Thanks @cathybird not to worry it is just a regular check up, It was not as bad as I made out she was good at it, well sort of! MD has paid for lunch so I am up to 3 No spend days afterall...I Think I owe a lot to MD! Although I did make her lunch in the garden and I did do some grocery shopping for her!

Missions: -

1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) £2000/£3500 By end of 2025!
2) Pay off Mortgage Starting £58000 (11/04/2017) - Current balance £46985.67 (21/10/2025) Unknown time frame? Start coming soon. ( another 5 years?)
3) Improve the number of no spend days.
