Right, it's June and I've only just sorted out my new ISA...the shame.
27 weeks pregnant today! Exciting. Pregnancy has been filled with hospital appointments so far - I'm just a big attention seeker. But hopefully, it'll all come to nothing. Latest is heart palpitations that I'm being monitored for. Boo. Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.84 December 25
