Wowsome mortgage overpayments! :at
Sounds like a lovely trip xxa penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0 -

How can you get bumped off a flight if you have a ticket?? Hope it all got sorted out.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0

Not only did he have a ticket, he also had an allocated seat!!! Original plane taken out of service and replaced by smaller plane. BA have given him £474 compensation (holiday spending money :T) but it does mean that he now needs to fit 5 days of work into 4 days.
