Hello MFWs
I'm de-lurking after living vicariously through you all for a very long time. I've exchanged on my first house today! So now I'm a MFW too.
My context: I'm a divorced, single mum (1DS). We'll be moving into a little 2-bed house with our moggy. I've taken out a 95% repayment mortgage over 27 years, which takes me to what I expect will be SP age for my generation.
As well as plodding towards financial independence (and, with a following wind, early retirement), I like to enjoy the simple things: family and friends, crafty hobbies, reading and having a walk in the fresh air.
Welcome to all who stop by.

Thanks @powerspowers and @CrazyBee787 😊
I went "shopping" in my mum's loft yesterday. I now have pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, glasses and even a lovely wall hanging. The kitchen in my rental is fully equipped, so I would have had to buy all that stuff. And Mum is happy because she's decluttered!1
