Only freedom will do

Did you use a recipe for the shepherdless pie?

Some kind soul posted in on the forum, but I forget who! Search for it, there can't be that many mentions. I made a few small tweaks, because I'm an instinct-driven cook

Didn't sleep a wink last night, so today was hellish.

Hi Ed

I‘m a newbie lurker and love your thread. I too am working on making enough passive income to have more choices in my future. (I currently have 3 BTL‘s, 1 of which is already MF, and am hoping to become mortgage neutral wtih shares etc)

Have you been on the Mr Money Mustache website? some of his ideas are a little extreme, ie its Ok to wear a shirt something like 10 times before washing it, eek! But the basic ideas make complete sense.

Good luck with your journey, look forward to reading more.

Yes, I have seen that website thanks Lyndsey. I like his tenacity, but he does seem to be falling victim to delusions of grandeur in his old age Wearing a shirt 10 times before washing it? There must be something wrong with his pores!

I have a lavender spray that I put on a handkerchief inside my pillow case if I'm struggling to sleep. Freshly laundered sheets help too. Cool but warm at the same time.

Zzzzzzzzz

Hops, hops, hops? {rummages in cupboard}

Freshly laundered sheets help too.

Freshly laundered sheets are go, we've rotated the mattress and I'm off to open the bedroom windows to make it cooler. Currently relaxing with a decaf coffee, had c. 50% of my usual caffeine intake today as well.

Made it through work (just), was feeling very tired and need to get up at 0600 tomorrow.

KitchenAid sold for £220, sold another DVD as well. Hoping to work from home on Friday to catch up with some mandatory training courses (and hopefully a courier for the KitchenAid).

Have identified a couple of watches that can probably be flogged - they're nice - but do I need 3? :rotfl:

*Edit: and a couple of computer games that are accidentally collectable. Apparently I have very niche tastes
