I used to give myself permission to take one day or another of the weekend as a day off - more often than not the positive messages being informed the rest of the time meant I didn't go mad anyway, but I found that having one day a week where I could relax a bit made all the difference to my motivation.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Paid £88.66 off the cc and another £10 off the overdraft. Told the estate agents that our last offer is indeed our final offer and there isn't five grand down the back of the sofa cos I've checked!!!!
Work was ok. I'm all by myself, apart from radio 2, for a whole week. What can go wrong? Been invited to some impromptu fireworks tonight so off out later.
Got a humongous bruise on my leg. Helping friend to move and smacked my shin off the tow bar, did bring tears to my eyes and a blue cloud round my head, didn't know I knew so many swear words!!!!
Not heard a word from DD1 so presume shes having a fab time and she'll be back on Sunday.
