June is a hugely busy month for me so I'm taking a few minutes today to write down the things I want to achieve because I have a feeling if I don't have something down in writing, I'll be sat here in a month's time having achieved nothing I needed to do!Financial IntentionsAs we're finally debt free, I want to be good and start overpaying our mortgage by as much as we can.
