Ooh...my sunday name...
Posh tonight!:pAs for the balance between "new kitchen" and "less mortgage" - that would depend on "how bad is your kitchen" and "how much are you paying for your mortgage".
If you can get mortgage free, then that would probably ease your finances.
Kitchen REALLY bad:D! 1970s I think although cooker looks 50/60s... I won't be able to get mortgage free while studying and I won't be able to move either so I really need to make the most of this place I think:D Kitchen is last big job...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
Mortgage balance: £36,210
Money making challenge £38/400

Depends on the sizing. I start at "couch potato", but sometimes require "lard arse".skint_spice wrote: »All going! Actually already had to rip some of the wall covering down last year when I got new heating in... yes, looks fab:rotfl::rotfl:

So the weekend is here again! Found myself reading stuff for college - whoops
not exactly rock n roll...
Must do a list for the weekend, DS has agreed that tomorrow is close enough to Christmas to start watching the Christmas films:santa2::xmastree::xmassign:
Any tips on making a tax disk holder stick to the windscreen or should I just give in and buy a new one?
Didn't do the Aldi thing but only spent about £20 this week and that included a pressie for one of my neighbours;)Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Depends on the kind. First, empty out the cwt of old taxdisks that have accumulated inside. Second, lick it like you mean it. Third, slap it on the windscreen and squish it around a little. Then wait.
If you do it tonight, the ice should stick it on.skint_spice wrote: »Didn't do the Aldi thing
