Handsome baby is £41.87 a month so I would say good deal! Who are you with (if you don't mind saying).
Mind you unlikely to get a good deal now handsome baby off work with "issues"
FoggyFellPony uninsured. Given his age I decided to allocate part of our emergency fund to cover his vet bills as insurance was expensive and didn't cover much. Am thinking I might have to do the same with Handsome Baby and reduce cover dramatically if /when he comes right and put an amount by each month, so effectively 'self insure'.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 -

Your link had expired when I clicked so can't see the wine but we pay £2.99 for a nice white in @ldi. It's called Baron St Jean. Someone bought us expensive wine once but it was too woody for me! Much prefer the cheap stuff.
You were up early Al, not sleeping well?June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0
