    This is slighty off topic but how do you get a line through your balances i.e to show it going down? I can only see underline?

    It's the S with a line through it on the top right-ish I think. (I'm never sure if everybody sees theiur screen the same way that I do thanks to hubby and son's technical tinkering! :rolleyes: :D )

    At 1 October 2011: £226,000
    Currently: £224,499
    Aim: 85% LTV (£212,500)
    Paid £1,500

    25 does seem to be the official age for lots of benefits too which is financial. Sorry over 25s!

    No Tax Credits for those of us under 25 unless you have kiddies or a disability. Very unfair practice I think.
