Welcome back! You once talked me - very firmly I might add - into menu planning. That went out of the window for a while but I'm back here on the boards with a very different life and trying to clear the cupboards of cash by eating out of them
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!7 -
That's great Watty. Lovely to see you. I love the fact that our fridge, freezer, larder are little ATMs ❤️Watty1 said:Welcome back! You once talked me - very firmly I might add - into menu planning.

I am good thanks, plodding along with the mortgage and hopefully hitting my neutral target in about 6 months. Some of the money might be redeirected to decorating but that is ok as it is all part of the end goal.
