    Glad the simple things made you feel a little better. May the weekend be full of sunshine and gardening and cat love

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Great news on the car, and the coach not being faffed.

    No you don't need any let alone all of the £400 worth of clothes. Make a list of things you would like when it genuinely occurs to you, like a (for example, things I can think of for me) vest top with wider shoulders or lower underarms, trainers with a more supportive sole, a jumper in a particular shade that is comfy around the neck. Write them on a notepad in a drawer in your bedroom or on an email you save to drafts.

    You can have the lovely things, but when it's a treat or a celebration. Don't spend daft money trying to make yourself feel better, because you won't feel better and you'll be poorer.

    Maybe this weekend if you feel like it, make a rough list of all the things that are going against your energy and either do something about them or make a choice to sack them off
