My Five Year Focused, Frugal and Fun Challenge

StripeyTightsSpottySocks · 2025-04-27 18:04:20

Hello all :) it has been a long time since I posted on here and a lot has changed. I'm now single and bought my new home last year. It needs a lot of work but after the next couple of jobs are done I’m having a break from doing anything else so I can focus on paying the mortgage off. I wouldn’t book any of the people again…

Hi @carboot_karaoke and thank you. I use cash back sites but I buy so little online now.

my socialising budget is minimal- this is the real issue. Walks and going to friends are all part of meet ups - I guess living alone I go out more. I have more to ponder here…

Could you switch bank accounts ? The one off payment could be used for a few treats/social events.
