    Glad to read you are improving albeit slowly
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Morning, I've escaped to the sun for a few days and it's glorious. Bit of a heatwave which necessitated a kip mid afternoon yesterday.

    All accounts have been tidied and in total £2.11 Tilly Tidied to MOS. Over £50 OPd to mortgage from TCB and another £80 will be OPd by Friday. £90 OP next Monday. :T

    This month we break the £100k barrier. I can't believe it.

    Right, I've had two coffees in the garden, I think I'd better crack on and make some breakfast. I'm not able bodied he, so it could be a comedy show.

    Best wishes, Tilly x x x

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

  • It was 47 degrees in Seville today :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Great day sightseeing, a colleague driving, then back to Portugal for delicious dinner.

    Home now and off to bed x x x

    'Normal' temperatures restored today :j.

    I'm going to get the padron this morning and I think I'm in for a shock.......... neighbours were telling me when they went a massive ream of unpaid bills appeared which had to be settled. I'm now expecting the same - turns out there should be 3 amounts coming out of our bank accounts (e.g. rubbish collection billed separately), I've only ever had 1, as had they. Never had any reminders and don't understand why they set up DD's for 1 and not all. Wish me luck :eek:.

    In happier news, granite worktops being fitted this afternoon. I'm going for the minimalist look on top (till the stuff arrives from the UK :D)....... may take a piccie and post it.
