  • 8/12 yesterday for me.  Today’s fate hangs in the balance - depends whether DH manages to pick up a secondhand TV on his way home from work to replace the one DS just broke (with a spoon no less).  That now makes a total of four TVs broken in 3 years by DD3 and DS.  After a particularly awkward conversation over our home insurance following the second broken one, we at least learnt to replace with secondhand items.  Still, getting beyond a joke now :cry:.
    Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

    Mortgage start Dec 2024 £247,069.59 - now £243,955.28
