Morning,
I have not worked OT this week and its been lovely. The way hubby's shifts fall it will be a while until I do more which atm suits me as I am getting to spend some time with my little one on get ontop if the house a bit.
I am doing a leg wax survey thing which should be profit of about £80 but need to go into town to get the products which is a about a 25 min drive. I had planned on getting it tomorrow as was planning on working from the office, but covid numbers are high and 1 part of the office has been closed because of it so think I will avoid that. Will pick up some gloves for the little ones 2.
My mind has been thinking quite a bit about planning for the future andI am trying to work out the sweet spot between investing in Pensions, overpaying mortgage and investing in general. I have been doing some reading on building a dividend income. I obvs can't do anything yet as I still owe family money and then need to sort my EF but it's definitely food for thought. Just lots flying around ideas wise atm.
Pay day in 4 days, tick tock, tick tock.

It is finding the right balance with the three but keep working your plans and it will begin to fall into place.

Thank you I managed to get 4 out of the 5 products and wonder if they will accept the last of I can order it online. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get.
We have been to a park today and I got some new gloves to keep the boys tosty.Mortgage Aug 2019 161,000 :eek::eek::eek:Nov 2019 156,500:T Jan 2020 153,122:T, Apr 2020 149,500, Apr2021 139, 675, Oct 2021 136,823, Dec 2021 136,120🙂EF 0/12,000 (0%)😕 (5062.44 was ERC), Jan 2023 128,650.

Waxing legs is painful, well done on being paid to do it. You are v good to go to the park in this cold weather.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Provided there's a receipt and a reason for buying online they can't really get funny about it.

Good point MF.
If I didn't take him somewhere to burn off energy my day would be harder tbh. It was quite nice when we wrapped up. He wasn't well yesterday so deserved a little treat todayMortgage Aug 2019 161,000 :eek::eek::eek:Nov 2019 156,500:T Jan 2020 153,122:T, Apr 2020 149,500, Apr2021 139, 675, Oct 2021 136,823, Dec 2021 136,120🙂EF 0/12,000 (0%)😕 (5062.44 was ERC), Jan 2023 128,650.
