    One further suggestion; "Tilly's Tales of 309,000 Tiny Tidies"

    Mine's would be; "Naughty Natty's Nuggets of Non Over Paying"

    And GG's would be; "Oops I Did It Again - My Many (many) Mortgages"

    I would read your blog tills, although would insist on photographs also :D

    Aw, thanks Natty, I've never been a regular poster but these days seem to be more of a lurker than a poster :o Mind you, I've on a few days holidays so managed to do a few updates to my own diary today as well as a couple of posts on others

    I'm five years into this now so just slogging away at it.

    Just busy pondering opening another S&S ISA (not used that element of this years allowance yet) and also wondering whether to transfer all my share dealing stuff from EquIniti to [EMAIL="H@lifax"]H@lifax[/EMAIL] (I already have a shared dealing account with the latter)

    Do any of you knowledgeable ladies (flatter, flatter :p) venture into S&S ISA's?

    While I'm on the topic, what about SIPP's do any of you have them?

    From memory, AJ Money has/had a very good return on her S&S ISA. Also Edinburgher is a whizz on all things financial ... saying that, I imagine both tilly and GG will have good advice.

    (Unfortunately my financial capabilities are limited to thinking I've done well if I still have some coins to jangle by the end of the month :o)

    It's my payday tomorrow.
    Bank balance 0
    Purse 1p (did have £2 but nipped out to get milk as mine had gone off :eek: and the local paper.
    So, not enough to jangle :o.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
