Good for you for asking for what you feel is needed on the medication front Beanie - never easy to gear yourself up for those sorts of conversations is it!
Good luck for the 4 year challenge too - I have to say that having a MFW challenge to play with all over again is definitely leaving me feeling quite a bit more motivated so I hope your challenge is having the same effect!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
