Re: The joy of FU money
Having enough money behind you really is liberating in the workplace.
You can work on your terms, and if you are also confident that you're good at your job, you get to call the shots (to a certain extent).
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt 🤑
My final straw (well one of them) was not being able to book time off when I wanted.
I'll just take 365 days unpaid leave then 🤣. Adiós.
Good on you Bluenose 🏆🎉

In this magical film of Disney's Tinker Bell franchise, Zarina, a dust-keeper fairy, is lured by the magic powers of Blue Pixie Dust and steals it, joining the Skull Rock pirates and becoming their captain
Like Wow have a copy of this lovely DVD to give away to one lucky winner.
Without the dust, Tinker Bell and her friends lose their ability to fly, and they must embark on a race against time to bring it back to Pixie Hollow.

Re: Success Stories - Pensions
@Queen_of_the_Hive
My pension pots inc LISA is worth 124k which compared to most is very small but I am working on making increases where I can.
£124K at age 43 is not very small, and for the private sector at least is well above average. Of course you do see some bigger numbers on this forum, but that is not typical of your average person.
On the other hand of course the bigger the better, and with your continuing contributions and 100% equity investments ( or similar) it should grow nicely over the next 15/20 years.

Re: NST October 2023 A New Start
Have the cold.
Done nothing all day except read & sleep.
Re: NST October 2023 A New Start
Made some onion bhajis and some jalapeno hummus today from bits in the cupboard. I packed my lunch for work tomorrow. All budgets done and ready to roll when I get some money 

Had to pop out and get a few bits but I bought healthy things and only what I needed, no snacks! Now i'm feeling snackish of course.
Re: Is your heating ON or OFF?
Heating OFF, but the tower fans were still in use earlier this month. Here on the South coast we can get summer nights when the temperature doesn't drop below 20C. We like a cool bedroom, so don't have electric blankets, duvets or hot water bottles. We used to have log fires spring and autumn but now that husband has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, can't have those anymore because of particulates.
Re: Is your heating ON or OFF?
Not really. Some of us just don't want a lot of heat.marycanary said:Ah, the annual, "I'm too hard to put the heating on thread".
Mine isn't on, and depending on the weather it could easily be another month before I even think about it. Day temps are high teens here, low double digits overnight. My thermometer says its 21' currently in the lounge
