Happy new diary F_F
Now you can see that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train, but real sunshine!!
In all seriousness, have to say how impressive your achievements so far are - not only have you paid off most of your debt, you've continued to have a social life & have the occasional budgeted treat - have said it before, but will say it again as it is so very true:T:jYou are an inspiration:j:TI do not make mistakes, I learn lessons.I work to live, not live to work.I love to live & live to love.Good enough is exactly that.0 -

You don't think you're getting rid of me do you?! I'm on your FB now
I fully plan to wangle a visit in your general direction once I start my new job!
Honestly, I don't know what I will do when I'm debt free. I'm going to be £130 per month better off, which I would like to think will give me a more comfortable standard of living, but I know it will more likely be a cushion for when mortgage rates go up again. I wouldn't be this close to debt freedom if it weren't for my staff mortgage...:o I suspect I will become a MFW, but I won't be as concerned about little spends as I am at the moment.
One thing is for sure, I will be buying more shoes

Morning missus
Like you - wash bedding is on the list as tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day so far & DH is off so I want no work to do tomorrow
Waiting for postie to come so I can see if there are any more bills to be paid off (sad - I know)
Then off to shops as neighbouring village is having a street fayre & I don't want caught up in traffic
The rest - will see what mood takes me
Have a good one F-FDebts 07/12/2021
