Ah, well at least I'm not going up! £14 is a nice saving though Ruby, especially when it doesn't take loads of shopping around to get it!
Am sure when the council tax bill arrives it will be going up by more than my water reduction, and on Saturday I have all the fun of the car insurance comparisons to come 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Today I ordered a statement of my pensions, worked out what I think it should be with CPI applied (not too bad) and I got my leaving gift from the nightmare job I left last week, got amazon vouchers which i sold to a mate at face value and put the money into the mortgage fund! Thanks ex colleagues for helping with my mortgage!Mortgage start date Dec 2019 - £217,000 MFD Dec 2034
