the office /bathroom sounds exhausting - half a cupboard has been in the hallway for a week waiting some shelving and I am going mad with the messDON'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.

Thanks all 😊 We are a mixture of yaay, sub £250K and OMG still £249K to go ….! 😉😂
Flooring went down in the bathroom today so I have put out the new sage green bathmat. Oh the LUXURY of a heated towel rail in the summer and an LED mirror …. 🤩❤️😊 The soft browns (sounds better than beige you know … 😂) are working well with the sage green. I will repeat that colour in the blind and the hand towel. It’s starting to feel really restful 😊
Cut a fresh bunch of sweetpeas this evening 😊
Both Georgeous and Chloe have been wobbling about on top of the pergola today … When Chloe was up there, she miaowed to the point that Mr KK went and got the step ladder and by the time he brought it back she’d got down …! 😂🙄😂

love the kitten/cat tales.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -

That did make me laugh. Our Tiny cat used to run up and down the roof ridge shouting 'whee' at 12 weeks old. We only rescued her once when she ran straight back up. She still climbs up the tree and enters via the top floor windows.Must re think her nick name unless we now have 'Tiniest'...My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese
