Mortgage-Free Musings: mindful money & FIRE focus

CCW007

Big pan of lentil soup made at lunchtime, will do me for rest of week. OH had shepherds pie for dinner using remainder of roast from Sunday so that used that up.

Freezer Tetris tonight to get buttermilk and cheese in from olio collection and decide what to take out for tomorrow.

what do you use the buttermilk for as we get quite a lot that never gets requested …..

I used it to make pancakes the other day which were good, not one for baking much so need more ideas as well!

Cheese scones, fried chicken?

I'm pretty sure my Mum uses it in soda bread 🤔?

Ooh that's interesting SC, will go and investigate

Renewed my library reserver today (then I can reserve as many books as I want for free), two cats to vets for vax and meds, fish and chip supper, definitely not a NSD.

Away for weekend, minimal spends - £18.50 for dinner and two beers last night, £2 parking, £3.50 in Tesco for dinner tonight and £11 for two glasses of wine. Plus petrol (bottled out of bringing EV but would have been fine!) and a few bits of food I brought with me. Will def be booking youth hostel again and be more confident in bringing food with me next time.

Lots of walking, knees and feet ache. Sitting in lounge where there is WiFi but will retire up to my room to get into PJs shortly.

Looking forward to getting home tomorrow though!

Oh yes and £12.50 on a pack of craft beers for OH to say thanks for holding the fort whilst I'm off galavanting!

Current mortgage: £278,399

ATMN: £252,610

Savings: £25,800

Huge CC bill offset by OH's share scheme paying out so thankfully seen an increase in savings and reduction in ATMN this month which we would not have benefitted from otherwise.
