    Nice to hear you have knocked a couple years off one loan that's fab. How are things going with you at the moment?

    Hello SH - busy whizzing around the country, but loving it. DS has decided to go back to college for a year and do part time work, so that's him sorted.

    you've reminded me that I need to play with the mortgage calculator.

    Decided to start doing the lottery again. Only £1 a week, and what have I got to lose? Except £1 a week.
    Did the first payment on debit card, and accidentally pressed £6 instead of £5, so bought a scratch card. I won £2!
    So I decided to put the £2 on euromillions (I've never done it before) - I won £3.20!
