Thanks Vix 😀 Not much opportunity for free money today, as I am off to see my sister and niece. In fact it will be a money-spending day, as I need petrol and also to try on the underwear I collected yesterday (morning walks are meaning I'm getting through two sets a day, plus two bras have very inconveniently decided now is the time to shed their wires 🙁) So this month's free money will be directed towards becoming petrol and underwear neutral!
First of the month and just updated the money needed figures. As expected, it's slipped back a bit, but not by as much as I've had to transfer out to cover one month's living expenses, so clearly the free money IS helping!
Have a great day all 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
