Hello readers! I hope you are all keeping safe and well during these strange times. The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly turned the world on its head and I feel grateful that my family and friends have so far avoided any serious impact on their health (as well as their finances!). I haven’t posted since October … More Progress Update – May 2020
Another busy month with my second job kicking off marking mock exams for accountancy students which keeps me busy at the evening and weekends and brings some much needed income in. Other events this month were an afternoon tea for a hen party, a food festival and two trips to Wales to see my husband … More Progress Update – September 2019
I’m back! I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything here since the February update but it has been a super busy 6 months! I sold my flat, completed the ASICS Windermere Marathon, got engaged, worked two jobs, organised an engagement dinner, had a hen party, went on holiday, got married on the beach, attended two … More Progress Update – August 2019
The year is really getting going now and it feels like February flew by! The sunny weather was a nice surprise although it’s back to grey and drizzly now. February was also a super busy and fun month – we went to an escape room with some friends which was really fun (and we got … More Progress Update – February 2019

Financially, January was quite a good month although that’s largely down to … More Progress Update – January 2019

Where has the year gone? I’ve been investing for a whole year and it has flown by! It’s been another busy month and I’ve not posted as often as I’d like. After my season of stress, I took my foot off the accelerator but perhaps slowed down a bit too much and now I feel … More Progress Update – November 2018
My Season of Stress is over and I’m enjoying a few well earned days off, although much of this has been used catching up with various chores – no rest for the wicked! I’m pleased with how well I’ve coped during this super busy month; I had moments where I felt overwhelmed but I feel … More Progress Update – October
I’m in the middle of my “Season of Stress” so blog posts this month will have to be short and sweet! This month my assets have increased to £399k and my liabilities have decreased to £171k leaving my net worth at £228k a small £3k increase equating to nearly 1.5%. It was quite an expensive … More Progress Update – September 2018
We’ve just got back from another and slightly longer camping trip, this time up to the highlands of Scotland which was brilliant and we got better weather! It was a bit more expensive this time and I will do a full post on camping and its associated finances. We’ve got a hotel weekend away coming … More Progress Update – August 2018
