    Just got back from the hospital and it's good news. It's a benign lump which may get bigger, smaller or disappear all together but i don't care what it does just as long as it's not cancer!

    Thanks guys for the help, support, and hugs where needed. x

    Great news :j. Really pleased for you, what a relief :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Right, onto MFness...

    £1.48 from Quidco
    £3.40 cashback from Santander account

    Both added to the MF pot and now a total of £55.22 in the MF pot and £20.11 in the make £100 in November pot, taht is actual cash, not vouchers or points or anything.

    So in total that could be an extra £75 overpayment for December, along with the usual £100, could be good:) or...i could do a £150 overpayment and take the extra £25 and treat my hubby and me to a takeaway...anyone would think i had reason to celebrate:)

    Ps. I have decided to get more balance at the moment as well and have extended the term by over 5 years, so we have a bit of breathing space if we want to spend a bit, otherwise there would have been not a penny spare and the kids will be grown up by the time we pay it off whether we extend the term or not.
