Is anyone else totally over being an adult at the moment? Life seems to be one endless round of emptying the dishwasher/doing the laundry/dutiful daughter tasks/etc etc etc at the moment, and I'm sure that's not what I signed up to 🙁!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I think that might just be the weather/end of summer-itis? I’m definitely miserable about the fact that we haven’t got anything exciting happening until later this month, but also don’t want to rush the month on as the weather/daylight will only get worse. And after several weeks of not really doing five days per week, it’s all very mundane at the moment (and we’re only two days into the week/month!)Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
