Thank you Thank you!!ยItโs all done and dusted. All gone. Itโs a fantastic feeling and we havenโt quite worked out how to celebrate it, but we will do. Party at ours??!
ย We are now planning next steps to pay into a decent EF, savings but I also hanker seeing 2028 as the year when I donโt need to work on anything I donโt want to... so I will be working and donโt plan to completely stop but I donโt want to be obliged to...not sure why I have chosen this year but thatโs the working plan. Gives me some time to plot and ponder.ยLast week was also filled with joy as the 2 teenagers both got accepted onto the next courses that they want to do and OHโs work trips which had to be conducted remotely worked... and went well. All in all a fantastic week when everything went better than we had even hoped for.ยI hope everyone has had a good weekend.ยGreetings from a very sunny Bristolย
