    Many happy paydays _party__party__party_
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Another fight :j:j..
    I am starting a battle against another financial institution to get a redress on loan taken alongside the mortgage on the old house up North.. I anticipate lots of waiting around, frustration and strongly worded letter and involvement from the Financial Ombudsman.. Yeah :j:j

  • You have been in training for this fight for a while! Go for it.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

  • It is definitely good for karma ... I'm on a long term declutter, and as the useless stuff goes, I'm appreciating more and more what I do have - and uncovering useful things that had been hidden away.
    Also, my income has dropped this year and this is a way that I can still give to charity.
    British Heart Foundation is one of my favourites, since they do so much for research.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
