Glad you had a good trip but ouch at the train costs!
You're doing really well with ebay sales. I desperately need to declutter and ebay but not sure I have anything half decent left to sell!!Nov 2025 - part 1 - £13,878 part 2 - £20,953 Total - £34,832 24 months to go!0 -
I dont envy your journey with the children. I went to France on my own by plane then train with 4 little ones in tow and a gigantic suitcase and I felt like crying. It was so hard. Shame about that train ticket, Id be sick as a dog at that price. Sounds like you had a good break though.
Fab Op's. Well done on that fantastic reduction on your mortgage figure! :TI can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -
Morning all. Bit quiet on all fronts here due to some not nice news
However, have just OP'd £35 from ebay sales, a small amount of cashback and £10 repaid of a 'bad debt'. Gradually going in the right direction - looking forward to receiving my mtge stmt (not until about Feb) to see it all in black and white.

Sorry life is being a rollercoaster again. Sounds like a lovely break before hand in Edinburgh. Must have been nice to spend time as a family.0

Hi Greent,
Just popped by to say hello. Sorry about the bad news. Speaking from experience however, sometimes it can have a silver lining - even if you can't immediately see it.
Fantastic overpayments so far, btw...
