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

    Wow - brilliant! Think i'd be tempted to stooze that last little bit!

    Any more viewer feedback?

    I didn't do a dance around the house, it made me feel a bit sick must be thought of "spending" money even though I still have enough money still left in the ISA for a emergency fund

    But on Wednesday when I looked at the balance on-line I did do a happy dance

    BF does have a Mr T credit card with 0% for 12 months wonder if will be persuaded to "borrow" me some more money :)

    No feedback from the viewing BF had last week, they have asked lots of questions but I just want them to give us a load of money in exchange for a house

    I need a new house with a big mortgage otherwise I'll have to leave in a few months :(

    Well done Radish! :D And if you don;t move and become MF shortly you don;t have to leave - you can stay and cheer us all on whilst saving madly for when you do move (and thereby having a smaller mtge when you do!) :D

  • Oooo I would have done a little dance too! (only a little one mind, wouldnt want to exhaust myself! :rotfl:)

    Good idea to see if BF can lend you some money - or just see how much you can cut down/OP if its a shortish timeframe!

    Plus technically I have no mortgage (and no house....;)) but am still here, rambling away to my *ahem* adoring public , you can do the same!! :rotfl:

    Suggested to BF about using his (our - this bit I have made up) credit card to stooze my mortgage and he just laughed (a lot) so I'm taking that as he is a big meany

    After analysing numerous spreadshheets, think I have the following

    £65 slummy paid into bank on Friday
    £108 car tax refund
    £76 "free" council tax month
    £100 overtime
    £5 reward

    So £354 could be winging its way over as an OP which would take it under £2K (can you hear the squeals)

    Just slightly paranoid that I have forgotten something but have taken off credit card bill, cash for wedding next month

    Sad alert
