Our holiday is all now all paid for. I made the last payment yesterday. The only costs now will be anything we spend when we are there and we don’t usually spend much at all. So now I can get back to paying every spare cent off the mortgage.

I made an extra mortgage payment of $800 yesterday with a new mortgage balance of $152,264. Feels good to be back on track with extra payments.

Made a big batch of cauliflower rice which tasted fantastic! Just cauliflower chopped finely with onion, bacon, leftover lamb, carrots, peas and egg cooked in a little olive oil. DD took this lovely photo of it for me – she’s much better at food photos than me.

Today I’m still working on decluttering in the lounge room. I’ve sorted a couple of boxes already this morning. I still have several cupboards to go that are filled with old games, CD’s and old newspapers/ family papers. My plan is to fill some more bags for Vinnies over the coming week from the lounge and bedroom and do a trip to the op shop next weekend.
