The pension transfer is complete!!!
It looks as though the ISA transfer is actually happening as well (I'll be 😱 if it's not, as my balance is £0.00 with both providers) so my financial admin tasks could be wrapped up for a while 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Fingers crossed it all goes through and then you can sit back and watch the interest come rolling in 😏Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20172

Sadly I doubt there'll be too much for a while - there's only £750 in there 🤣! But watch this space once I get this blimmin' refurb out of the way (which I'm not even onto saving up for yet 🤦♀️)!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

MIDWEEK PIZZA - whoops 😳!!!
(In my defence, Plan A - beans on toast - was a non-starter, as I forgot I didn't have any bread 🤦♀️)
(However, Plan B was perfectly sensible and I went for Plan C instead 🤦♀️)
(I did at least put kale on it, so I could pretend it was vaguely healthy 😀)Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

But homemade pizza is healthy - that doesn’t look caked in cheese and has vegetable toppings. Don’t be so hard on yourself - you are allowed to eat nice food!!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Thanks Vix 😀! I'll accept homemade is healthier - but beans on toast would still have been better 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Big homemade pizza fans here, we have got in a bit of a toppings rut though- your veggie ones look great. I am pretty sure homemade is significantly healthier than shop ones!Emergency fund 13.5k Home/ holiday fund 6.5k Mortgage £45,614

I don’t know about beans on toast - not such a variety of veg and quite a bit of sugar and salt (or additives if you get the lower sugar/salt ones). They may not be full portion sizes of the veg but variety is key.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

I know nothing about what is healthy or not but I do love pizza and beans in general. Just not toast.1

In my head, beans on toast = good, as beans are a superfood/pulses/protein, but I agree once you add the bread and the preservatives it's probably not the best!
However, I have had pizza again tonight (Friday night being pizza night), which is why pizza on a Thursday was a bad idea 🤣🤣🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
