Does your cat have an IKEA bed @beanielou ?
@CCW007 - thank you - the first of those is a strong possible5 -

I do like @beanielou's bed option - I find myself wanting one for Miss FerralMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!7 -
I was very much tickled by the fact that we bought DD2 one of those beds for her third birthday6

Aren't bills fun? That £10k walking around NW has gone for nowI realised that I'd put the wrong amount for our mortgage in YNAB (£25.94 higher than actual). I've OPed this amount and amended the figure for the rest of the year.43p cashback from TCB, 25c from a wee survey on Connect. I still need another $3 or so then I will park this particular survey platform until overtime is gone.*Edit: Have added the princely sums of 26p and 20c from Prolific!4

I'm too am feeling less than enamored with surveys atm Ed. - Had all of 43p in PA last month, which hardly seems worth the time tbh as it's a long way from cashout. P1nec0ne on the other had has been good over the past two months and has a lower cash out level. I've now decided to allocated both survey's and contests to once a week on a Sunday & call it relaxing fun, any payout is a bonus.4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)(With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)New projection - 15 YEARS 2 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 13 mths)Psst...I may have started a diary!5

@rtandon27- They've definitely tweaked their algorithms somehow - not for the better! I have a target of earning no more than £1,000 from surveys this year, won't be an issue at this rate
@CCW007 - thanks again - cat tree purchased for under £586 -
Our oven door has shattered in an awkward way that led to me damaging the frame so that I could remove the broken glass. As we've had it for a decade and had it fixed once already, it will just be getting replaced. A similar replacement will be £80 cheaper, a rare thing these days. New is £80 more than repair.
*Edit: Coming on Thursday, should be a simple replacement 🙏🏻7
