    Work and a cleaning job done. DH is teaching his Karate classes tonight, so I had pizza for tea when I got home. 

    I won a £5 ecard on the postcode lottery, not exactly the knock on the door with the giant cheque that I would like, but better than nothing! I have picked a morrisons one as that's where we do our shopping. 

    Getting very eager for payday tomorrow and to make my overpayment to the mortgage. £250 will be going into savings to get that to £900 as well. 

    Nothing planned for the weekend really. I do need to get a bag of compost as I have some house plants to repot. I need to split and repot some cacti which I can't say I'm looking forward to 😅


    Mortgage Balance as of July 2025 £14,900.
    Starting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000.
    Aiming to be mortgage free by my 40th birthday, June 2026!
