One of the books sold. After postage will only make about £2 but am sticking with the idea on read on here that that is £2 on which we will never pay interest again
Off to do some work and ride Most Handsome before lunch.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 -

Lovely time with Most Handsome. Took him out on my own :j Go me!
Friend is recovering from op, normally would send flowers, but found card in the office and sent that with a lovely equine cartoon book that was gifted to me but that I already had a copy of so gifted onwards. Working on the first mortgage I was economical but working on this one, now I have given myself a deadline I am seeing other ways to economise. Instead of around £20 ish I've just spent postage (tax deductible as has gone out with work mail). Am loving this opportunity to look again at things.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Well done you on both fronts.
I really enjoy finding those money wins/workarounds (though I don't find them that often, sadly).0 -
Spent £40 on a Bowen session to help stiffness incurred at weekend. Loved the stunt riding place a lot but had a very stiff neck, which may have been as a result of there or perhaps from spending too long working. Whatever it has now been dealt with.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

m loving this opportunity to look again at things.
This, I think, is so key to the journey we are on isn't it Watty. No matter how many times you think you have got your mindset completely sorted, and are being as mindful with spending as it is possible to be, you can take yourself my surprise in a pleasing way.
Dressing gown and wellies made me :rotfl:
Have a lovely day xMFW
