Was DD ok going to college last week?
I love autumn, all the colours are so pretty and I quite like rain. We came out of the gym last night and it was dark but it was warm like being on holiday. I don't like winter though when it really turns cold.
Hope you all have a good weekend and no Schmundays 😆 great word by the way!Mortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46. J- £103.27, F- £115, M- £91.50, A- £100, M- £200, J- £200. J- £200. A-£200, S- £221.34

Well done on getting the cc to 0 & I will be watching as you kill the mortgageDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Well this morning was a first.
First time my daughters played a football match for her U18 women's team.
And first time I've stood on the sidelines and watched a football game! 🤣🤣
(I'm taking a chair next time!!)
I'm so so proud of her. Only been playing 2 months and she's fraught her anxiety and pushed herself. The team lost unfortunately, but they are a completely new side and the other team we very strung and been playing together for alot longer!
So the team football part is gong really well and she feel quite comfortable with the other girls. Football at the college is not quite so good! Still it's only been 2 weeks. So 🤞🤞it settles down.
Went to the king of burgers to celebrate how brilliant she is!
Not got much on the rest of the weekend. Need to list some more stuff on v1nted.
Plus I need to make decisions about what I'm gong to do for work. It looks like I might have 2 tutees come November which would be great.
Also seen an open evening for jobs at a special school which looks good, but it's 30 mins away, but part of it is residential, so could do evenings and it's wouldn't impact DD. Although I do want her to start getting the bus!
