    Gah! I've just remembered (no idea why, just the random way my brain works I guess) that I paid an arrangement fee when I re-mortgaged after the initial deal expired - that's another £995 on the "Total amount paid to mortgage" figure 😮 It didn't show up on the bank statements as I paid it on my credit card (for cashback, natch 😀)

    Off to update to show the correct figure....this borrowing lark gets more expensive all the time 🤣!

    I don't shop in Sainsburys often, but my top 3 are Serrano Ham (top 11 buyer), Butter Mintoes and a particular brand of crumpets.
    Very random!

    Blimey, I wouldn't want something telling me how much exercise I'd done over a whole year 😮😮😮! Ignorance is bliss I think!

    And serrano ham, Staffordia - very la-di-da 🤣 This (and branded crumpets) are the type of things which can be splashed out on once MF then 😀!
