Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

All this talk of wee and water!! I'll have to run to the loo!!!!!!!!!!!
You still own your house outright aliasojo - these things would have happened even if you still had a mortgage - but you haven't!!
Glad Mr Alias is OK, perhaps that was the last thing, hope so!

That's true h_q.....I always kinda feel that fate gets tempted though and for every positive there's usually a negative......just to keep things in balance. :rolleyes:



This month is going reeeaalllyy slowly for some reason. We're expecting a fairly good wage at the end of the month due to extra work OH did.....but it seems to be forever until month end arrives.

Might need a pep talk.

I've just donated something to a local charity place that I probably could have sold for between £70/£100. It was nearly new but I had put one ad in the local town we live in and there was no interest.

I don't know why I feel so unsettled about it. Part of me thinks I should have made much more of an effort to sell it, given that we still have stuff to pay off........but another part of me thinks that it was a very large item I had no space for (in fact it rendered my diningroom useless and we've been eating off our knees in the livingroom) and since it's been getting us down to be so cluttered, it was best just to get rid...quickly. At least we would have our much needed space back and someone else would benefit from the item.

So why am I pacing and wondering if I've done the right thing? Charity van is coming in a couple of hours to pick the item up so it's too late now anyway to change my mind.

I don't grudge the charity at all....I often give stuff to them...I just wonder if I should have done more for this charity first. We've spent ages watching the last penny and making a point of feeding Herman....and now I go and give away around £100.

Virtually kick my backside please. (Either for doing the wrong thing or for feeling this way about it.)

Well heres a virtual kick - I don't think you actually did the wrong thing, but you are in the mind set at the moment that you should of got something for it.
If you really are that unsettled about it they will not hate you for changing your mind. I'm sure you could tell them that you'd found a home for it and sorry to have let you down etc.
Or has it gone now?

On a different note have now bumped my overpayment for May up to over £400, desperately hoping now I can make it to £500 -never happy - lol!!!!!!!!!!

aliasojo

Yip...gone, charity van picked it up.

Since this afternoon things have got steadily worse. Every warning light on OH's car came on including the one that says...STOP!!!! He took it into the garage and it's the ABS computer that's gone. It's going to cost £1058 to fix.

We can't afford to spend that. The car is old and is probably only worth around £1500 now.

There's no point in even making the other chap cough up to repair the damage he did when he bumped into OH.

See.......Fate has stepped in now. Smug git = 'all manner of nasties will befall you now' git.

It's life's balance.

I'm off to wallow in self pity for an hour or so. See you all later.

Btw h_q....you're doing well! Send some of your good luck/fortune this way.

I think some good will come your way soon. Your donation to the charity shop was a good one and you've inspired so many of us on the boards. :A

aliasojo

Thanks Boswell. I'm keeping my head down for the time being....just in case.

Your good Karma hasn't reached here yet h_q..........we need a dry hour or so to break up concrete so we can concrete in a new fence post. It's been piddling down yesterday and today's forecast is for more of the same. The hired jack hammer has to go back first thing tomorrow. Not very moneysaving if we have to hand it back unused. :rolleyes: Concentrate harder! :rotfl:
:beer:

halloweenqueen_2

It never rains but it pours!! Sorry - did you get your fence post in?
I won £100 on the thunderball last night! So I'm concentrating very hard on sending you positive thoughts!
Are you sure the banks haven't heard of you and herman and are sabotaging you for making us all pay less interest to them?
