I don't think there's necessarily any need to leave something in your will to a charity to make use of the "free" will writing service. Our local solicitor drew us up a straightforward mirror will for a donation of £50 (from memory) when we got ours done after DD was born. We'll probably update it in November once DD2 arrives.4

Oh yes that’s right - it was in the will probably a donation. Been 5 ish years since I did it and my brain’s turned to mush! 😂2025 decluttering: 2,142🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎 🌟

I've had a few free money payouts in the last couple of days and my brain has NOT got the "no tracking" memo yet - I keep wanting to make a note of it 🤦♀️! This isn't going to work if I'm still thinking about it, the point was to free myself from the thinking!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

It's amazing how well I'm sleeping with nothing to think about/no alarms set/no neighbours slamming doors/starting diesel engines outside my window during the small hours. I'm consistently getting 8-9 hours a night - no wonder I'm usually so tired! Next week is going to be a shock to the system!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
