    First of the month round-up….

    • 4x extra £50s this month, coming from bank account cashback, receipt scanning, surveys, TopCashBack, interest, some tilly tidies and another energy rebate (thank you, ZipZero 😀). Used them towards the refurb 🥱

    • Have been browsing kitchens….

    Another good month on the markets, everything up. One of the frozen pensions is showing over £2k of growth in the last 3 months - can't see that trend carrying on much longer in this year of elections, but glad to make hay in the meantime!

    10.81 years to go….

    Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
    Cleared 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
    Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed

    Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!

    Awwww, thanks PIP - that means a lot 🥰🥰🥰 

    Have just done a survey which made me think of KP. Can't think why 🤣!

    This has just reminded me that I'm out...

    Whoops, sorry 🤣! 

    Two more discarded receipts in Lidl today (could have been three, but it was busy and I felt like I was being a bit obvious 🤣) - neither of which used Lidl Plus. I feel like standing over people and making sure they have it!!!

    Markets have been insane of late. I have a slow growing SIPP where I thought £70k was an optimistic goal for maybe the next couple of years (was at £6xxxx). It has now passed £73k 🤯
