    So enjoying a weekend with minimal stuff to do. Will do some work tomorrow but that’s a whole 24 hours away :D bliss...

    New budget holding up. Much less budget lines and I am enjoying the simplicity of the Barefoot approach. Feel calmer as a result.

    Hope everyone is good. Enjoy the weekend x

    Hi brizzle - just caught up with you! Your holiday sounded amazing. I love the wilds of Scotland!

    Must have a look at the Barefoot Investor. Interestingly, there was a news article in The Times today on FIRE. The article even garnered a spot in the old Thunderer's editorial column!

    Have a good day!

    Thanks for popping by SF, SSG, jwil and all :kiss: I must look for that article. Thanks for the tip. Been running around like the proverbial today so haven’t seen. But am ahead of where I usually am. Dinner in oven ready for my getting back from class.. yay! Quiche using lots of eggs from my lovely hens and HM pastry too. Leftovers and a few veggies in as filling. Think it will be good.

    DD1 also getting interviews. Please send positive thoughts. She’s a good kid and I’d like her to be on her way to getting some cash in too ;)

    Have a good evening all
