I know I am debt free, but my mortgage shortfall on the main mortgage and the small mortgage for the garage still feel like debts. I hope I am still OK to post, I don't feel 'at home' on the MFW board, if that makes sense.

Watch at least one of the World Cup matches[/STRIKE]
My house is in SUCH A MESS at the moment but I'm trying to resist flipping out and just remembering that it's going to look amazing when it's all done.
I got everything else done and scored a free lunch for tomorrow in to the bargain, so I'm pretty chuffed with that. Even better, I went to the shop with Mr Mooo and he bought me a pack of reduced bagels - I get yummy breakfasts and saved myself 9p because he paid :rotfl:Just feeling a bit down at min as it seems such a long time siince my heart attack in Feb and I thought I'd be further along the path than I am
Given that it's still (just) June I think you're probably doing absolutely fine and just putting too much pressure on yourself. This whole thread is about the little things, and recovering from a heart attack is a very Big Thing. Baby steps

I'm a bit late to the party, but Monday I got the second part of a root canal/crown done (eeek), wrote a 2000 word uni assignment, finished some little household chores that I didn't have time for over the weekend, and booked a week's training course for my career change (which my new company is funding). The stress from my previous career caused the broken tooth, so it feels good to get both things 'fixed' on the same day!Savings: £60,029.70 (+ I don't know how much BTC/ETH)
