    can you still use the old bridge or are all routes now pushed to the yukkie bridge
    Cake of course :j

    You can use the old bridge but it is easier to use the new (yukkie :rotfl:) bridge which isn't that new as it was built by Stephenson except for the new road bit that was put on top in the 70s after the fire. Are you using sat nav and when will the eagle be landing?

    There is one thing that has been bothering me and I think it is Hypno

    Sorry - didn't mean to bother anyone :rotfl:

    Oops I have just spluttered all over my lap top- I think I could have worded that better :o

    It is a good job that it is you writing scripts not me so what trouble I could get myself into.:rolleyes:

    But anyway thank you for inspiring me to confess:T

    It always used to bother me too, when I was only admitting to my loans and credit cards.......I knew that I also had family loans and a secured loan, but somehow they "didn't count" as far as my debt free date was concerned......:rolleyes:

    But of course, I did confess, about 18 months ago now, and am glad that I did, because it made me concentrate on paying off the family loan first - although it was interest free with no rush to repay, it was one that we felt should be repaid.....so by confessing on here, we buckled down and got them cleared......

    of course, we can't easily clear the secured loan, because we can't overpay.......so that will be a case of save up and pay off in one go.....but at the end of the day, debt is debt, so should be included in the totals especially as you know that you have to "repay" £15000 of it on your mum's death.....

    Hard though it might be to find that sort of money, it will need to be found at some point, and if I were you I would start making provision for that - set up an account and do a PAD into it or something....or use £10 a day challenge money for it.....

    then, each time it reaches £1000, pay your Mum.....it will feel very liberating to do so, and each time you do it, you are reducing your liability to find £15000 at what will be a difficult enough time as it is, without siblings hassling you for what is rightfully theirs!

    Alternatively, open a savings account in joint names with your mum, and pay a PAD or whatever into that - then your mum can access it if she needs it, and she can also see that you are making an effort to repay it, even if it is in dribs and drabs......

    You really need to avoid having to find £15k after she dies - I know that you already know this, but you will have enough to be dealing with, without having this debt on top of it......
