Looking forward to being inspired at the end of next week as I have just acquired 2 free tickets to the Ideal Home Exhibition in Glasgow :money:

Right.. siggy strip updated..
Bank loan has a massive early payment fee.. about £4000!! :eek: so I can't pay that off too soon.. though I can hammer it down to very very little so the monthly payments are reduced massively.. which is my master plan.. I want it down from £11678.66 which it is today to about £1000.. the payments per month should be very very small then and the interest uninteresting! If I can save £4000 in 4 months I can get this evil thing paid in 18 months... I'd say 6 months but I have so much on my Toots list I need to sort the house it is not a number 1 priority.. but it is 12.6% or thereabout so needs dealing with... Then the mortgage has to be prioritised... I shall go update my Toots list...LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Evening all
Good luck wishes to everyone caught up in exam season! It seems ages since DS1 was sitting his a year ago.
Another lesson visit decluttered with a satisfactory result :T, but we are due to have visitors in later in the week. :eek:
So I'll be even more busy tonight, trying to get lots of jobs ticked off. Flying will be limited to food, DW and WM/TD only.
Take care, everyone. x0 -

Aw thanks toots. Not particularly lol. I'm sneezing like mad now. It's so frustrating! Nan is going to stay with Mum for the next 2 weeks. Dad still cant drive and Mum has never been able to, so they need me to do chauffeur duties and babysit Nan. I really cant pass my horrid germs on.Dustykitten wrote: »good luck to everyone starting exams :T
Good luck our flybabies! Are the English exams usually this early? I always thought they were quite a while after the Scottish exams started.

Yes they start now with a few GCSEs (your standards) and lots of AS and A level modules. Our main bulk of GCSEs are always the week after half term in early June and then exams carry on until about 24th June.
I have done DS3's room and a few other bits. DH is home early so he can do DS3's bedtime I am off to:
S&S shower room
Water garden
Wash up
Set WM
Then some ironing with the tv and soak my trotters.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
LW and all the others who commented on the other thread - thanks for your lovely comments about DD1's vid and her mates vid for ME awareness week. She was delighted that so many flyladies had commented!
Very little flying due to still feeling extremely tired and having a nervous and stressed 17 yearold around.
Her AS exams begin tomorrow and she has 4 in 4 days - not fun!
So fingers and toes are well and truely crossed here - if i make it to Friday in 1 piece it will be a miracle!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
