All Hail Tilly. We Are Not Worthy
Have a good day. Maybe it will be someone's birthday and there will be cakes in the kitchen

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

where do you find all these emoticons gally girl?! lol!!!
keep going Tilly, I think we all have moments like that don't we....when I think it's at least 12 years until our mortgage is cleared it makes me feel impatient but I have to remember "marathon not a sprint" - equally...I don't want to be 40 any time soon so need to stop wishing the 12 years away
Hope you have a better day today

Sending some hugs Tilly....
I can only echo the words of everyone else.... you're doing an amazing job and are definitely an inspiration to us all. I wish I had half of your focus and determination. In fact, I could do with you popping by and keeping me in line a little bit as I'm being very naughty and spending too much money at the moment.

Hope today is a better day and the next 3.5 years

Remember you are so close to the top of the mountain at nearly owning 50% then its downhill all the way
I was number crunching this morning trying to see if
Mortgage Balance minus OP's divided by Life = 8 years (have only just got BF to agree to try to be MF in 10 years)Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

Aw tilly, sorry to hear you had such a bad day - but that day is now over and a new one underway - onwards and upwards (or downwards, in the case of mortgage balances!
)
Eggy bread = gypsy toast when I was little - loved the idea - made me think of the old wooden Gypsy caravans (like in The Diddacoi(sp?)) - but probably politically incorrect nowadays!

Sorry to hear you were having a tough time but you need to keep OPing even if it is purely selfish from my part as I have started OPing silly amounts thanks to you! Hope you are a bit more positive now.

Aaagggggghhhh I draw the line at deep fried pizza, the occasional fish and chip meal is ok, but battered pizza :eek::eek::eek:
For anyone who has a penchant for these, my apologies for offending your sensibilities but I just can't get my head round deep frying a pizza
