled tonight's gig in London. I am seriously sorry for those fans who had tickets for tonight, they must be gutted:(

    He had better be back in fine fettle on 20th when he is playing at my home town:o:D
