Hi brizzle! I see you have your debt free badge of honour now too - way cool!
It must be so good to have the freedom to make decisions that don't solely revolve around the money aspect. Surely that must feel like the very definition of 'free'. No more debt slavery. You sound so light - I can tell that you feel so much better for being done with it.....and it's wonderful!

Thanks Tilly.
Having a lie in this morning and just finished reading the paper from start to finish..bliss
DD2 is perpetually on Minecraft..need to work out how I can shove her off so that I can start listing..hmmm...
Nothing to TT as it's the weekend. Just re- read a previous post of mine on here (March 20th think it was so only a month or so ago) that by end of 2014 I was planning to get £6k into the MOP...but now I have a goal of £12k...had completely forgotten that £6k goal. Oh well go me...that DFD of 31 March looked impossible and then look what happened!
Planning yummy meal this eve. Org leg of lamb defrosting from freezer and I will make rice pudding and berry brulee for afters..:)

Thanks friends in the box!:)
Love the badge..it's like those star charts all over again. Doncha just love an icon for being good :rotfl: always was a sucker for a sticker!:)
So today has been frantic. So dinner has been changed and it's pea risotto tonight with sausages from the freezer as absolutely too pooped to cook a roast.
Spent 5 hours down the allotment. OH fairly willing but a bit fed up! But we have a real haul of rhubarb, chard, dandelion leaves for salad, mint, Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes as somehow we missed some last year!
We have also planted loads as someone else has moved and we were told to take what we liked! Thank you universe as I am so behind with the sowing this year. Loving feeling so optimistic again that we can get some produce from it again this year. Our local robin was in evidence and the fruit trees looking beautiful and full of blossom
On my return made some laundry gloop. Know DFW321 swears by it. Have made some it before but wasn't entirely convinced. We have run out of powder and so rather than buy some decided to make about 7l for less than £1.
Pegged out washing, risky given weather but hey need to take some risks in life
and planted some flowers in the back garden which had been lurking at the allotment which will look better at home.
Next off going to put some bread on..MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
