    Thanks Nellis,

    My intention is to go beyond the hot drinks pretty quick and stick wth a few colder ones tonight but I appreciate the sentiment and look forward to reciprocating!

    By the way, you haven't seen the promised pringles anywhere, have you?!

    Cheers,

    Billy

    These gambling sites that think they'll manage to get me hooked clearly have no cognisance of my level of greed and desire to get the new house sooner rather than later.

    Cheers,

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

    Thank you all so much. I need to get off unfortunately to a) make dinner for the friends who are coming round and b) finish off my hallowe'en costume! I will get to all the most recent round of posts and conclude this thread on Monday and come up with a new signature to boot.

    So, I need an idea for my new MFW board diary title. With a view to us eventually building our own house and a multitude of wee projects to hit as milestones inbetween times, it will need to reflect the upcoming journey but maybe with a small nod to being mortgage free. Any suggestions?

    Cheers,

    Billy

  • I just had to break out of my 3 month lurking phase to say massive Congratulations Billy. I'm loving the sound of your future plans- yes any of them! I know you'll find your way to the right option. Now through your hard work the possibilities are endless. Not too bad a place to be.

    Superb

  • Hi Billy

    I came across your diary earlier today for the first time - and have spent all evening reading it from start to finish. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you both. You've inspired me to continue with my own quest. I look forward to reading your diary
