    Oh no - Minstrels every time!

    Jo I hope you don't mind me asking but does your signature include mortgage debt?


    Oh come on - just to prove my point - PM me your home address and I'll send you a pack of Galaxy Counters. It's a different league altogether.
    There's a quotation from Pulp Fiction coming to mind but not quite there - something around foot massages and not the same ball park but I can't quite remember it, I must watch the video over the weekend then I''ll quote you on Monday but essentially, Minstrels are division 1 whereas Galaxy Counters are premier league plus

    Yes £265K of my debt is mortgage and the rest is credit card/zopa etc.
    I'm snowballing and according to my snowball I will be debt free in October 2027 which is when I will be 64! Fortunately, under the ConDem (abolition of retirement age) regime I don't have to retire at 65 but can carry on working forever, I had my son at 39 and twins at 43 so if I carry on working until I'm around 75 I will just about be able to finance them through college.

    I am currently paying £2300 toward my debt monthly and the actual debt is reducing by £500 per month at present, so that's £1800 per month interest - what can I say, at least it's going down.............

    I've just checked my signature, is it really 2011?

    Last time I looked it was 2003!

  • Another one for me so that's 7/14 please Shaggy and loooking forward to having the heart flag.

    Miss P, I'm glad you've realised none of us mind you venting on here. And it has been an unusually tough week for you so things should get better. I'm glad you decided to stay.

    Tonight was a bit of a wavering one, I felt so tired and was in another pub early on but sparkling water did the trick.

    Sleep well everyone
