    Hope all is ok lovely xx

    Hi both. Great to hear from you.
    I have been unwell but now back to being super busy. Lots to do.
    I need to catch up with work so I'm working this weekend.
    I've set myself some personal targets regarding work. I work better from lists so I'm armed with lists and objectives.

    Goodness. I have been awol for quite a while now haven’t I!
    How is everybody?
    A lot has happened. I’ve changed jobs and still work for myself too. Finances are looking good and it’s still operation pay the mortgage off.
    I have no other debts apart from my mortgage. I seriously need some extra side hustles in order to achieve my objective quicker.
    When I changed jobs my wages went down but I’m now in a better place-not sure how but i am.
    I’ve got a starling account and lots of pots within it.
    Amazingly I’ve almost completed my book work for my tax return. :) happy days x

    Paid another £19.64 off the mortgage today. :)
    Day off so I’ve been up and at it since before 8-I always wake up early these days, I’ve been awake since before 7.
    I’ve got lots to do today!

    I’ve sorted my post out and taken to PO.
    Had lunch-tinned tomato soup and home made bread.
    I’ve decided to have a ‘use up’ week and whatever we have in the freezer and fridge will be what we are having for evening meal for as long as the food lasts.
    Just a heads up that if you go to Asda. Go to the bakery bit and if you ask for some fresh yeast, they will GIVE , yes, give you some in a little bag. Last time I went they gave me enough for 4 small loaves. :j
    Not counting the post-as that comes out of my business, I spent £5 today.
    Aiming for a few NSdays this month :)

    Been sorting stuff out and getting more stuff up for sale. :j
    Going to do more number crunching.
    I’m now back in the mortgage free in 3 part 5. :j
    Looking forward to making inroads.
    I was reading through this thread earlier. My interest rate was £8.72 a day. We renegotiated after our fix ended earlier this year and our daily interest rate is now approximately £7.46 a day.

    Working today on a late shift.
    Sorting my parcels out from my own business. I’ll drop them off at the PO on my way to work. :)
    I’ve got 2 bags of clothes to drop off on my way too. I’ve also found some more stuff to sell.
    I found some lemons in my fruit bowl that need using and I really haven’t got time or inclination to do much with them. So, I’ve zested and squeezed them and popped zest and juice in freezer for now.
    I feel I will probably make some banana bread later as I have some bananas on their last legs. Waste not want not.
    Im not expecting a no spend day today as i need to pay parking and a couple of bits I’d like to get whilst I’m out and about.
    Best get on. X
