Cherry takes the reins

Oddly enough, I can't remember what one part came from! The largest part is from buying the house, which was a lot of years ago now. We also added to the mortgage to have work done on the house a few years ago. Curiously, a friend has a big old house which had at one point been divided into smaller properties and she had to buy one part outright and get a mortgage for another part.

I wonder if the bank will let me pay under different rates? We don't owe enough to be eligible for Plan A, which was an offset mortgage, so this can be Plan B.

Apparently we don't owe enough... which is a nice problem to have

I didn't actually personally spend anything today but I aided and abetted DH in getting various things to wallpaper the lounge, I gave him the rest of the housekeeping money to go to the chippie for both of us and I paid off what I hope is the remainder of the money owed to date for work on Mum's house. That's a lot of money going out in various directions though not directly through my hands.

Nothing else to report apart from picking up a shift at work... there are plenty going but mostly when I'm already working so I may need to pace myself as work will be rather active if we can't fill the rota. I felt so much better today that I did some moving & handling (carefully) but while I don't think I've done damage, my back is telling me I've done it. So at least I know I'm not pretending.

Off for a nice hot bath and see if that does the trick.
