    Good grief! Benben, I think your aim of June 2019 is going to be, what shall I call it, under-optimistic? You've lopped four and a half years off it, and you've been doing it, how long? Not very! You've done just over 80% of your planned overpayments this year, and the year itself is only about 62% of the way through (tho thats a scary thing in itself). So you're certainly ahead of target, and tho you're certainly busy, you don't deprive yourself, so it seems like you could continue to achieve this rate, dont you think?

    Thankyou KC :D:D I must admit it does all seem to be going well at the moment, but my fixed rate does run out in June so payments will probably increase then :rolleyes: and who knows what else could come along :o but while I can keep hammering it I will ;):D

    Thats *so* sensible. :D

    Off now to have lunch and prepare for clients - afternoon and evening, this is my dose of mse for the day. At least I cleaned *some* of the bathroom and toilet in between posting! Have a good rest-of-the-day.

    Jusy got back from my mystery shops and I'm knackered :o:o Four of them were the same chain of bookies so got a bit boring and its so obvious who I am in there as its full of blokes.

    In the last one, an old guy came up and asked me how much I charge ... I said pardon as I assumed he was on about betting stuff :o and he asked how much I charge for sex, "thats the only sort of women that come in here" :eek: :eek: :eek: I not so politely told him where to go ;) ... must be my new hairdo making me look dead classy obviously :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Anyway, off to submit some results before Ipick up little 'un from holiday club :D
