Evening all! :j
Positive day today.. All went ok at work - weird for a Monday, but its been productive.. Good news from OH's hospital test, and finally things are mproving, and acupuncture is having the much desired effect.. Next IVF go will probably be in May..
Good trip at B&Q yesterday.. Got everything we wanted, saved £15 on the lot with the discount voucher, and will also get 4% cashback through in store cashback too!!
Just had homemade chilli, yummyand OH's portion is ready for when she gets home later on.. Am off to a table tennis meeting in a minute..
Had a call from recruitment agency and there is an interview looming, but I don't have much details as yet..All I know is that the salary on offer is more than what I am on now!! :rotfl:
Cheers

The faster the mortgage goes, the better.. I can't wait, it would be such a weight lifted off my shoulders!

Afternoon all!
I think I have been playing with the overpayment calculator a bit too much..:p
According to my calculations, if we were to throw every single penny to the mortgage, we would pay it off completely on Monday 5th October 2015!!!
Not sure OH would agree, and so do i, as we really want to start a family asap, and childcare costs/one of us not working (aka ME) would push that date back a fair bit..
Oh well, it's nice to dream, but it's better to make your dreams come true..;)
On a different note, I have been called by another agency, for a potential job.. That job would mean a £400 net increase in monthly wage, which would help the above considerably :T... Should know in the next 48 hours when I am due there for interview...
Cheers

Good luck with the IVF (bloomin awful thing to go through)
My best friend has had it four times (one two year old - another due August) so it can and does work:D:D:D
I feel a guru on all things IVF as seriously I live in the land of IVF, every second person at our local toddler/baby groups has had it, they all compare notes on fresh/frozen cycles - it's like another language.OPs so far £42,139

Eating is overrated!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D... only kidding...
We definitely need to put some stricter OP in place, as ours are all over the place...Once (or more like "if") I get that job, them we can juggle once again with the finances.. I would really like to release some of the funds from the savings (miserable rate :mad:) and apply them to the mortgage...
Off to acupuncture in a minute, then chill at home watching the footy..

If I could I would rather take a pill that eat each day (never been a lover of food).
Fingers cross for Real tonight :rotfl:playing footy tonight so I will only catch the second half.
If they have any sense it will be yours!

It would be a massive pay rise, an easier & cheaper commute too!!
Please start lighting all your candles & keep your fingers crossed for me....
