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 😂

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 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
