Message for future self: Buy lots of Christmas Pudding as you are going to fancy some come February!! 🤣3

I still have a large Christmas Pudding from last year that I had planned on eating this year (my theory is that there is so much alcohol in them they last forever!). After plans changed and it was only me eating it as the kids don't like them, I only got through a mini one.Me, DD1 20, DS 18, DD2 15, Debt Free 04/18, Single Mum since 11/19

We still have chocolate and treats from Christmas, it's weird that you can have something in the house for ages but as soon as you can't have it anymore it's the only thing you want.2

I’ll be mortgage neutral in 100 days! I appreciate redemption day is 12 days afterwards but I thought it was still a mention worthy milestone! I’m at 8 NSDs so far in February.
I’m still wrestling with myself about when I’ll do the big shop. I don’t think it needs to happen this week. Definitely this month though.
