misstara's mortgage free diary

misstara

She definitely did Boodedoo

Slept until about 1pm after NS and then we popped to get a bigger food shop - £41.09 spent.  Also spent £9 on a new rucksack for OH.

Lazy rest of day - made some soup for this week's lunches and did a few surveys so now 95p away from making my next £50 overpayment to the mortgage

misstara

Did some very boring surveys this evening to get that 95p and a little more so £50 overpayment made to the mortgage plus £2.08 in the mortgage overpayment account towards the next one

Nothing much else to report from today - it's been a NSD.  Really struggled with tiredness at work today and on a double shift tomorrow so off to bed.

misstara

NSD yesterday.  Few spends today - met a friend for a coffee after work, popped into @sda afterwards and got a couple of bras on sale, a baking tin and some ground coffee.  Total spend £17.18.

Some money from PA was available to cash out so £5.85 added to the mortgage overpayment account.

NSD on Thursday and Friday

£8.15 added to the mortgage overpayment account from surveys.

Off work this weekend, not sure of plans yet.  Definitely need to do the boring stuff like cleaning and getting a food shop but thinking we might go out of the city somewhere different for a walk.

misstara

Went out of the city yesterday to a place about 30 minutes away for a lovely walk.  Stopped in at a cafe for lunch - £17.65 spent.

£17.13 spent on food shopping today.  Went for a run this morning after food shopping then helped OH clean the house.  Made soup for lunches for the week plus a yummy apple crumble using apples that my dad brought up.

misstara

NSDs Sunday and Monday.  £2.55 spent today on milk and a baguette for lunch.  Late shift today so had a productive morning clearing an area at the allotment before coming to work.  Hoping the weather will be good on Friday (day off) to get some more done.

Booked MOT for next month and also got car insurance renewal quote through - only £8ish more expensive than last year which seems alright.  I'll still take a look and see if I can get it cheaper though.

46p moved to mortgage overpayment account

31p moved to the mortgage overpayment account this morning

Got a notification from B00ts to say that their Christmas presents were 4 for 2 for today only so think I'll pop down after work to see if there's anything I would want to buy.

misstara

Went down to B00ts and spent £29.50 yesterday - got 2 presents for OH, 1 for my sister and 1 for a friend.

Today has been a day off so very lazy start to the day (didn't wake up until 9.30am which is very unusual), gym and a quick trip to h0me bargains to get some more coffee for work, also got some stocking fillers for OH and toiletries so £16.43 spent.

It has rained solidly all day so haven't done much else other than chill on the sofa.  Quite a few surveys done and cashed out £8.17 from PA.  Mortgage overpayment account now sitting at £25.02 so half way to go to my next £50 payment.

Got my payslip as well so will need to make a budget for next month at some point over the next week.

misstara

On a late shift today.  Weather hasn't been great again so my plan of going to the allotment this morning turned into sitting on the sofa reading.

Today will be a NSD   I need to get petrol but there should be enough to last until tomorrow so will do that after work then.

misstara

Busy day at work as short-staffed but made it through.  Popped to @sda after work so £52.31 spent on petrol and £32.23 spent on food.  Should take us through to the end of the month.
