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 effortMortgage Balance = £0

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 today1 -
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!I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £201 -

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
