    :hello:


    Nope :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Can't believe I haven't posted since August

    So far since last post
    Became another year older :(

    Have a finished kitchen & utility (only took 4 months as the kitchen fitter was a useless, lazy prat so had to throw him of site and then involve all sorts of people to get the job done)

    Had a fab relaxing holiday

    Paid off the kitchen finance that we took out (interest paid on loan was a lot less than discount received so happy bunny)

    Managed a grand total of 2013 OP's = £538 (seem to remember achieving this a month but above had a lot to do with this)

    Became a great god-mother to a beautiful baby girl

    Survived Christmas (especially the bit staying at the evils)

    Have been mega busy at work, hence the lack of posting and sleeping a lot)

    Mortgage (even with measly OP's) is now sitting under £100K and to pay back in 10 years means finding another £23K over the next 8 years :)

    So £500 paid of yesterday :)

    Radish my old mucker!!!!!! I am so very, very happy to see you back:D

    Congratulations on becoming a great-God-Mother (and for one so young;)). Well done on the kitchen/utility room completion also - mine is still a shittyshithole however I have grand plans for 2014, yes, I intend to do some cleaning AND tidying up!!! (I know, I know, who'd have thought it, huh?!)

    It looks like we are both on track for similar mortgage freedom dates so can remain buddymuckermates for the next decade:T

    PS. I also became a year older and it SUCKS!
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
