hi angelaf - yes, coming to the ski slope - never been there before......I am staying in a travelinn or travelodge about a mile away......I am planning my journey according to how many times I need to stop for coffee - its a bloomin long way to go just for 2 runs each down a flippin slope :rolleyes:
There is only one room available for the cheap ski hol - friend and I have been bothering the poor woman on the booking desk by keeping ringing to say "is it still available"
We are already excited about going, and we haven't even booked it yet! I hope fate is in our favour and that the room is still available when we find out that we can go........

i was initially very sad to see your signature change as i REALLY enjoy seeing your figures come down and was looking forward to you going sub £20,000, but it is YOUR signature...anyway, will have to look forward to you getting down to £175,000 initially and then low enough for you to go and buy your dream house...well done...:j0

I'm still running the original snowball, so I can update you as it gets to appropriate original milestones!
I just need to focus on the big picture - had I not switched to the repayment mortgage, and kept the extra money towards the other debt, the "old" sig would work fine, but with the larger sums being thrown at the mortgage, it makes more sense to me to show the whole thing and watch the bigger numbers coming down.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Sorry for yet another bingo question... I won £10 on BB and clicked to withdraw and it looked like it was going through ok but are you telling me I should have stuck another tenner in first?

Yes, add £10 and withdraw £20 - it might say you need to wait 24hours, but that's ok, you can withdraw it tomorrow and still use your free £5 to play after you have withdrawn the real cash!
well done on the win - they are not that great at saying "minimum withdrawal" but once you have sussed it, it is fine! honest!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.
