I made good progress yesterday but lots I want to finish today so I'm on another mission. Little miss has a gp appointment later, so I need to try and get everything done by this afternoon's school run, which really means lunchtime due to meetings.
I still haven't done any surveys or submitted the meter readings!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1 -

I'm really pleased, but it will slow down now as all the big wins are gone.
