I'm fine thanks all, just don't really feel that I have a lot to say at the moment.
I don't have the time or energy to keep up with all the diaries that I once read and it feels like the only way to keep the discussions flowing is by being a 'diary butterfly'. Somewhat difficult with a toddler, a job and home renovations

Glad you are doing ok. I know the feeling of being unable to keep up with everyone. Do keep posting on your thread though = your financial mumblings have been of interest 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 -
I'm in exactly the same position at the moment. Hope the renovations are going well Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I'm panicking! Tell me the first book I should read about investing, please!
Missed this, sorry.
Don't bother investing beyond any employer matched pension until you have paid off your unsecured debts, that would be my top tip

A fair and reasonable point but I need to read and inwardly digest the information before doing anything with it!

Edinburgher I have just discovered your thread, read a few posts and I already love it! Looking forward to some happy hours ahead reading from the beginning - your line at the beginning made me laugh - 'Drooling in a money nerd stupor'! Funny:)0
