    September already! not a lot happening with the mortgage now we have paid the full overpayments allowed for this year, any savings now going to emergency fund.
     I plan to overpay 2026 overpayment allowance from the emergency funds in January, if finances allow.
    The changable wet weather we are currently experiencing means im getting more days off which is a good thing really as iom ready for a break.
     Ive had a good, busy spring and summer, the weather has been kind, and i have a basic winter wages pot fully funded so the pressure is off . Im turning into a squirrel, i cant settle until wages pot, fuel and animal feed is all stocked for winter!
