Righto, so as Ed says later (ooh I can time travel!) One can't rebrand oneself on MSE. However...
I do feel - and partly because of the experiences of another MFW who was getting somewhat robust criticism for not being hard core enough - that, well, I'm not nearly hardcore enough.
So here I am. 43. Mortgage due to expire when I'm 55.
I am going to try for getting rid of it by 50. Including a move to a smallholding as that's what I am aiming for (no s h i t!).
I am planning a LOT of storecupboard challenges and a LOT of fiscal fasts.
Here goes!
