Shaving off the years at Sleepy Hollow

  • Well another car bites the dust. Savings hadn't recovered thanks to car repair costs & got a whole 2 months from the runaround despite it having a years mot. 

    My dad has very kindly given me sole use of his car until I can gather together a decent deposit for something much newer.

    Still cracking on with the mortgage overpayments, Christmas is going to plan so far & mortgage rates look like they're starting to improve!! We're due for renewal in July and considering a 5 year fix this time depending on rates!
    Debt Free as of December 2020 👏
