Another one struggling with the cold and sore stiff muscles and joints…despite owning and using more heated textiles than one person should really have. Horrible headache and I know it’s just that my upper back muscles are all seized up.

Echo everyone exciting thoughts with kitchen
I am struggling with the cold and I am in a warmer place than you. So many layers and retreating to bed and duvet when I can….Praying no falls ……As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
Fake it, to you Make It

This is great news! The universe definitely supporting you.beanielou said:Lovely person who is going to move in at the weekend. This money will be used solely towards paying down the smaller loan.
Keep warm and comfortableDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I seem to be up & down all night & have found that if I get colder then I don't get back to sleep. So mine stays on all the time. If I get over cold or over tired nothing gets done & we eat rubbish too. It almost breaks even financially. It makes working those extra years worth it.
