    Yes, the snow is very yukky - it has snowed quite heavily on and off all day.

    don't forget to tell OH to sort out his life insurance too - that way if anything happened to him he could still leave money for the kids maintenance!

    Fab news on the coat - I've had to stop all MS activity and typically, I'm now getting at least 3 notifications a day of new jobs in the area.

    I've had a drought of M/S recently, so am glad that a few bits have started to come through.

    All MSE-sourced money is going into try and build up some emergency savings, so every £5 here and there helps, especially if I get a free sandwich or coffee into the bargain :D

    Well done on the M/S hypno.
    Have been lurking and reading the mortgage stuff and had nothing to add to what L&S said. It just seems a bit mad to me the way they are doing it, but at least you have a plan.



    What's this snow stuff everyones talking about. We have glorious blue sky and I needed the sun visor down on the car!
