    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 !!

    Lent 40 bags/40 days involved removing unsightly plants that were not thriving.
    Part of garden has always needed plants and just fills with weeds so decided to try to fill in the unplanted area. Sought advice at local nursery. Spent nearly £200 :eek:

    Back on target. The end of lent is in sight :) Today cleared out a shed/tack room. Another 2 bags of stuff removed and another heap added to the ebay pile. The office that was once tidy is beginning to look like a car boot sale :) Would ebay this evening but out of free listings and next month is so close I'm not spending 35p an item to list so will put up with the clutter till April. It is at least on its way out I feel.

    Needed photos for work and last week phoned round some photographers. Studio sessions seemed very expensive (over £150) but one lovely lady said to pop in today and she would do for £20 but £5 per pick - was a bit surprised she was so cheap - but - wahoo - bargin! Just down the road (am loving finding businesses that are local) and totally got I just needed one or two head and shoulders that made me look professional rather than a full on studio session. Delighted.

    That sounds really good! Supporting local businesses *and* getting what you want at a really good price :)
