MFW: Next step towards total freedom!

Ami-Rose

AHH, I'm just checking in and it's so exciting to hear you'll be done early! Amazing news. That's just over 7 weeks away! Crazy when you think of it that way.

How's your post-mortgage bucket list coming along?

@caeler I wanted to buy an egg chair from the aldi garden shop this morning but I was too late, they'd already sold out when I looked an hour after they opened  Left it too late clearly.  Well done on getting your greenhouse!

I’m going to pay off my mortgage next month! What a fantastic milestone to be able to say now! 

50 days to go!   Brought to you by Paul Simon and '50 ways' https://youtu.be/ABXtWqmArUU I particularly like the chorus lyrics in reference to being mortgage free: “Get yourself free”! 

Thanks @ami-rose 7 weeks, eek! 

I was up at 0730 Sunday morning to purchase @eat_that_frog I missed out on something last year. Hopefully it will come back into stock or maybe you could go check in store?

Wow @caeler I've just caught up on your diary - how exciting it must be to be 50 days off neutral!  Bravo :-)

A month to go, how time flies!

Thanks for stopping by!  @grogged @Lauraebrad

Nothing new added to the post mortgage bucket list @ami-rose in fact I've ticked something off it by buying the growhouse and potting bench! I figured they’d sell out quickly so I couldn’t wait! 

44 days to go which is just over 6 weeks away! It’s feels surreal that there is just one more normal monthly mortgage payment to go out. Daily interest is now £2.48. 

5 NSDs so far this month. I’m sticking to the tight budget I’ve been working to since the beginning of the year. This is helping me already start to build back up the emergency fund which gives me a bit of a buffer between monthly bills and the “unexpected”. 

I’ve been out in the garden this weekend. Major prune of my pyracantha that I let take over a bit. It’s now cut back down to size and there is room for lots more plants! My new potting bench is assembled, really impressed with the quality. Still waiting for the growhouse to arrive. 

The egg chair says it will be back in stock soon @eat_that_frog I hope you can get one!

Just read the whole of your diary Caeler, I can only say that when I get to that close I'm going to be shouting it from the rooftops and boring all and sundry to tears with it.

Three more days and you can play any song from Sum 41! Or is it? I can't count.

Have you received the grow house yet? Would love to know what you think of it.

It arrived this morning! I suspect I won't have chance to build it until the weekend although I also ordered a potting bench which arrived last week so I've built that and I'm very impressed with the quality and sturdiness so I am optimistic about the growhouse.

Ahh! It's here! I find the aldi/lidl stuff are usually really good quality.
