Happy Birthday! :bdaycake:
I've been so behind/lurkerish on MSE of late but had to pop up and send you some birthday love! Hope you have a wonderful day! _party_
PS. Always so impressed at how focused you are on finding a way to achieve your goals - loved the spare change finding escapade from the other daya penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0 -

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, very kind of you all. Hi pearla, hope you are well
Gm4l that cruise does look a bargain , but I couldn't go for 16 days due to dh's work and the thought of leaving the kids :eek: will you be doing that one?
I have just changed to the 3 night cruise after allwe have just found out today that ds2 has a very early English exam during the 5 night cruise, although he would be OK at mums I would not enjoy being away while he has an exam, so three nights it is! On the plus side there will be a refund due of £680 now.
I went for the cheaper inside cabin as it saved another £100 and it has a brand new screen in your cabin which shows an image of the outside view on it, pretty cool
Had a nice goats cheese salad bought by mum today , and a good mooch and didn't buy anything.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
Or just use to pay for your shopping at the self service tills
, pay yourself back with 'proper money'
.
I do thisI stand at the self service till with about £40-50 in shrapnel from my 'mortgage pig' (now called Flo(rida)) and feed it all in
Takes a while, but I don't care.
I then OP (or now transfer to Florida fund) the rounded up amount
