    :oHello :wave:

    It feels like a very long time since I opened my diary, possibly because it is :o
    I hope you’ll forgive my absence. Without dwelling on unpleasantness from the past, the end of 2018 was simply horrid and left me feeling like I could never trust the online world again. However, over time I gained perspective and realised that I had learned a lot from the experience and the chances of it repeating itself were slim and I no longer feel as anxious as I :odid.
    There has been a lot of upheaval and change in 2019, some great, some less so but I have missed my little diary and my MSE buddies so much that I am ready to get back to normal. Older, wiser and a little more cynical but otherwise just the same old frugal piggy:p
    There is so much to update that I’m not sure where to start so for the time being I'm going to ponder!
    September always feels like a new year to me as I return to school and it’s my mortgage anniversary at the end of August so I need plans!

    I hope you are all well and I’m looking forward to catching up on all my favourite diaries.
    Happy Tuesday to you, it feels so good to be back :)

    PP xx
    Original mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.

    Hello PP :wave:
    Sorry to hear it's been so rough for you for so long, but glad that time has meant you can remember the good stuff online too - I never had that level of problem on mse, but I had it elsewhere, and its utterly, utterly horrible. So I'm really glad you're back!

    Take your time :)
