I don't get paid till mid Jan so I clad this all as Dec savings still.
I would love to be able to pay £50 off our holiday next winter and Bank £50 plus over pay £80 with my remaining pay. But that's a lot to stretch too!Part time worker.

I over-stretched earlier in the month - so think will end up using EF slightly but never mind.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality

SOOOO.....
My 2022 financial and me so financial plans
1) have the mortgage under 40k by April.
2) start over paying my pension by at least £75 a month starting April.
3) over pay mortgage by any amount I can as my current 80ish over payment will go to the pension over payment.
4) run a 10k by December.
5) either commit to move or extend the housePart time worker.

Have you got a Clarks outlet nearby? They and eBay were my saving grace when we were at that stage.

Great plans for 2022
On the kids shoes - did I read that some shoe shops do an offer that their size is correct and will last - and if not they contribute towards next pair? Worth checking...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality
