I would like to thank each and every one who posted on my diary for all their support and encouragement (so many to mention) when things got tough, I could not have done all this without you all. (So even with a fear of leaving anyone out - Bexster (who was there all the way from the very 1st post:T:T and believe it or not is still here, posting :T:T), SJ :T, LIL:TATB:TAliOK:T and everyone :T:Talso a big thanks to my mum who helped me with my side line, which helped greatly in reaching my "goal" even earlier than I could ever imagine possible.

An abundance of help. tips and support from all which really helped me on my journey, and the meeting of new friends :A
And although it was a small mortgage, it related to my income, which isn't muchBelated congratulations on being mortgage free AFK! So inspiring, and what a fantastic Christmas present to yourself!

Thank you julicorn,
Didn't really dare make plans just in case I never reached my target, but had a lot of "thoughts" which
could be translated as "Dreams"
Just going to take time, list everything "needed", and everything "wanted"
then re-shuffle into some kind of order :eek: and work my way through the list.
Have also been thinking about reducing my days at work :j and a few other ideas in mind, so,
looking forward to the NY and lets see what 2019 brings.
Wishing you both all the best for a Healthy & Happy 2019.Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -

So today I have learned;
You do not need to spend hours and hours re-doing the grouting :TYou go to B&M buy Mould & Mildew blaster, spray, leave for a few hours, rinse and wipe.
All done, fantastic results and best bit is it cost 75p for a big bottle
"@stonish" best bargain of the year !!!
I have also cleaned out my washing machine with another product, all ready for the NY.
My kitchen was needing a bit of a clear away/out, didn't realise until someone said to me - "once you get your kitchen finished" :eek: What the :mad: - I thought it was finishedMade me look at it with New eyes :rotfl: Guess that may be No.1 on the "to do" list :think:
