Thanks Daisy, Mark and Sandy
Mark you found me on about page 9 - but then must have lost me again.
Happy New Year all.
Yesterday I had fun in hobbycraft and have bought myself a little wooden house and gave it a mini extension using wooden frames from toppers - and have painted it and glued on little wooden toppers to symbolise the mortgage payments I've made. When I started my mortgage journey I had 264 payments to make and am now down to 251. I may post a photo at some point. I also bought some other stuff - but had a 15% off voucher to use and some of what I bought was on 3 for 2 so felt blessed. Still in budget.
I also got some YS food at C00p.
I've also been paid over £14 in interest which is nice on my B savings.
