Congratulations on your lovely news Greent! - As far as lifestyle creep goes, I'd vote for a cleaner and window cleaner as necessities if you are working out of the house!   There are only so many hours in the day & downtime is sooooooo important to keep a good work/life balance

Congrats on the new role at work - sounds busy but as you say, there is always the option to quit if it gets too much

If the pension you get with your new role is anything like Local Authority or Teachers' you might have a window of time within which you could bring in add add your previous small schemes (we missed this with DH, as he worked as an instructor for an academic year before being a teacher and was unknown to him, added to the teachers' pension scheme) - so do think about it. You could put all of your salary into pension and live on your DH's to reduce your tax...

Oh yes, I have a gardener too. Only 2 hours a week and not much this year because the weather has been awful on many Tuesdays. He does lots of the jobs I don't get around to or don't like

Fantastic news on the job. I will be getting a cleaner when I can afford it, no point in making yourself unhappy in the name of saving money in my eyes.

Genuinely so pleased for you.

Thanks, kp - a cleaner will be much needed here - my family are far too used to me looking after them far too well!
