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 day

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 all
we 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 this
I 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
