We've been able to save most of it since being MF but we've always been cash poor in terms of money not ring fenced for something.
Now we have a fab house and cash in the bank - just need to decide what to do with it in terms of interest.

Morning, grey day here but no heating on and the house is too hot. I'm opening windows 😳
Mr T is building a wardrobe insert for built in wardrobe- gives me more hanging space and a few cubes for handbags - Gally, I will be emptying my bag once I've found the box I empty the contents into :rotfl:
I'm off to do a food shop early afternoon. Where we lived before every major supermarket/store was no more than 10 minutes away - slightly different here but once I'm sorted and planning it will be fine. I'll be shopping in different places depending upon my jaunts out.
Very happy days - I've got a cleaner starting next week @ £8.50/hour. What a difference. She's doing 3 hours a week

OMG this house is so well insulated - I'M BOILING
Gally - you'll love it - you can imagine me. Underfloor heating - builder wonders why the windows are wide open - "because I'm sweltering" is my response.
