    The entire internet gets told exectly how much money I have at least once a week, so I don't think I can complain about you asking! According to online banking, I have £45,094.91 outstanding.

    Due to the obscene cost of property in Edinburgh, my parents lent me half the cost of my flat (repayable when they die as they have now realised I won't be running my company by the age of 40!) and I took out a mortgage for £50,000 (I think, might have been £54,000) This has left me in a pretty good postition compared to most people my age and older, and means that when rates go rocketing hopefully it won't ruin me!

    Your mortgage is much the same as mine.
    Bet you your flat is worth more than my house!

  • Hi Fresian

    Huge congrats on your mortgage overpayment! :D

    Also sorry for you thread hijack :o but am sure beanielou posted on here about a soap and glory scrunchie? beanielou if you want to PM me your address I will happily pop one of these in the post to you - I have some e-bay items to post this week anyways so it is no bother and I got 1 in my big box and 1 in a gift set I received for xmas and I don't really use them so am more than happy to post one out to you if you'd like it. No problem if not :)

    Fresian, i am so sorry I didn't get to meet up with you and if you know when you'll be in my neck of the woods again just let me know and am sure we can arrange a meet up.

    Hope all is good in Fresian Towers this weekend.

  • Wow, just think there are some people (and I am sure they wont mind me saying this) who came to this site owing a lot more than what is outstanding on your mortgage, and paid it off within a few short years.

    (disclaimer - I am not, and never will be, one of them!).

    But my mortgage is less than £80K, so I'm quite proud of that

    (PS, all I spent this weekend was £12 on make-up. I'm toning my look down now I'm in my mid-thirties. Transvestite hooker chic no more!)

    PAD/Spends - £177
    Entertainment - £81.54
    Groceries - £156.11
    ISA Savings - £632.06
    VSP - £109.84

    My mortgage payment has gone through as well, meaning that it's now under £45,000 :D

    We're still in The North but returning home later on today. Looks like a form of expense for me is figuring out why my laptop battery charger is dead (along with the sodding battery which hasn't worked for months) A little googling on my dad's computer to see how much this will cost me is in plan I think. I don't really want to find that it's economically more viable to ditch the laptop altogether and buy a new one :eek: It's still too new...

    Hope everyone is having a lovely morning :D
