    A bit more tidying done this afternoon.  Like many others I am starting to ponder on what I want to achieve next year.  I'm also considering what can be decluttered in a last push before the end of the year!

    I need to remember to repurchase my PBs before the end of the month.

    You've just reminded me to add decluttering to my New Year goals list. It was on this year's list too but I didn't get that far with it 🤣
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    I want to ramp it up again next year, we seem to have been coasting for a while!

    Thanks for the PBs nudge
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 1400/1000
    Buffer fund 100/100
