    Whoops, back again. Mental health been pretty bad over the last couple of months and I’ve not been on the forum at all for a while.

    Finance updates are as follows:

    Starting mortgage balance at 23/4/25 £120,999
    Current balance £119,750.54
    August daily interest £13.39
    Interest rate 4.07%

    Car finance £9,657.64 (5.7%)
    New bed £1,646.20 (0%)

    Mortgage is now under £120K which I’m glad about, and car finance under £10K. 

    Dining room was decorated as planned and they did another great job of it. My new bedroom is still a work in progress and I need to spend a decent amount of time going through stuff in there, but it’s very slowly getting there.

    Will post a more comprehensive update over the next couple of days.
