Declaring very early to make it 19/23
Am already thinking about December. That is a month I struggle with for lots of reasons so I am thinking I will go for a very low target of just 10 so i can achieve it rather than the white knuckle ride of the last two months.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 !!4 -
1/15 please for yesterday. Finally managed an AFD after returning from holiday. I really struggle to get back not drinking after being away. So this month is a write off but if it means a better start to December that will be good.
Happy belated birthday @sukeyboo, hope you had a wonderful day.3 -
