    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • You must not have the lurgy that i have as i have not been able to declutter any chocolate or booze and i am gutted. :rotfl:DH has done a galliant job on my behalf, and i will have some left for January.

    Well done on all that painting. We'll have some of that to do too when we get home.

    I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like brilliant news on the decorating, how many months are you now? I am cheating and starting back at 80 in January.

    Gally seriously where do they insert your batteries??

    They weren't Duracell ones and have run out of energy :(.

    Couldn't paint the doors. But did manage to find the energy to buy 2 trackie bottoms. T shirt. Sweat top. Leggings. New hoover. Electric sander. Electric blanket. Sounds just like the Generation Game :rotfl:

    Ooooohhhh, that reminds me....... "trots off to switch new leccy blanket on".

    Have just done final tot up for year. The net balance on mortgage no. 1 on 4th Jan will be:
    :j:j:j£19,546.15:j:j:j

    Yay, a number starting with 1 :). With the 2 BTL's it's £121,226.67. Debt has dropped by £18,109, not bad considering we spent over 7k on a kitchen :o. Oh, plus I've ended up an extra 27k in debt from remortgaging mum's house to give DD a deposit. But apart from that it's all good :rotfl:.

    Daily interest on all mortgages (bar mum's) has dropped from £6.24 a day to £5.59 a day :T.

    Still hoping to clear our mortgage by end of August (my 'significant' birthday :o). Just need to stop the 'Generation Game' spending :rotfl:. And if we manage that and stay on track it will all be gone (bar mum's :o) in the next 5 years. Hopefully will have paid a good whack off mum's by then & save up & retire at 60. All being well :rotfl:.

    Enough ramblings, off to a nice warm bed :)
