Thanks all for your kind messages. It was a sad start to the week but at least we know that he was in the best hands and he didn't have a long illness and suffer. He will be truly missed by many.

£380 sent to the credit card account today.

I had a look at what the investment ISA made last year. The closing balance for 2024 was £1000 and it had gained £65 so not bad overall. Hopefully a similar level of increase for this year but we shall see.

Wow next month your credit card will begin with a 2! Always used to cheer me up a lot when the amount went under the thousands or hundreds too.

Yes. I'm very much looking forward to getting rid of that card this year.

Will free up a decent chunk of money for additional savings and mortgage overpayments.

We are both looking forward to a lie in tomorrow morning. It's been a busy last couple of weekends so we are looking forward to a quiet one this weekend.
