    Press the thanks button, it will flash up who likes your posts.
    (It will also tell you that you cannot like your own posts, but that's just being picky...)
    If it's not adding up, compound it!

    Didn't realise that, I mainly use a tablet (or table as Mr Autocorrect wanted...)
    That's how I take thanks as well!
    (Just realised I should have just thanked you... Really starting to suck at lurking!😟)

    Very small update money wise today,
    £3 to the mortgage and 2.64 to savings.
    Busy bee here but now got a week off work. Planning lots of birthday bits and praying Mondays announcement doesn't mess with that. Little man is showing signs that he could be coming down with something so having snuggles with him and really hoping he just needs a chilled eve although I am fearing the worst tbh.
    I have been accepted for some market research which will pay 120 and may just fit that into this month. 
    I also have a few people lined up for my second job next month and should be paid in advance for that which means more money to go towards the mortgage... Fingers crossed. 
    It does mean I need to fit some reading in somewhere and do some research in preparation but think that will have to be after the birthdays here.
    Onwards and downwards.... My current room I am paying for in my mind is my kitchen, its one of my favourite rooms and having the cupboards and appliances makes it easier for me to visualise paying off bits towards it and the progress being made.
    Onwards and downwards... Let's smash through the targets and protect our futures.

    The little bits do add up over time.
    Give the little guy mommy cuddles and soup, hopefully he will feel a little better tomorrow, if not more mommy cuddles and a story.
    Good luck with the MR, be nice if you could get a few more between now and the end of the year. I still wish I could find someone up here to sign me up to it as I used to do it frequently before moving.

    Owning the kitchen will be great, it's always said to be the 'heart' of a home.
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.
