RIP Mum & Dad - thanks for helping me on my journey to be
Debt and Mortgage free from 20182 -
Thanks all 😊❤️
I have genuinely had a really lovely day today.I ignored all shoulds, spent most of the day reading a novel whilst being sat on by a cat periodically ❤️, had lunch out and treated myself to a new K3n Thompson book, 3 cyclamen coum, Belgian chocolate covered brazils and some beautiful Christmas cards. I didn’t find a proper Hori Hori but am on the list for when they next come in - I will keep some money aside from my birthday money for that 😊
Mr KK came home with an enormous bouquet of flowers 💐 and then cooked dinner for us both ❤️
Fabulous day 😊🤩

Sounds a lovely day. Hurrah.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 -
