One for me, not sure how many more I'll get for August, am having friends around later this week so that might involve a bit of spending, or it might not, we'll see. Either way, I'm hoping September will be more frugal

15 days for September. I’m actually hoping for a few more as august has been so spendy with the work on the house but with a week’s staycation I suspect 15 is probably more realistic 😉
KKAs at 15.10.25:
- When bought house £315,995 mortgage debt and end date at start = October 2039 - now £229,702
- OPs to mortgage = £12,345 Estd. interest saved = £5,863 to date
Fixed rate 3.85% ends October 2030
Read 59books of target 52 in 2025, as @ 18th October
Produce tracker: £426 of £300 in 2025
