18/20 if I include today. Harder than I thought. Happy with 20 for September @cathybird Thank youMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
18/20 for August please, Cathybird. I’ve had way too many temptations this month!4

25/28 for me please. Fell a bit short of target due to family occasions but I’m absolutely delighted knowing I can go out and have a glass of wine and stop after one. That is a huge relief to me! I’m happy to keep same target for September.
Thank you @cathybird for your hard work on this thread and every one else for the inspiration and support.4
