Thanks SC, it is something me and DH were discussing because ideally it should be 15% of your earnings every month going into retirement, so we were thinking a long those lines. 🙂

Morning Jessy, I had an awful night last night too..am grumpy and tired today.
DH is looking into sipps too. Aside from hearing the word on here I don't know anything about it. And my pension is minimal, I'll be getting nothing when I get to that age as stayed home with kids most of my adult life and only done part time jobs 😌. Well done for thinking about it now whilst you're a bit younger than me!

Hope you are feeling better. We have a strip of grass the other side of our wall that people just let their dogs go on and don’t clear up it’s so annoying.

I can imagine! As a dog owner it really riles me up because I always pick up after my dogs!

I had a much better sleep last night and feel a lot brighter this morning. It is my day off today, so just deciding what to do with it. DH has made me a cup of tea in bed, but now he's drifted off back to sleep which is a little annoying as I was hoping he'd go down to feed the dogs and make crumpets while he was down there 🤣
Anyway, we're thinking about going to the woods with the dogs for a nice walk and it'll be Saga's first trip there. I also need to do some washing and some weeding. Then I need to look at cameras and pensions with DH!
Also, I paid £50 off the mortgage with some of the interest accrued from the matured savings account 🙂 Balance is £187,502.89

Hi @Jessy103 just caught up on your thread.
Great news about your new, and happy customers 😊
Really glad Dog 1 is much better.
Has your moms new medication arrived yet? I hope it makes a difference.

Thanks CK x Unfortunately, no change with mum on her new medication yet 😔 The doctor has told her to take it for 8 weeks before going back for a check up. Still keeping fingers crossed 🤞
