Dreaming of a new life in Norfolk.

Hi Pearla Merle. Thanks for asking
Its quite nice to have that cushion of spare cash and I have gone completely off the wagon and have not been careful with money for the last few months. I have a new partner (early days only a few months in) but this has happened because now I am MF I have joined a few Meetup groups to start getting out and meeting new people. So I've been having a bit of a social life for once and that doesnt come cheap!! Had a couple of UK breaks and days out and not worrying about the spending.
I really need to get back onto it tho (although new partner is a plumber so cheap rates on parts and labour) I have a bit of money put aside and a list as long as my arm of things I would like to do. Including in that though is a holiday abroad which doesnt come cheap as we havent done that for 6 years since the free tesco points ones we used to have, them were the days
I dont think any work is going to be started until after xmas so hoping my boiler makes it through winter!
Does anyone do wombling here, I have joined the FB page but I dont think I have the nerve to go round looking for receipts lolMFW 16 No 33

Did you choose the new chap with one eye on your boiler? Seriously though, it is lovely to hear that you are out and about and having fun. Brilliant. XPaid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
Lovely to hear you're enjoying yourself, and especially to hear that love is in the air :smileyhea How wonderful :Ta penny picker upper.

My eyebrows raised when he told me his profession hahaha!
Being MF has changed my life already. I used to be a hermit and now my kids say are you going out again mum. Feel a bit guilty to be honest but I need to live as well. They wont thank me for staying home when in a couple of years they are all out and about having fun!!MFW 16 No 33

GG remembers she is friends with ND on fb.
GG goes stalking.
GG thinks she has a possible hit.
GG comes back to say she, and therefore all of MSE, approve
Seriously ND, well done in getting out there - you're far too young and attractive to stay on your own :T. And well done on treating yourself as well - you've worked so hard for it :jA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

It's been so long since I visited , so sorry it's late but congratulations on being mf :T:T:T:T:T:T
A massive achievement, even more so doing it on your own! You have been so focused and determined over the years and I am so glad to see it has all paid off for you, also it's great to hear you have met a lovely man - After all this hard work you deserve a bit of fun
All the best, newgirly.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
I'm not sure if you would see who it is GG,
he's a very private man. But we went to St Neots one day and he 'allowed' me to tag him lol. We just had a long weekend near the Yorkshire moors so may put some pics up of lots of fields later
