Oh my word, it's been nearly 3 months since my last post (hang head in shame).
Well, I have been a little preoccupied. Life is rosy, life is fab, yes I've been preoccupied with life. Becoming debt free has had a major impact on my emotional and psychological state. It's like I finally grew up, and in doing so good things started to be attracted into my life.
DS & DD are blossoming in to lovely young adults, capable and both earning. DD is even saving :eek: for a car, and to go to Thailand for the winter. She's started an NVQ level 3, and has not been late once or missed 1 day of work since she started this job in February.
My most special news is that I now have a man in my life (thank you tinder!) He ticks every box I had and more I didn't even know I had, this ones for keeps.
So, what hasn't been going so well? Well I just have not had the chance to sit down and keep my spreadsheets up to date. Although I'm still living within my means, I am not making any over payments into the mortgage. I pledge, in the next 4 weeks, to take a day out to sort all this stuff out and get back on track.
This week I'm off work, on Tuesday I finished a coast to coast cycle ride, it was an awesome experience, although I'm a little fatigued now! Today I plan to wallpaper DD's bedroom, so I'd better get on with it.
