My 2 boys are due to be done in a couple of weeks, when I spoke to the vet he’s asked if they had 2 ‘bits down’ so I had my son pick them up so I could feel, it’s a good job we love them ! Can’t wait till they can go out and burn off steamSealed pot challenge 822

Yaay and Whoo Hoo for hitting your OP target for the year already!! 🎉🥳🎊 Well done 😊
Will you carry on with OPs or will you divert to savings or pension for the rest of the year?

I think I will split payments between OPs and savings for the rest of the year as it has been an expensive month !Mortgage OP 2026 £1990/2000Mortgage balance: £29,071

Day off and I am still on the sofa! Just about to get ready to go for a run but cuddles with Miss S are priority.
Work has been crazy and this month I have worked more hours than I would have before I cut my hours! We just get straight time too but there is a lot of emotional blackmail and pushiness getting staff to work extra, I need to get stronger at saying no.
I also need to get my weight in check as most of my clothes are way too tight😩

Well done on hitting your OP target ! & Miss S is just too cuteDON'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.

Well I went for a run but forgot earphones! I really enjoyed listening to the waves for a change, very relaxing. I just picked up a lovely top I bought off Vinted for a couple of pounds and it’s gorgeous 🩷 so all in all a good day.Mortgage OP 2026 £1990/2000Mortgage balance: £29,071
