I completely agree!redofromstart said:I never make myself finish books I am not enjoying. Reading should be a pleasure, not a chore.I think you are irreplaceable personally - anyone can see you have an great level of detail whilst looking at the long term
- that’s v clear from your diary ..
I am sure everyone apart from pain in the unmentionables boss is missing youGreat news re you having 6 months bare savings plus now the extra ! a big sigh of relief indeed !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.

The settlement monies have hit my account! It’s blown my current account’s little automated mind - I’ve had the usual message on my phone from the account but with the addition of “this is £xK over your your usual …” 😉😂
