Skinny Latte's Mortgage Mugging

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Do you think we were like that when we were teenagers??

Choccielover, you're a very very lucky girl!!

Today was an expensive day, with a couple of frugal highlights. I did go into town, to my favorite tall shop and spent £99.50 on new clothes. A pair of the comfiest jeggings, because jeans are just getting too uncomfomfortable! I also got a couple of lovely tops, I'll wear them alot. There was a 15% off sale too I spent a gift voucher I got for my birthday (5 months ago!) on a pair of trainers.
I cheekily parked in Waitrose and walked into town, as parking is sooo expensive. On return I thought I'd nip and get a coffee seeing as I'd used their carpark for free. How pleased was I when the young man told me if I signed up for a waitrose card, I can get free coffee :T
So not only did I get free parking, but a free latte too, thanks waitrose.

The other highlight was cutting my hair. If you have long hair check out 'hair cutting tool' on ebay. I got mine for £2.79 inluding postage, it came from china so took a few weeks to arrive. It's fab, it's like a large plastic clip with a spirit level, that you run through your hair, and stop where you want to cut it. Then just trim around the clip. it took me a couple of minutes, and all my split ends are gone, I have a lovely new hair cut. Well happy!

I have a very frugal friend, and tonight we went to a party she'd arranged for a mutal friend. It was held in the costune department at Leeds playhouse, what a fantastic night, so funnny. It cost £5.50 each, and we all took a plate of food, amazing value, and a night not to be forgotten.

I'm aware I've not made any mortgage overpayments recenlty, that's because I'm waiting for my new mortgage to start, and the off set account to be set up, I'll have a better idea of where I am then. I'm putting the extra payment money in my TSB account for now.

Half way through the weekend already,, I've not shoped yet, cycling in the morning, so hope I'm still able to walk around the shop after! Talking of cycling, my excercise wall chart is in use, with 5 squares shaded already

Some-one asked me where I got my hair done today :rotfl::rotfl: I said ebay :rotfl::rotfl:

Chocs, I think the fact that we go to the gym at all is great, don't do your self down!

Thanks Ali, I did manage both the cycle (23 miles) and the shop, just about! It seems a LONG time since my last post.

Today my mortgage completed :j:j I will update the signature when I get a statement. My off set account has been opened too, however I'm making more interest in the TSB acount at the moment, so I won't use it until I've used all the allowance there (£5K I think).

I had a very exiting tweet today, from the BBC, wanting to film me about my youtube channel for a new series of 'Right on the Money', I was a bit sceptical it was a hoax at first, but he gave me his phone number, and yes he really did work for the BBC. They asked if I was available for filming Friday, so scared :eek:

I need to set a day aside for sorting out 'stuff', but I'm away for a bit then off to Dublin Saturday for the weekend, so I don't know when that's going to happen, I think I need to take a day off work soon. I need to send off my meter readings, pay some bills, and rerun my budget, plus get some pension forcasts.

I've still not heard about the job, they were supposed to phone Monday for a 'chat' but nothing :mad:

Bed time, where did the day go?
