Hello Benben

I always read but rarely post, feel like a stalker! Just want to make sure I don't miss anything so posting so you come up in my Subscriptions. I think we all go through phases of wanting to pay off or kicking back for a bit. I know what you mean about the feeling guilty and the wondering...... I am slightly obssessed with the saving at the moment. I SO want a house!

And Hovel Lady is trying to take over the world with those books (they are on my wish too!)

Hi benben, decided to join you on your journey this year, just subscribed and looking forward to the ups and downs [hopefully not many of these ]. Bought myself a sealed tin a couple of weeks to go to save to start paying off my first debt, hopefully by xmas. I am getting addicted to finding spare money and putting it in. I love it when i have a day when i have been out and i have'nt spent much money, today we had a chippy tea, it was treat day, with the change from the chippy going in my tin before my OH realised.:D

Thankyou Buffy and welcome Amber *passes round the twiglets and sticks the kettle on *

You know i was thinking about your mortgage pot too , how sad is that. And is occurred to me that the low interest rates must be really helping you at the moment. But eventually they aren't going to stay that low, so paying off as much now is probably a plan so that if the interest rates do go up by 1 or 2 percent, you are sitting pretty.

Good luck with the legal stuff. I know that is not far away now. I am not sure what to hope for. Don't want him to get off if he is guilty but on the other hand might be easier on DS. So I hope the outcome is as good as it can be.

Thankyou Chev My mortgage is on a fixed rate at the moment and is for another 3 years, by which point I hope to be mortgage free, so ideally it wont affect me. Well, it will because I'll probably get my longed for house and start all over again, but it will be a choice rather than forced to pay higher interest rates

With regards to the muppet ex, I still have no idea what will happen or what I think will be for the best :cool: Ideally I just want ds to be happy and settled, whatever that requires
