    It will be one for today. 
    Targeting 20 for November (although it looks unlikely that I will hit it this month 🤷‍♀️).

    KK
    As at 15.08.25:
    - When bought house £315,995 mortgage debt and end date at start = October 2039 - now £232,244
    - OPs to mortgage = £12,148  Interest saved £5,738 to date
    Fixed rate 3.85% ends October 2030

    Read 46 books of target 52 in 2025, as @ 28th August
    Produce tracker: £353 of £300 in 2025

  • Today will be a NSD for me.

    Re November target I’m going to be ambitious and go for 20 🤞 I’ve just learned my job will be made redundant at the end of the year (which I’m very pleased about, have been hanging on for years waiting for this day!) but it does mean I want to lessen my spending. 
  • It’s finally another one for me today
