Not sure if I mentioned that I have recently gone on the committee for a local day centre. Had a meeting today & I now have some wee tasks to do. Really pleased about this.

That sounds like a great idea, hope you enjoy it."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1

Congratulations @beanielou. The new committee is lucky to have you! Love Humdinger xx3

I absolutely do feel the cold - which is why the weather is so odd at this time of year!
Beanielou you have a lot to give, that new committee is lucky to have you and I'm hoping you will get a lot out of it too
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
Thanks. I think I need to be focused on something else other than me & my woes. I think this will help. I am very aware I spend too much time in the house & spending time with my poorly friend.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
