    Hello Tilly,

    You've paid off your mortgage more in one year than I'll struggle to in three! Fantastic. Well done.

    I hope your relative is doing ok. I also hope you're ok too as I know it can be really stressful when you're worried about someone close. Sending lots of good health thoughts and vibrations across to you all.

    Take care,

    MT x

    Hi MuffinTops, I am really proud of our achievements this year. Glad we have stopped our wasteful ways and appreciate the difference we are making.

    I am looking forward to seeing the drop in 2013 - 2nd anniversary of my diary on 5th November 2013 should see the mortgage down to £175k ish. Time will tell, but I love the difference in the way we all feel on this journey. I never worry about checking the bank accounts or credit card bills now - that's fantastic.

    Anyway, I think it is time for a cup of tea, so off to put the kettle on :beer:

  • Evening, I am SO grateful to have a freezer well stocked with home made meals. It is making life much easier, although my menu plan has gone out of the window. However, right control over the food shopping with today's being just over £34.

    46 sleeps :):):)

    Have you had the raspberry lasagne yet :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
