Thanks @beanielou, @Brie, @Skint_yet_Again 😊
I have been adulting:
Meter readings done!
Checked mortgage balance and updated signature. (No major changes or milestones …) Wish I knew how to calculate the minimum monthly payment - I’m going to have to ring up and ask again to see if it has decreased at all versus our set monthly amount and so increased our default OP …
Moved £50 of £91.05 spare in the joint current account into the joint house EF account. Still only £398 though …
Emptied fausty veg peelings bucket into compost heap and gave it a rinse - the rinsing water went over one set of sweet peas as a super dilute feed.
Pulled some bindweed that was having the temerity to appear around the sweet peas …The N@tionwide bonus comes to us both, through our joint account, so one part of it will become an OP and the other will pay for an anniversary dinner for us in my favourite restaurant ❤️😊

I'd have to check the back and sides of the sofa for £2 to round up the EF total 😁
