Don't panic I didn't go crazy. I needed a couple of things for our vacation. I called in at Northern Reflections and picked up two t-shirts. The burgundy one was $7.99 and the yellow one was $5.99, so with 13% tax added on that came to $15.80.
We went to Herb n Sage in Barrie for lunch and had a breakfast for lunch. Dh had the same except he has sausage. It is so good and only $6.99 each. If you are in Barrie at all this is well worth the visit. The bread is organic, the jam home made, and they fry their potatoes with a mix of herbs including rosemary that makes all the difference.

That is such exciting news - congratulations, Gill. So thrilling - love all of your new clothes and that breakfast looks scrumptious.
I know what we did when we paid ours off: we breathed a huge sigh of relief and were thrilled that we hadnt fallen for the banking hype and took out an Irish loan for a gazzillion euros: when I was diagnosed, I breathed an even bigger sigh of relief because I knew the family would be ok. Congratulations sweetie: it pays to be sensible and work out what you need rather than what you want which is what few ever learn to do! xxxxxxx Enjoy your new mortgage free life!
Oh I love your spending-still savvy. No post mortgage madness!!!
I am so happy for you both.

love the picture! also great bargains. i went to a thrift store yesterday, Value Village, and the used cloths were the same price of your new clothes. i have noticed thrift store prices are insane lately. also good work on the lunch, hubby and my son went to supper yesterday, spent 45 dollars on the two of them! not a high end place either. Your bargains inpire me !
Gill you are one special lady. I think when we get our home paid off I won't need new clothes I will be run around the streets nude doing a little dance!!! Once again congrats!!!!
It's the best when, after paying your mortgage, you have some money left to splurge and treat yourself :)
Funny that you had bacon and your husband had sausage...that is always the way when we have breakfast out. It is not that I don't like sausage...so don't know why it is always that way.
You got a great deal on the clothes.
It's a great feeling. Isn't it ?
