    Nothing else to report other than I made a mistake yesterday.
    Sent an extra payment to the mortgage instead of the loan.
    What an idiot :mad:

    Ouch. Don't be mad. It is done now. You made a mistake and overpaid the mortgage. You didn't spend it on pink gin. Hope you can find a way to relax this evening :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025

    I don’t think people realise that any NHS support stops when they think they have done enough medically for you... for me it was age 14!

    I remember colleagues from Scope who had to be fed because physio stopped at 18 and their hands were in spasm so they could not hold anything but as a child they could, .. because they still had physio.

    That's bad but doesn't surprise me as the NHS is underfunded and struggling :(

    I agree, sadly, from my experience of having arthritis and chronic fatigue :(

    Yep, don't insult yourself, beanie - I understand now its made paying the physio difficult, but I'm betting that you'll juggle things to find a way. I'm really sorry you have to do that, though :(

    Beanie the NHS annoys me sometimes especially for you , your physio should be free . I hope the body warmer was suitable if it has arrived yet.
