Quick update

Diary

On route to London again this afternoon to a meeting at 9am tomorrow. these meetings help me boot train and accommodation through Quidco, my tracked total at the moment is £217.92. This total is all from booking hotels and train tickets. It soon adds up, but is not enough for what I need to get this mortgage paid off.

I have also obtained by mortgage over payment totals as you can only over pay 10% of the balance in particular year. I have two sub accounts due to additional borrowing to raise the deposit for our new house which will be ready at the end of next month. Sub account 01 £12,415.31 and Sub account 02 £1140. the interest on sub account 02 is slightly higher than 01 so I will begin to pay 02 first.

Matched betting

I forgot to add a free bet that Befair credited me with which I made £8.64 from which was not bad. the football season has finished now, so there may not be many free bets around until the start of the season. 

Tuck shop

Bought additional crisps and Chocolate which totalled £15.50 from Sainsurys and B&M.

Small totals and new format

Diary

As I get older it still amazes me as to how stupid some people are, I guess life would be extremely boring if we were all the same. An example from this week : -

I was on a flight back from Southampton to Manchester on Thursday, there were two woman, no older than 25 with a large bag that was quite clearly too big for the overhead compartment. One of the woman still tried to shove it into the overhead compartment. It obviously didn't fit and it was quite clear that it didn't yet the woman still persisted to try and shove it in. The funny thing is the handle fell over her head and as she pushed her bag it jerked her head forward, I am surprised she didn't get whiplash ha ha.

Another thing I have noticed also is that no matter how much of a rush you are in someone or something will always slow you down. people in your way, this is especially when you are on the tube in London. People just get in the way walking along the tunnels between platforms.

All the travelling for work is becoming a way of earning additional money for this blog so these things are the things that I just have to deal with. It would be good to hear other peoples travelling stories or other ways to earn additional income while travelling.

If anyone has any other ideas on how to make additional income I would love to hear from you? drop me a message.

Cashback

Cash back site paid £15.01 which was mainly from booking hotels, flights and train tickets. I still have an additional £120.29 which has tracked.

Savings Account

My bank account paid its cash back and interest which was £26.12, this will probably be one of the last times the interest will be this much because our new house will be ready to move into next month and therefore the money saved in that account will have to be used to pay the huge stamp duty amount, plus the solicitors bills.

Tuck shop

the stocks were still pretty high this week so I have not totalled this up this week. There will be no total added for this week. It would be good to hear peoples views on what else to sell apart from chocolate and crisps, which I sell for 30p each and generally only make 5p - 10p on each item. Is that too low or should I charge more?

Money saved

I cant justify saving any money this month due to the house move as there are still a large number of things to pay for.

Now that I have made the £1000 limit I can start to overpay my mortgage, I need to find the details on how to do this.
