yeh i read it but i meant to put you wanted benifits... not want. missed the ed.If you read my post then you would see that i am walking straight in to another job:rotfl: It is just less money than i am getting at the moment.
I cannot touch my mortgage as i am tied in for another 2 years, and it will be approx £2500 to get out:rolleyes:
As for the £2500 to get out - what a sham imo. can you pay extra but not the full amount? so they only have like £5 mortgage left?Never do things tomorow when you can do them today.0 -
