Delighted to see that my credit card balance is back to £0.00 this morning now all my refunds for the shopping extravaganza have been processed. I didn't think it would stress me out so much, but clearly it reflects my need to have order in my life!
Also delighted to see that the mortgage balance has gone below £5k, so have treated myself to a second dancing fairy in my signature 🧚♀️ Clearly I'm a girl who knows how to have a good time 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Thanks greent 😀!
Today is shaping up to be a good day. BF is out running an errand this morning, so I got him to drop me at Lidl and walked back to his place. My feet weren't hurting too badly (stupid new trainers still rubbing my heels 🙄 but I had packed them out with multiple plasters and two pairs of socks), so I took a longer route back. 2.6 miles, according to Google Maps. We'll gloss over the fact that what I bought in Lidl was a slab of brie for my lunch 🤦♀️
I've also had my £5 of Nectar points added for trialling the face creams last month, and I've just arranged to pick up 6 bulbs of garlic and 2 bags of shallots on Olio (good job I live alone!) 😋 Happy days!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
