At some point you'll have to find the exit to your savings account... 

Good news on the crispbread. Have you tried rye bread?

I ordered some but it didn't arrive, will try again next week. 

I just like like to look at the savings and smile, not actually use them even though they are the mortgage offset funds

Most of my savings are in places it's a hassle to look at them. The ones I can see are the ones I keep spending...

I can even kill non-supermarket mint.
A day in bed drinking tea sounds ace.

I'm not normally called cute @KajiKita but I'll take it 🤣
Thank you and welcome. It's a lovely group full of lovely people and @Naomim has done a nice job of keeping it running. This is my first time doing a challenge and I'm loving it

I am all for the sub groups.  We started with the aim of 10% overpayment, based on a thread on here and we drew up a house of overpayment bricks for every £20 we didn't spend.  If you read back you know we didn't see or plan for the early retirement pension lump sum things making us mortgage neutral.  Just flipping lucky.  We still have the odd morning of 'did I dream this?'

Instead of staying in bed with tea and a book I went food shopping with the aim of batch cooking.  Chilli rice in the freezer/curry rice in the fridge/gammon campfire PON stew chilling, and mince to do something with tomorrow.  Always worth chopping and marinating chicken in plain yoghurt for an hour to make it tender.

Well done redo. We use lentils more than mince these days but I would still use it in a Sheppard's pie. I make mine with mince onion (sometimes carrot and celery) half tin toms. Full tin baked beans Inc juice. Stock cube and worcs sauce. It's lovely with a cheesy mash top.

Oh forgot add some mixed herbs too
