Good morning and happy Saturday 🍫☕️📚
Saturday at last! Today we go into town to collect MrWW’s prescription. I won’t declare an NSD just yet in case we pop into L*dl for some shopping bits. I would like to, but there are grumpy vibes so we shall see. I can’t pop in tomorrow as I’ll have dog with me.I tillied another £5 to the mortgage and £5 to Christmas 22. I can overpay up to 10% a year, which made me laugh when I enquired. I’m keeping a track, but short of a large pb win or a long lost millionaire relative dying and leaving me in their will it’s not likely 😬
I ordered some no more nails, which arrived during the week, so I can mend my drawer fronts. At the moment my unmentionables are in a shopping back hung from the drawers, as that particular drawer should not be wrestled with in the dark when half asleep. When the glue arrived MrWW was outraged that I hadn’t told him they need mending, despite me telling him they needed mending several times a week for many months (and the evidence being before his eyes) 🤣
I hope you all have enjoyable Saturdays filled with all good things 🍫☕️☕️☕️📚📚Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Good morning WW and friends
Hope you get your drawers fixed! I am off to town too later to return a coat (i've ordered a different one) and then collecting DD2 from her boyfriends, nice round trip of 300 miles eek!
I am currently chilling in bed before starting my self assessment

Hi @Deni_debt-free_dreamer, enjoy your drive. At least 150 miles of the journey you can sing as loudly as you like (or is that just me?). I also have money pep talks with the hound 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I will time my journey so i can listen to Liza Tarbuck as she makes me LOL. I have completed my self assessment yay! HMRC had helpfully autofilled my employment details so i don't have to try to find my P60s. Just got to check it through then pay it

Morning,
I am so impressed with the Christmas 2022 savings in January. I have started a budget but have no idea how to stash away the little bits of money into different pots until they are needed. I don’t think cash envelopes would work as my kids occasionally like to declutter my purse contents
Total Debt May 21 £20,490.44 DEBT FREE DATE 29/7/22
Mortgage balance May 21 £177,096.19. Now £143,588.36
Mortgage free date. At start of sole mortgage = July 2042
2024 SAVINGS FOCUS - get rid of the car finance. £12,706.25 PAID OFF
2025 Savings Focus - 33.3/33.3/33.3 split; savings for house renovations (bathrooms/garden/kitchen; whichever collapses first), save for a family holiday (probably our last one!) and paydown/offset the mortgage. Total pot = £3275.880
