    And following up on :money: weekly email we (OH!! :)) saved us 50% on our phone and internet bill by moving from BT to PlusNet. Yes we lose the TV package but as we only watch films we can get that through A*azon, G9ogle etc. Not a bad start to his day.. all sorted by 7am he says (I was already on my way to work :( )

    And.. changes afoot for me too. Need to get my head round it, but lots of advantages

    Hope everyone is good x

    PS read the FIRE article too. Nice story. Not sure I will be truly FIRE for years.. but definitely still planning to be very choosey with work at 55... Not that I don’t love my roles now but I would like more time off in the year. But for now need to clear the debts for the car and then build up savings rates
