doingitanyway said:Good PADs. Good decluttering.
The resettlement figure may be less than you think. As you say, it doesn't hurt to askIt would be nice if they offered a huge discount, but I'm happy to keep paying otherwise. I'll clear it eventually.

Survey cashout yesterday means a decent pad today. I've just cashed out again, so will be able to do another one tomorrow.
I missed my hot date with Keanu last night as I thought it was tonight 😫🤦♀️. Luckily they will send round a recording. I didn't check my emails last night otherwise I would have seen all the reminders.
DH took the kids out yesterday so they ticked off another NT place. We are halfway to becoming cost neutral on our membership and only a couple of months into the membership year. They also went to the cinema so that gave me a peaceful day at home.
It's lovely not having to do the school run, though I do need to be proactive and get better about moving around and getting some exercise though! It's very easy to just sit there all day. It's nice being able to finish at a normal time."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
