    Evening Beanie. Did you feel up to popping to the shops today or are you still feeling tired? Mind you, if the weather where you are was anything like ours, you probably chose to stay in anyway. xx

    Your mum's a gadabout :) Glad she's getting out and about though, that's good.

    Hope you manage the shops tomorrow.

    Take care Beanie xx

    For me and I have been mortgage free since 2014.
    I paid an extra 50 pounds every month and when I had extra made it up to 150.
    Being mortgage free is like having a massive weight lifted off your shoulders.
    Good luck

    Glad you're both back Beanie.
    Glad you weren't blown away.

    When I was waiting to sell the previous house and living down here and robbing Peter to pay Paul (and getting hassled by my dad) I had a day's holiday because I couldn't afford the petrol to get to work. The irony!

    Glad you got out, hope tomorrow goes well too.

    Do you have anyone nearby who shops regularly and could easily pick up extra bits if you text them in the week?

    Morning Beanie. Glad you Mum has arrived home safely from her travels. Poverty training sounds interesting. I'd be interested to know what sort of things it covers - only if you're able to share of course. Can you combine going to the training session with a bit of shopping? Have a lovely day. xx
