Morning all! :j

Came back home last night to a half destroyed bathroom :eek: The main cupboards units and the sink had disappeared, as well as most of the tiles, and replaced by brand new shiny tiles .. Hopefully it will be all done & dusted by the weekend... had acupuncture last night, it felt great and well relaxing..The next IVF go should start middle of May, fingers crossed tightly it will work this time around!

We finished the table tennis season last week with a 6-4 win.. I have been promoted to the Division above too!:rotfl:

Cheers

Hi there, I'm new to this forum but it's interesting reading.
I used to be married to a banker (no, really he was a banker!) so he handled all the financial stuff which frankly I found boring and confusing so I was happy to let him do it. Trouble was we got divorced which meant I lost the cheap mortgage (darn!) and had to get my head round all the boring and confusing financial stuff.
Funny how now I actually quite like it. I have been overpaying my mortgage for around 2.5 years now and have increased the OP from £300 p/m to now £600 as I've got promoted and had a couple of salary hikes as a result. Never thought I'd be that sensible! So now I have knocked off around 3 years from my mortage term and at this rate should pay it off in 7 years 11 months. I have one reasonably small credit card (on 0% interest) left to pay off (which I should do in around 6 months max) and then I can look at increasing the overpayments again.
A tip on how to save some additional money: when my home and contents insurance was due for renewal, my lender (the Halifax) told me it was increasing (by not an insignificant amount) so I told them I was going to move it away from them. During that phone call, the member of staff 'went to check if there was something they could do' and came back with a quote even cheaper than I was then paying. This has happened 2 years in a row so I'm paying less than 2 years ago. That was just easy. Same thing happened with my AA membership. Oh, and my Sky TV subscription. Seems that with some organisations, if you threaten to take business away, they do you a pretty good deal.
Anyway, look forward to reading more interesting news from other members.

Ahoy Fellow MSEeer,

I'm not new to this forum and nothing I have to say proves of interest to anyone or their dog. My main passion is flower arranging but I do maintain a keen interest in the goings on of all things banking (including failed marriages - yes really!). Funny thing happened the other day. I was in the midst of my latest arrangement (violets and posies (- what the hell are posies!? - ed.) when the phone rang and a lovely man from the First National Bank of Nigeria popped me an email. In exchange for me sending him a paltry £100, he has sent me a cheque for £100 million trillion pounds. THIS IS NOT A SCAM - it is real and so easy - my £100 left my account in less than 30 seconds! Anyway - you should contact me for a session in stating the bloody obvious and you too, with my tips on how to contact other such generous African philanthropists, can be richer than you ever thought possible...

Anyway, I look forward to my cheque arriving...
