Thanks ladies. And it was only a little bit Caz (about the size of a malteser - with sincere apologies to anyone eating a malteser right now!), but it did follow straight after going on a 3-mile walk with chest pain. Lesson learned, I promise! I have always been a bit head in the sand regarding health niggles (the furthest I would get would be to do some Googling and then push it out of my mind) but I am determined to be a bit more proactive from now on xMortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

In MSE news, the hotel for our city break in 4 weeks' time (originally postponed from March) have agreed to push back our booking to October next year 😀 Great news, as it was originally a non-amendable booking. It's in a local lockdown area, so we'd decided we'd postpone if we could (good job too, as I probably shouldn't be getting on a plane right now 😮). We hadn't booked our flights as we could see there was still plenty of availability so were holding off, so that was the only thing that needed changing. I've now moved the flight and spending money into my "float" account to keep me ticking over, as I'm sure I can save it back up again over the next 12 months 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Hmmm... I think you're in Professor McGonagall territory now - eyebrows and pursed lips!
