I am now feeling a lot better but I find I have even less energy than usual.
Nothing happening on the mortgage front.
So I am feeling rather a fraud being being on the MFW board.

As Upsidedown Bear said - you are a mortgage wannabe - that's genuine enough to me, you are not a fraud at all.
I'm so pleased you are feeling better - there's only so many things you can battle at a time - and battling to feel better is the most important - overpayments are not a priority but you feeling your best is
I agree - how has it got to be March already.............January spends - £587.581 -
Not a fraud at all Beanie!! Before reading your thread I felt I wasn't a real MFW as I don't have huge amounts to throw at it. You inspired me to get going and value every smidge I pay off! We will get to our goals by plodding determinedly and encouraging each other. A pound is an achievement for me and my parents and sisters have heartily laughed at my efforts. More fool them though!! I will get there and everything I pay off means a more comfortable retirement!
Love you! XxWith family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

Beanie, mine's tiny amounts too, and for months at a time nothing at all - but the focus is there, and I'd be in a lot more trouble if I wasn't on here!2023: the year I get to buy a car2

Beannie - I hope your energy levels are coming back to normal -This bug that's going around this year seems to be flooring everyone for months!1

Thanks all.
My energy levels are dire TBH.
A good friend died last week so her funeral is on Thursday.
I just cant believe I will not see her lovely shiny face again.
