#16 £55.30 for March so far please julicorn.
Money comes from what I call 'bottom of the bag', bits that I accumulate daily. Hoping to pay £500 extra this month, it will then put the mortgage into the 60k range (even if it is not by much) it is a big phycological boost for me.
Mr. Pepper announced he is going to T3sco in the morning for a card and gift for the MIL, I'm not bothered about what he spends, but I did laugh to myself when he said, I'm buying X, because it is cheaper! LOL. He is now even more onboard with clearing the mortgage and early retirement.
Have a good weekend everyone.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538
