Hi Stedwell, nice to see you posting - season's greetings to you and yours. Good going on the mortgage reduction as well :j.

Hello to you too Teapot!:hello:
Sorry to read about your sad news. That must have been very hard especially at Christmas time.
Hope you enjoy the new year celebrations. I am over a friend's house this evening but will probably need a pm nap to make it into the wee hours!
Will also spend the evening trying to track my teenage daughter as she visits various parties!
Off to raid the Christmas left overs now for lunch as trying not to spend on food shopping!0 -
Thanks Stedwell, hope you have a good New Year - not sure I'll make it to midnight without a snooze either. What happened to the me that could stay up all night and then go to work the next day
??
Have you GPS chipped your daughter? :rotfl:Makes it much easier to keep track of 'em
Enjoy the leftovers, we're still munching through Christmas food too. Got half a Pannettone [sp?] left so if its gone a bit stale will make a trifle with it for tomorrow. Yum0 -
Thought I would update my thread. I haven't posted for a long time but always check daily and read posts. We now have 23,000 left and getting closer to the finishing post. I'm hoping that it won't be long before our savings balance with our mortgage and then it will be time to decide whether to pay a lump sum to finish it off. Hope to be mf by Christmas but am finding that I really want to start spending and having fun before we are there. Did anybody else feel like this once the end was in sight? Feel I need a little support to stay on track for the last few months. Thank you to all the regular posters who have kept me on motivated so far. Always feel a little guilty that I read and run.......:o0
