Ended up working overtime last week and taking more over the next couple of months. I have booked someone to put new fences up for me which will make my garden feel much more private and hopefully encourage me to spend more time there and pretty it up. But while I have the money in savings I want to replace it asap!
Had a lovely day with friend on sat at a talk about herbs, food for thought and a lovely way to spend some time.
I have decided I am going to split my focus between saving and OPs. The earlier I pay down the mortgage the less interest I will pay but I want things done so need to replenish savings as I go. Hopefully this will mean I don’t get too fed up on the way. I do realise I seem to change my focus monthly 😂

Thank you Newstartforme, she appreciates someone who feels the same way as she does! She is getting bigger by the day, currently chewing on a book😱 she’s quite dog like, she didn’t want her claws clipped last night but put a paw gently in my face whereas previous cat would have clawed my hand off!Newstartforme said:Just popping by to say I love your little cat , I would certainly spoil her too xMortgage OP 2026 £1990/2000Mortgage balance: £29,071

Another £20 from 0nep0ll so that has gone to savings. Still not put any clothes up for sale but have a bit more time off next week. Took some more OT this week and have quite a few social things on so busy, busy.
Another 3 lb off so heading in the right direction.Mortgage OP 2026 £1990/2000Mortgage balance: £29,071
