Sadly 😿 🌈 

Totally unexpected and why I've been absent. Tried to do a quick post ever since but couldn't write the words 💔

I hear and feel her at night, comforting yet upsetting at the same time.

Great progress and glad to hear mortgage arranged. Have you got a date in mind when it will be paid off?

(((BIGEST HUGS)))

So hard when we lose one of our fur babies. They really do become one of the family.

How much longer do you have on the course?

For some reason I thought you had given up your main job. Is that still the plan?

Reading back over what you have been up to so I am uptodate

Thank you Skinty, FP and DIA; welcome back x

Planning to be MF in just under 5 years.

Tutor couldn't say when the course ends and only referenced "summer". Didn't go down too well when I recommended they advertise it correctly next time as I booked it based on the ad now got told different.

It's still my intention to give up the day job, most of my savings have been depleted this year on repairs / maintenance, and an extra year makes a huge dent on the mortgage and replenishing savings; I wasn't happy with that decision, however it's for the best at the moment.

I've struggled due to the loss, developed anxiety and panic attacks. There's strong urges to jack everything in as it was all done with creating a better life for our little family. All I can do is take it hour or day at a time.

Sorry life is a struggle. Sorry about your cat. 

Good news on the mortgage fix.

Sorry it feels tough right now.
MF in 5 years would be amazing

Oh I am so sorry about your loss I lost mine in October and still find myself choking up every time I think of him.

Mortgage free plans sound amazing I can't wait to get to the point where I say, just another 5 years!

Sorry about the cat, we lost ours last year and there's still a hole. x

Thank you SH, DIA, DFW321 and jwil

So sorry you're going through it too.

Always leaves a big void when they pass as they are my babies in a fur coat, I still mourn the loss of my others. She was the one I had after my first passed and would have been the equivalent of an 88 year old this month.

I repeatedly burst out crying at my tattoo session yesterday having the 🦋 added to my others.

It's never a home without 😺. I'm sure I've two hearts, the one for furbabies is huge.

I've not been taking as many 3rd home bookings as I should, I can only hold emotions and have conversations for a limited time. I have come up with an offer for next month which is around the time my website goes live 😊

2nd home has been my mental saving grace, I really got stuck in to that and found a way of clearing that works for me / my health.

Originally I'd planned to clear the mortgage in 5 years, but didn't anticipate getting married, having an allotment and re-training / starting a business. I'm looking at approx £750pm between the contractual and O/P (and saving everything over the 10% O/P allowance).

I've also done a massive declutter at home 😄
