Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

It is funny beanie. My sister and I are dealing with a difficult family situation. I notice that when she is stressed and upset she gets a bit thinner and when I am stressed and upset I get a bit fatter. I am just like you beanie so I try and do stuff to calm me down so I can eat a bit more mindfully...

Just applied for a new First Direct bank account.
Hopefully will get £125 from that at some point.

I opened one of these recently though it was £100 incentive then [but still very welcome].  It all went smoothly other than taking a wee bit longer to get set up than they said initially but they kept me informed by text.  

That's good to know.

Going back to the eating thing.
It I had unlimited money I could eat a healthy diet all of the time but I have to balance my money with buying offers.
It is what it is.

Did you see the programme last night about the family wanting to save money on food and also eat healthily. It was good, Eat Well Save More or something like that. They spent a fortune on takeaways so I suppose it was easy for them to cut down on spends and must be a gift for the programme makers.  I don’t eat meat so my meals are cheap although still have to buy it for Mr SA so what I save on mine I spend on his. It makes me smile when they moan about people buying the microwave rice. There’s only me eats it in our house, it’s about 35p a pack and does me two meals, no hassle, no boiling in a pan 😆

I have seen these types of programmes before.
Some of them spend more on food & takaways in a week than my weekly income!!
