I know that feeling. I'm signed up to loads which is fine - but with it being new year people are posting more than normal or doing catch up posts where their diaries were dormant for a while!South_coast said:Blimey, MFW is busy at the moment 😓! I'm meant to do surveys in the ad breaks, not spend the entire evening trying to catch up on diaries - slow down 🤣!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

😂😂😂 I'm a guilty party so I do apologise (mind you, I'm usually a waffler and I'm not actually sure I'm being any worse than normal, so...) 😂😂
How's about one diary, one money making thing and alternate? 😁9 -
Cheery, that's waaaaay too systematic....🤣!
And no, you're not waffling any more than usual (!) - just too many new diaries and associated enthusiasm 😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
