So by 2028 you will have enough to retire early? How many years between retiring early and your state pension becoming available? Apologies for the questions but I like detail lol!

@[Deleted User], yes I will. I will be 60 in 2028 so 7 years until state pension becomes available.

WFH today so will be a no spend day. Have a meeting this afternoon and I need to prepare this morning.

Car insurance renewal quote has just turned up in my inbox, £80 more than last year, job for lunch break looking for a cheaper quote.

Cleared out the paint storage box this morning and have listed several half tins of paint on a free site, make be of use to someone, instead of going to the recycling centre.

Good morning, 

Blue skies this morning, hope it stays that way, so I can get some washing dried, fingers crossed. Plan for today is to start emptying the front room ready for building work in a few weeks, don't want to leave it till last minute as we are also going on holiday, so need to sort packing etc.

Car insurance renewal still needs to be sorted and I want to open a ISA, will look to see who is offering the best rates, will move my fixed saver accross when it matures in June.

Envelope number 50 has also been filled this week, very happy how thus challenge is going, will definitely be taking part next year, make me more mindful when I am spent my cash.

Have a great day all.

Hope the weather stays good for you. Don’t leave it too late getting car insurance quotes. I did and I missed any cheap deals.

good luck getting your washing dried. I was hopefull for a nice sunny day today, but so far (i know its still early) its not very bright at all. But also(whispers 'it isnt raining')

I seem to have fallen by the way side with the envelop challenge, but I have a bunper week of work next week, so hoping to get another couple filled

Its looking promising @-FlowerPot~ I have a envelop on my desk and I fill with the money I would have spent on something else, like a coffee etc, its making me more mindful about my spending. Hope you get a few filled next week.
