  • Well yesterday's big PAD didn't happen as we were still waiting for a cheque to clear. But today I am happy to report a PAD of £1 to the Christmas/Birthday pot and a massive £1,000 to Mortgage OPs.  This was curtesy of FIL who gave us a very unexpected Christmas present.

    Wowzer, that is a whopper of a PAD @Makingabobor2! What a generous gift and it'll really help with the mortgage balance I bet 🤗.

    I'm still working out my goals for 2024, but debt overpayments will definitely be a thing, along with getting a foundation of savings together.
