    No, it's a support service.......so just pretend one:D

    That's what my Mum used to do, so I know it's definitely not pretend! Hard work :) Just made me laugh, 'cause I'd been thinking you would have been a hilarious teacher then find out you are one!

    Payday today! :D

    It should be the 26th but tomorrow's not a banking day so my salary has arrived already. Mortgage should also go out on the 26th but won't go until Monday.

    It's lovely to log into online banking and see my balance being a lot bigger than usual, but I want that mortgage payment to hurry up and go out so I can update my sig. (I need Gally to find me an "impatient" smiley to go here.)

    Welcome mrs motivated :wave:

    There are other lone parents on here as well. Some aren't posting very regularly ATM, but skint_spice and nattypants are both active and well worth reading IMO.

    Oh, and, um, thanks for saying I'm inspirational. Not sure how to respond but very kind of you to say it. :)

    Have paid another £100 off FL1. It won't actually go until Monday, but I've logged into my bank and done it, so I can update it in my sig already, can't I? It takes another month off my mortgage-free and mortgage-neutral dates. :D
