That's great news about the genetic results. It must be quite difficult to make that decision to be tested. Glad they will still keep a close eye on you.June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0

I haven't really got going today - sooooooooooo tired *yawn*
Not much happening here... highlight of the day was receiving the first sender pack for our third stint on the RMS. I find it really tedious but didn't want to say no in case they stopped inviting me to do the £5 a go unaddressed mail surveys!
Off to wash my my face before bed and use my new it-is-a-miracle-my-neck-is-less-scraggy-after-a-single-use-! cream and sonic massaging treatment applicator

That's good news about the genetic results - must be quite a relief.
I never had much luck with the RMS survey.
I had to apply about 3 times, and they eventually gave me a start.
I did three weeks of training, then they said they were pausing my participation as they were oversubscribed, and I've never heard from them since.
At the time, I was always going to the post office, but I send my eBay parcels by My Hermes now, so, even if they did offer to start me again, I'd probably decline.
But it is lucrative, so I can understand why you've grabbed the opportunity with both handsEarly retired - 18th December 2014

I don't think sainsbugs know who I am either!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 !!0 -
I've just had some £6 off £40 vouchers. Those amount work well for us. Just have to nip across the road to @ldi for wine and we are sorted!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0

£6 off £40 would have suited me better - I'm running out of things to buy!

I had to phone NW today and tell them our plan for paying off the IO mortgage by April 2028... I soooo wanted to tell him that we could afford to pay it off anytime we wanted to
