Didn't get home til after 9.30 last night as we had the OFSTED call. When I did get home, no heating or hot water. Boiler flashing funny code. OFSTED in today and tomorrow and been up since silly o'clock boiling water so I can wash! Why today?:mad:

Back on the wagon......after a long absence.
Shocked to see that the last time I logged in was 2012 but since then have not been MFWing at all - just doing work on the house (which still isn't finished......).
But - today we set up a£400 month overpayment on our mortgage account and we are making a start!
I will become obsessive again - will update sig when the ipad is recharged!
Lovely to see you all again!

Thanks ATT. It has taken a while but I have a new determination.
We still have a way to go but we now have a fab new kitchen extension and new french doors and a very mse log-burner - we have not had to buy any wood all winter as it has all been acquired from various sources.
The big change is that I have now managed to persuade Mr C to start to op on the mortgage - he is not a natural money-saver but I think he will get hooked! Our first op will be on May 1st but it's set up as £400/month initially. Once we have paid for our not-very-mse holiday it might be able to go up a bit too.
I am on a mission.

Hello Poppy nice to see you, and you have given me a much needed kick up the backside about my mortgage, I will join you and have scheduled an o/p of £500 from 1 May.0
