I can't take credit for it, I got it from someone else but I like the way it chops months off the end with each OP made, which is why I put my birthdays in the next column so I can see it getting nearer to the one ending in 0

The above has been shuffled across to the mortgage since my last post
A RR down of the joint account and a TT of my account (which included the £5 H@lifax monthly reward)

2 years both house where on the market for, then went within 3 months of each other. I had only lived at BF's a week when his buyers first viewed, then homeless, then gazumped, then bought this place (better then the house we lost)
Never ever want to move house 3 times in 4 months again
