Well I went to get car fixed and they said it was fine no need to rush but just back from holiday and now needing something else fixed - cars are such a joy! Estimated at £300.
So the theme of this month is no unnecessary spending...one overtime shift booked and might add a second.

Extra overtime shift added Beanie and it's happened at the beginning of the month so I will be able to cut back for the whole month.Mortgage End Date: Apr 36/Aiming for Aug 28/Current Sep 35

Another month, another mortgage payment... and overpayment so I have moved back into 2035 at last. Still not sold much but have made some changes to work life balance which hopefully will mean I will have freed up some spare time for me which can be used either to take on extra work and make extra money or sell and declutter my stuff. Feeling positive at the minute

Thank you both for popping by, I am trying to get into the habit of using mse more again, so hope to catch up with everyone soon. This afternoon I have been playing around with the overpayment calculator sussing out how early I could feasibly pay my mortgage off. I need to remember to leave enough spare cash to enjoy life though...Mortgage End Date: Apr 36/Aiming for Aug 28/Current Sep 35

It's a balance isn't it. Not everything costs £ though. I for one have learned to appreciate my local park far more this last couple of years. In the past I ignored it and always travelled to NT places instead...
