Ah the old age question of CS v Vinted !I have 5 things on Vinted (all new designer with tags) all else is going to CS as I need the stuff gone
I have now watched all of the Swedish death cleaning programme and it’s really spurring me on to declutter for life and having a home that reflects me now
lovely pics and woohoo to start date - enjoy your time off !DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Another mortgage payment and another OP of £750 which takes another three months off my mortgage so good to see it coming down.
I haven’t been up to much, a bit of running and got my nails done. I have been enjoying the sunshine and chilling in the garden reading books, with the cat sitting under my chair, such a loyal companion.
Meeting up with friends tomorrow and Saturday but I don’t think the weather will hold.Mortgage OP 2025 £7550/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
