    Back to the important matter in hand - I have just transferred £750 into my mortgage account, which means I have now OP'd £2750/£3000 target this year. Looking like the secret target may be a reality!

    Planning a massive OP for May. Going to cash in my Premium Bonds = £2100, Mum has given me £500, plus I think I can do £500 too, and there's a tenners worth of 50ps in le cochon ....... grand total £3110!!! That should put me below £4k. By posting it I've committed myself! xx
