    Thanks everyone. Beginning to look ahead to a less frantic lifestyle (at least commuting wise) and finding that it’s a nice thing to be looking forward to!

    Did all the YNAB but haven’t updated goals. Must do that shortly.

    Hope everything is Ok for everyone

  • Morning Brizzle, great news about a permanent role but mainly because of the reduction in travel.

    Brilliant, Tilly xxxx

    Thanks Tilly for popping by :kiss:

    All good just in a flat spin trying to get things in a steady state before I start to go.

    Money OK - OH had a welcome boost from FL work which is great. Stashed 70% away in the tax fund which always helps :)

    Have a good Thursday folks xx

    Battling on. Shattered. Helping a friend move this weekend as well as usual domestic stuff and also need to pack for the holiday at the Term Break. 6th form visits this week and new job beginning to dawn... Ho hum. These days will pass :D but I do frequently wonder if I take on too much.... :eek:

    In money terms OH is diligently sorting YNAB every couple of days or so and it’s working well. Think we are generally spending less, and the new budget arrangements from the Barefoot Investor are working well for us. Have found a new accountant too. Met at a women’s networking event and she’s oodles cheaper than my last one so let’s see how that goes.

    So so sorry for not visiting the diaries. Hope that usual business will resume soon!!

    Lots of love to you all
