Dunno, but I'm happy regardless 😀

(Now, if the BoE would just increase interest rates to temper the increased inflation announced today....😅!)

Looks to see what I can find for the family for £70k in Glasgow - stab jackets on kids 😂

Excellent, that'll toughen 'em nicely for the bruising that is adult life 👍 

I jest, obviously 😀 I'm "willing" to take the loss of a bit of interest on the chin for the benefit of my fellow MFWs....as long as it's not for too long 🤣!

(And anyway, I paid £78.5k for my place, don't ya know 😘)

But would you want to share it with Ed's kids and his cats? I think it's probably worth him investing in a bit more space Or he could post them to you.

No cats, please - I'm allergic 😬🤣

OK, so I'm secretly quite enjoying adding on my little bit of interest to the spreadsheet every day. Passive income is the dream, right 🤷‍♀️?

Hmmmm, so I'm enjoying it a bit less since the rate reduction kicked in and it's 19p less a day 🙁!

First of the month round-up....

• Cards minus savings: £9,687.86 (DOWN £3197.25)
• Savings for retirement: £138,269.99 (UP £972.28)
• 8.46 years to go

Net credit card debt under £10k 🥳! Still feels like an endless slog though 🤦‍♀️!

September is shaping up to be something of a challenge financially. I've somewhat over-committed myself, so the micro-payments will be put to good use in not running out of money for food 😬 On that note, I'd better do some Prolific!
