Aiming for Mortgage Free!

Good weekend, ate way too much watching the rugby (which was awful, not because we lost, just because we showed so little creativity!). Had a nice 10kms run and some good circuit classes at home though.

Money wise....was an expensive one with a takeaway, food shop (had to get washing powder and a number of other one offs which made it a very pricy week :-( ) and some clothes shopping. Good news is that payday now means we have a healthy emergency fund of 3 months expenses! So starting to build up a pot to make mortgage OPs, paying this into Premium Bonds and hopefully get a little extra to then pay off a lump sum against the mortgage....Will see how it goes!

Into my last few weeks at work, thank goodness. Can't wait to get it done and then be off for a week before getting my teeth into the new job :-)

Well done on the EF!

Good job on the emergency fund! @rugbymadfamily

Well done on the EF. That's a great point to hit... I hope to get there later this year.

Thanks @savingholmes, its only 3 months worth at the moment so definitely will need topping up in the future but now want to get on with mortgage OPs now that I have an EF for the first time in my adult life! Normally my CC has been the EF!

Cheap and quiet weekend here but productive nonetheless! Got lots of jobs done around the place and am well set up for my final week at work. Still a lot to get through but can only do my best, then on to a week off....much needed week off!

Managed to get a 10km run in which was good, not a very fast one, but got one done!

Hopefully get some more decorating done this week and get another room started, thats about all lockdown has been helpful for!

Well done on the run and the decorating.

Nearly got blown away on my morning "commute" did an hour cycle before work but was so windy!

NSD number 5 so going well so far this month. Next bit of decorating should be really cheap as just need to buy paint and found some very well priced in W*lkos. Have everything else we need, just elbow grease now 💪

Quiet weekend but got my next bit of decorating done, really happy with it especially given used very cheap paint and wallpaper (office space so only me using it lol gone higher quality in other rooms!). 

Very pleased with the England win 😀  but I've been very un-MSE today... the next Rugby World Cup is in 2023 in France and tickets were released today....snapped some up! But that will form a big part of our 2023 holiday plans (for which there is a budget in place!) so all good as far as I am concerned!

Oooh I don’t think you can pass up the rugby tickets if it’s your passion! Well worth the sacrifice! X

Had to go into Tesco this evening for few bits for dinner (forgot the key ingredient for tonight's dinner when shopping at the weekend 😳 ) and while I was there managed to pick up a pork joint for £9 and cut it into 6 joints for roast dinners and only came out with the things on my list, winning!
