You wouldn't need to go for full 6 month, the middle 3 could well be enough

I had a bit of good fortune today. I received email notification that my pay slip was ready to view online, (even though i don't get it paid into my bank until the last working day of the month), so i had a little nosey to see if it was the same as usual and i have received a one off Xmas bonus of £240.00. Which, after tax, means instead of receiving a net pay of £1753.51 at the end of this month, i will be receiving £1926.11. Which works out an additional £172.60 that i wasn't expecting, so that's something positive to start the new year with 😁

Some of you may be pleased to know i only have a few more saved quote pictures left to post as i have stopped saving them for a while now as i knew i had more than enough to last until the end of my little journey on here. I may find a couple of extra christmas related ones to add in before the big day though as i hadnt saved many of those.
I do like to read and see these quotes and pictures, and i have saved my 3 favourite ones for the last day. I really could post these quotes forever, the more i post the more i see of them and the more i could save every single day to repost on here. But we are nearly there with the quotes now folks 🫶🏼
