Just seen it 1p cheaper in BF's village 🤦♀️! But I am still celebrating my win 😀
They were the 2023 targets, KP! Only a little more specific at my end 🤣!
Need to wind myself back to 2022 though first - not cooked, or explored this month, plus been drinking far too much (that was 2021 😳). We'll gloss over the glass of Baileys I've just poured for the moment 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

nothing wrong with a glass of Baileys
DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I remember once when I was in Las vegas I ordered a baileys ... the lassie didnt know how to pour one, so got a pint glass out and started pouring, a whole bottle of baileys in a pint glass for $5 I was as happy as a pig in mud ... well ye cannae expect a Scots lassie to say stop pouring can ye really ?6
