Edinburgher gets cracking!

As is often the case, the solution to the problem is cheap and Chinese.

Probably worth checking?

Also, I'm not sure how you've managed to break 3 hydrometers, I'm clumsy as heck and have had the same one for several years! :eek:

Good 5 mile run, 799 calories gone that will make me enjoy my dinner all the more. Taking my own advice and using up crap from the cupboard/freezer. Today's dinner is parsnip soup and duck with okra and oyster sauce :rotfl:

Okra is EVIL. Any food with that much slime it must be bad for you :eek::eek::eek:

Um, what am I going to do exactly? Check the temp? To see it's in the yeast's range? Should I bung it up again to 23 degrees?

Ocra (or lady fingers' as it is otherwise known) is highly prized by Asian cooks. I think we are bad at cooking it in the West. I know someone who is from an Indian background who cooks it all the time. I have yet to see ectoplasm coming from the kitchen. With or without seeds.

I think that happens when it is overcooked. Its actually really nice - many years ago - I shared a house with an Indian girl and hers was yummmy but such deliciousness is rarely found in any Indian Restuarant I've been to hence my assumption it goes slimy when overcooked

With your fertility record at the moment they're probably eggs and now growing inside you.......

Hi and Hello

Need some info and you and your friends seem the best to ask.

Very new and interested in this overpayment thing. I read about it and could not wait to reduce my term time.

My current 2yr fixed rate is finishing end March then reverting to current rate (which is actually Less than my current).

I just made my first overpayment on Saturday but was very disappointed when it did not reach my account until Tuesday, can anyone explain, and I am allowed to overpay 10% without penalties, which figure do you take and from when to work out the 10%, and (last one, honest) thinking of switching as I thought it was a mortgage year and not a calender year for overpayment, so I can make a further payment.

Any advise, help and comments would be most welcome.

Yes - check heater is working as expected, put heat up/down as needed (based on the recommended fermentation temp for the wine kit).

OH NO! :eek:

Any advise, help and comments would be most welcome.

I'm not qualified to advise, but I can offer thoughts

• Only switch if you can get better than the SVR
• As far as I'm aware, the amount you can overpay as a fixed % is based on the balance at the start of the mortgage year (so £100k and you could OP £10k)
• Saturday-Tuesday is fine, never do anything on a non-working day when you want it to happen fast!
• I think OPs are allowed during 'mortgage year'. You can make 10% in March and then in April etc.

If you need more, why not start a new thread in the Mortgages board? :T
