:oHello :wave:
It feels like a very long time since I opened my diary, possibly because it is
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 xxOriginal 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!
