    I hope you're all well and have got through the terrible weather of this past few weeks unscathed.


    Let's hope Spring has sprung at last. Well, it will have on Sunday after we put the clocks forward. The longer days always tend to lift the spirits. Let's hope we'll all find some extra motivation to get some money saved:beer:

    Morning Helen!

    Holiday was fab thanks but is now a distant memory! It!!!8217;s pay day today so added more to the pot which is now £5750, making up for some of that holiday dip.

    There!!!8217;ll be some more to be borrowed back over the next few months but I like to keep it away from the current account :)

    Update on my savings at present: £10750. So covers my 6 months if I need it. Put possibly buying a house on hold for a few months.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
