If I don't restrict the talk to once a month, he'll throw the head up. Busy day at work. Brought lunch and fruit so no spends there. Had to go to shops to pick up a birthday card and present for my brother. This was however a budgeted expense. Rummaged thru my drawer in work and got an unexpected £1 coin. That's this week's mortgage overpayment so far. Am out on site visits for Tuesday and Wednesday which will include an overnight stay. Will bring a lunch and snacks for tomorrow and can claim back dinner and lunch costs for Wednesday. We'll be in a fairly remote area so there'll be little chance for spends. Hopefully the wifi will be good in the hotel.Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 12st determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.

Hi INOD
I love reading your things to be grateful for. There's so much joy to be found in little things and they're often overlooked.
Sounds like things are all going in the right direction - especially with your monthly chats with OH.
