The council tax is due end of March / start of April (grrrrr), will see if I can 'pinch' bits from other areas to compensate. Focus is on retirement and as this is our only debt I just keep thinking every pound or tenner thrown at it is less time spent working.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538
